Thanks

OK forgive my ignorance, but I want to know how on earth did you make the mine look like that Yoshi!!!

It's a newgrf of some sort, although I have no Idea which one...

I also wondered how it was done, till I read the rules:

Yes, most things are made with Gimp:

Nice Gimping there! Still, I wonder what GRF provides this mine - I sure haven't seen it before

[kamnet]

PikkaBird Basic Industries.

And with that - Yoshi has announced the new topic as Suburban Railway Stations.

Hi! A beautiful theme . With pleasure take part. Lay out of myself a screenshot here.

[romazoon]

Well deserved Yoshi really nice work !

[Purno]

Woosh, good to see Yoshi has won, twas what I voted for. I liked how his mine wasn't overly huge.

Question about the new theme though. What exactly is "suburban"?

[wallyweb]

What exactly is "suburban"?

The outer areas surrounding a city. A city is urban and it is surrounded by suburbs which are usually residential communities whose residents commute to work in the city. They are also often referred to as bedroom communities.

[SwissFan91]

Similar to what Wally said. My thoughts on suburbs would be little or no skyscrapers, some green areas or countryside with residential houses. WRT to transport, perhaps smaller, through stations as opposed to the larger terminus stations of the inner city.

The rules about sticking to the topic aren't hugely strict - if people don't think it fits the topic then they may not vote for it!

[SwissFan91]

The competition is closing soon. All late entries to me please!

[STD]

Will be very interesting to see screenshots of the other players on the theme of Suburban railway station

[Jacko]

So I forgot to enter.....
ah well, I'm sure practically everyone else would have something much more thought out than I would

The scene is inspired by the station of Karlsruhe-Durlach in Germany. The big street with the tram tracks from the south west comes from the city of Karlsruhe. Here at Durlach, some trams are switching to the railway and running beyond the outer parts of the city as a Regio-Tram.
