Great map Teccuk. Liked it so much ur my 1st post

i felt like a challenge so i removed all of the closest mines and started building from the far side
also added the new loco's i've been working on (including the big big, shouldnt have trouble at all

), changed the date to 1900

its 1912 now, got 3 trains running, double tracked about half of the hill, and the city near the mines is about 60,000 people

, after having 5 trams...

got it set up quite well now, completely looped, heaps of one way signals and....
a train that can easily carry 425 tonnes of coal up the hill

60,000?! Hmm thats a shame i thought i'd found a way to limit town growth, by limiting the number of 2X2 buildings available!

In the version im made for me i'd pre-walled them all in with either canals or pretty looking medieval walls.

Quite an honour Ricardo, thanks!

love this scenario played it once as is just added some more trains.
I have now started a second game from 1900 its now 1925 i have AMI heavy mikados coupled to a caldas (renfe) with a BR snowplough on the front pulling 24 20 ton trailers over the hill on 6 tracks (3 there 3 back) (very tight squeeze in places

) i also added some forests on the far side a wood chip sawmill near the power station and a paper mill near the forrests and am begining to link them up even with 6 tracks the pass will be very busy so i have also started 2 new tracks to make 5 1 way 3 the other as most loads go 1 way so i need less return tracks as almost all the return trains are empty and therefore quicker

for the to new tracks i had to make small tunnels in 2 places but i am staying within the pass mostly otherwise it would defeat the point of it being there

i have also been creating a third version so i will be using this scenario (in various forms) lots good work

Brillaint! I'm glad someone want to improve on the scenario using the landscape. Please post some of your scenarios!

I'd love to see them.

How do you ever complete this???

I am not an expert, you may say a Rookie, but I run out of money ages before I complete my rail

How do you build? Directly over the mountains or through the valley?

I started with closest mine to get cash then went from there, once you get the first few trains rolling you get money pretty quick.

take a look at my shots of the game for ideas how i did it, some people run the valley, some bridged, some tunneld under the mountains. i ran the valley for realisim. dont forget to keep hitting up the bank for a loan. http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?t=9916&start=824

Thanks

I'll try again

(will post screens when finished)

Plastikman · Post by **Plastikman** » 03 Apr 2006 14:33

if i recall, i started small, 1 or 2 trains and a 2 track station, then as soon as i had the cash i started upgrading. i must have rebuilt the first station 3 times before "production was up" and i had the perfect number of trains servicing it. then i went on the the second route, bought the trains for it then dropped the stations and set them loose. thats where the real money came from. those trains payed well.

Start with the cheapest loop from cloppenstadt. With dual station and 4 trains you will very soon pump enough cash to start drilling.

I finally came back to LoMo and completed this map.

I loved it and ended up with a four track mountain line.

)

reading this reminds me of how much fun Loco is! I los the CD in my last house move... can't find another. Guess it'll turn up :/

Looks AWESOME. There aren't enough mountain passes in LoMo and I think it's fun to build in them.

teccuk · Post by **teccuk** » 04 May 2008 10:26

Cheers.

I replayed this the other week after re-installing Loco, i've gone and lost nearly all my unfinished scenarios, many of which had pretty mountains, i'm a bit cheesed off about that, but this one is still good.

sonic_777111 · Post by **sonic_777111** » 23 May 2008 17:09

This is easily one of the best scenarios I've played.

Did you deliberately put those extra mines so close to Oberhausen power plant?

Plastikman · Post by **Plastikman** » 23 May 2008 18:22

I'll agree, this is an awsome map. i love to run it with out a single tunnel. .

to bad my old sceenshots that i posted earlier in this thread are lost... there is a chance they are on my old web server but i'll need to pick that up from my dads house get them..

All though my avitar image is from those shots...
