Nothing to see here, needed a thread to link something to. Move on, don't you have homes to go to?
It's now on Bananas, absolutely not finished yet, but playable. Give it a try.
What do you get?
- road vehicles from 1860-2000(ish)
- passenger trams, buses and coaches
- general cargo trams and trucks refittable to all freight (so should work with all industry newgrfs)
- specialised cargo trams and trucks
- includes steam, electric and diesel vehicles
- most trucks are articulated and cannot use drive-in roadstops
- courier trucks intended for town use (or however you want to use them) and are never articulated (so can use drive-in roadstops)
Eh credits: DanMacK did a lot of the sprites, also thanks for sprites adapted from originals by: Pikka, Zephyris, and the BATS set (all sprites used with permission or under GPL v2).

BEST THREAD EVER
No release, no info, no pictures, and already there's an argument. Even better than BROS.

I FOUND A BUG
The sprites seem to be broken.
Do you have a readme where it would be written to make me aware of it?
I demand 100% refund immediately!

No, that would violate a trademark of the Hormel Foods Corporation.
For legal reasons, future description of this thread must use the term 'OpenS', with the 'S' being an arbitrary character and definitely not representing the word 'Spam'.

So here's a teaser. As you'll see, the set covers both trams and trucks.

HEQS is dead.
The screenshot posted earlier shows Road Hog as it was last week. Of course, I've redesigned it since then and binned most of those vehicles.

Would be interested to know how you came up with the name Amblecote.
The house I grew up in was built on an old brickworks, which received lime from a quarry about five hundred yards away by what I believe was a tram system.
This was all in the village of Amblecote.
Is this where you got it from? I know Buildwas has a quarry, for example.

You get a prize Dave.
If you can find the other set of names (there are two sources) you can have the other prize. It's a cuddly toy.
