[OTTD] Bad Hair Day's Bad Screenshots

Right... I've not posted any shots here for a while, so to make up for it, I've got 39 for you. Yes, 39.

I'm imageshacking them because of the amount of posts I'll need otherwise. Any problems, pm me.

Anyhoo, away we go;

Arctic Climate
Mountainous
US Set
HOVS Buses
AV8 (But no aircraft being used yet.)

Following a K4 Pacific round all the passenger open mainlines.

We start our journey in New Slundingston.

http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/2311/99822311wm6.png
Here, the train is trundling through one of the numerous junction on this network. Thanks to PBS, they're realistic too.

Little Fredham! Funny how on this normally deserted line, four trains manage to arrive at once...

http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/2696/24791199fs9.png
And now we're in Hadham. Nice view of the lake.

http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/7201/15339712cs1.png
Not much further along, we pass an agricultural station.

http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/2325/27724800ti5.png
A zoomed out view of a real pain-in-the-proverbial area. This place used to be jam central until the junction layout was changed.

http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/7224/74076155jk5.png
Following the contours!

http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/8326/61310332ob4.png
A lot of landscaping was required to make this junction possible. I don't like massive earthworks like this, but sometimes, there is no other option.

http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/777/20015226ge2.png
Gundbourne is pretty much crammed into a corner. Ah well, stations don't have feelings... Do they?

http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/749/10qr1.png
We're now in Nudbourne. An empty food train can be seen on the right join the main-mainline, if that makes sense at all.

http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/7403/11qm5.png
After leaving Nudbourne, the track makes a triangle, then squiggles a bit. Most of the triangle isn't visible, but the squiggle is in clear view!

http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/6955/12me1.png
Another squiggle! And a coal unloading station. It's really two seperate stations under the same name as they are on the ends of seperate sections.

http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/4582/13wa5.png
Here, our train crosses a viaduct over an area of farmland. MoooOoOoO!

http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/6903/14zx8.png
The train arrives at Nentfingburg! An interesting junction is also visible.

http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/1275/15ix2.png
Must be a nice view from the carraiges in this shot...

http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/892/16lq2.png
Ignoring the fact that it's a noisy piece of 90 MPH metal, the train is seen rattling through an otherwise tranquil mountain pass. Should wake up anyone living down there...

http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/6518/17iz0.png
Sontfingpool Bridge! It was a bit difficult to get the line both in, and out due the the mountain on one side, and a sheer drop on the other. Our engineers managed to handle it though.

http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4594/18dx6.png
Here' our train is seen about to depart from Letfingburg. This section was also difficult to build...

http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/6323/19mx0.png
...as this image shows.

http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/9634/20qh3.png
We've reached our first terminus! Time to turn around, and go back the way we came for a little while...

http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/2272/21fa3.png
...But we're not going to make you trawl through more of what you've already seen, so we skip most of that, and continue from Nentfingburd Junction.

http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/9058/22rg3.png
And now we're going down another pass. If you're lucky, you might see an eagle or two. Hey look! There's one- errr... Oh. It hit the window.

http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/2586/23dk8.png
Here, we join the mainline that will take us up to our next destination.

http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/3855/24so1.png
Our train is seen here arriving at the station of another stupidly named town; Suntfingbrige! Which idiot came up with these names?...

http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/1452/25ix3.png
Cunningpool! Within walking distance of Suntfingbridge! That is, if you don't mind walking over an 'effing great mountain. Got rope?

http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/6958/26fs7.png
There are times when following the contours simply isn't enough...

http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/995/27by2.png
The second terminus! Time to turn round again...

http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4392/28er1.png
We're now on the last leg of our journey. The line visible above is a coal only line, and one of the oldest parts of the network. Yes, I know it's only 1928, but the day length is 5 times the norm.

http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/3730/29dy1.png
Rattling along, nearing a tunnel...

http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6158/30tf3.png
Once out the the tunnel, the first thing you see is the suburbs of Geninghead.

http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/8218/31gj7.png
The station of Geninghead itself.

http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/2015/32mx6.png
Here, our train passes a coal train in this short cutting between two tunnels.

http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/6483/33th1.png
Wadborough! The company's home town.

http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/8277/34ea4.png
Merges, splits, squiggles, and an 'effing big coal station.

http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/1633/35fp4.png
Passing a minor junction. The other line leads to a much smaller coal station.

http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/9025/36ew2.png
Teburg! Squiggly wiggly!

http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/7438/37gq5.png
A lovely lake view...

http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/2595/38lv2.png
At last! We're back where we started! We, at Lunatic Logistics hope you enjoyed your trip.

You're a sad man...

A sad, sad man.

Ameecher · Post by **Ameecher** » 02 Mar 2007 23:56

Sad maybe but it's nice to see some sympathetic building methods, Nice shots 2-10-0!

BBoy Symm · Post by **BBoy Symm** » 03 Mar 2007 10:06

Lots of screenies! I like them all. Your stations look really nice.

Bad Hair Day · Post by **Bad Hair Day** » 03 Mar 2007 17:21

Seven more for now;

It's 1930, and we are going to be riding the interurbans on this humble little line in Slundingston.

Bad Hair Day · Post by **Bad Hair Day** » 03 Mar 2007 17:23

More...

Bad Hair Day · Post by **Bad Hair Day** » 03 Mar 2007 17:25

Last one...

BBoy Symm · Post by **BBoy Symm** » 03 Mar 2007 20:29

I like that last one

How long is the tunnel?

Bad Hair Day · Post by **Bad Hair Day** » 03 Mar 2007 22:21

10 squares.

BBoy Symm · Post by **BBoy Symm** » 03 Mar 2007 22:23

well..thanks for telling that *was hoping for another screenie*

Bad Hair Day · Post by **Bad Hair Day** » 03 Mar 2007 22:32

But... But... )-:
*Cries.*

Heheh, here's a screenie for you;

BBoy Symm · Post by **BBoy Symm** » 03 Mar 2007 22:37

Now I'm satisfied

Suppose that's the only way you could connect it to the station.

Bad Hair Day · Post by **Bad Hair Day** » 05 Mar 2007 22:09

Due to a mixure of boredom and my eagerness to at least sort of copy reality, an isolated, and otherwise fruitless area has been turn into cash cow, all be it a lean cow struggling to stand up, but it makes a profit, and that's all that matters!

The railway in the area is run by single track with passing loops, and as of yet, there has not been one jam.

Screenies for you:

Aegir · Post by **Aegir** » 06 Mar 2007 02:12

Nice screenies, but your old avatar with Immortal in it was better.

Yeap. Terrificly on-topic

.

Bad Hair Day · Post by **Bad Hair Day** » 06 Mar 2007 16:00

Hmmm, well my current avatar is from Episode 6 of the Madness Combat series, which I have found my selve addicted to, along with the theme tune.

In other news, I intend to be posting at least one screenshot here a day (as long as I'm about) from now on.

Bad Hair Day · Post by **Bad Hair Day** » 06 Mar 2007 23:03

Three shots...

Sleepie · Post by **Sleepie** » 06 Mar 2007 23:26

Really nice screenies from you in the last days

Keep them coming

Btw. the bridge in the 1st pic of the latest batch looks strange, seems to be some graphic glitch.

Bad Hair Day · Post by **Bad Hair Day** » 07 Mar 2007 09:39

Yeah, I don't think the US Roads like Pikka's bridge.

Sleepie · Post by **Sleepie** » 07 Mar 2007 11:10

Hmm, maybe a different order in the newgrf settings could help

Bad Hair Day · Post by **Bad Hair Day** » 07 Mar 2007 23:22

As promised, a shot for the day.
(I have more, but can't be bothered to upload them all now. Will do so tomorrow.)
