Purno drew some wagons for European cargo set for toyland. There were cola wagons, lego-bricks carrying wagons, cotton candy wagons AFAIK.

The default toyland landscape isn't so straining on the eyes if you tone down the contrast a little, however the beach tiles, and the red/white tiles have certain directions wich are far too bright. If those tiles are toned down slightly, and people turn their contrast a little(15-25) lower while playing toyland they should be able to play Toyland without any eye straining quite fine. Just a suggestion.

Fun idea! You rule, DM

Nice graphics too. Why not adding a very early electric with animated rods?

Snail... That's a really cool idea

I never really thought of it. Will definitely be added though.

EDIT!!***First post updated with a revised loco list. Not the final one.***

An early Lectroline Electric (To be animated) and a preview of the coaches for the Lectroline Speedster

I must say I like the idea.

Maybe this will finally make me play toyland.

I like this

Maybe this would make me play toyland more.

Love that 1'D'1'! And the red "noses" make it even more clown-like. Which matches with Toyland. Very cool

One more suggestion.

I see you are following the usual evolution path:

Steam->Diesel/Electric->Maglev

Howzabout making some commotion in this scheme? Like start with lousy maglevs, then all the way to the super-duper steam in 2020+? Tis a toyland afterall

m3henry · Post by **m3henry** » 19 Aug 2006 10:19

great, cant wait

how about the company names (train builders) being like: Hornby, Tri-ang, Bachman, Lima?

And may i ask, how does your Maglev>Diesel/electric>Steamer scheme differ from the Steamer>Diesel/electric>Maglev scheme...besides graphically? If as you say the maglevs are "lousy", i doubt they would go much faster than steamers do in TTD's toyland.

Hmmm, and what would be the use be, besides being cosmetical, and not to mention the original Toyland had no such brands. And it would give Toyland even more resemblance to real-life, wich isn't the point in it. Its meant to be a landscape where you can escape realism, not come to it in name of brands.

Yes - But who cares?
