I have cleaned up my posts, and added a tracking table to the first post.

Any comments/queries please do not hesitate to ask

(sits on hands)

Please also see the NEWGRF File included BEFORE playing, as it wil not work without the right GRFs (a 'clean' version will be created soon)

Any comments, drop me a 'line

[Ameecher]

Er... What Newgrf file that's been included?

I think he means the one at the end of the tracking table in the first post.

Friendly suggestion ==> Why not simply edit the attachments in your first post? That would keep everything in one place for those searching for your files. Then all you need to do is say "First post updated with new files."

[welshdragon]

i did that, and i have put it there as well, it just saves people having to backtrack all the way to page 1!

[welshdragon]

If you have downloaded the map file, what do you think? can you create an effective train network, can you run effective bus systems? Let me know what you think, then i can develop it and make it better

[welshdragon]

The 'clean' version has one moification - Bangor Farm meant that a two track exit from Bangor to Llanfairfechan (pronounced chan-fair-fe-chan) was not possible, and on my network, it created severe delays, and driver confusion, ultimately, this should resolve that. I am looking at downloading an industries pack, is there any that are recommended? and finally... would it be possible to create a caravan park? if yes, i'll add it to the tracking table

Feel free to post, pm, wlm, or email me. (wlm folks leave a message, i'm signed off at the mo due to a spammer)

Someone (I forget who) was working on a caravan park a while ago. There should be a thread with images somewhere here in the Graphics section. I believe it was to be a part of a tourist industry chain.

[welshdragon]

thanks wallyweb, as any of you may know, between abergele and prestatyn, there are hundreds of caravan parks, and i thought it would enhance gameplay

[wallyweb]

I found it.
The Caravan Park Industry thread is here!

[welshdragon]

Ok, i'm makin an active contribution to that thread now (being cheeky) so if all goes well, hey will be included in V6 (the numbering's just how I distinguish them in the scenario editor0

Anybody else got anything project related that they want to share?

Is Chester's Station really that much bigger than Liverpool's?


Edit:
Ive had a thought... So this is North Wales. Whats the biggest thing in North Wales? Snowdon, perhaps? In which case, you couldn't have it without the railway could you!! But it will look silly with Class 47's chugging up there. True. Well, fortunately I was at the summit on Friday and felt inspired to come home and draw one of these for you:

Snowdon Mountain Railway

Its only a quick start thats taken me half an hour but if you are interested, I'll finish the angles etc. and give you a sprite sheet ready for a coder. Its a little bit of realism that should help your scenario along a little.

Edit:
One with a plain white background:

It's certainly not your best I'm afraid to say Ben,

It's certainly not your best I'm afraid to say Ben,

Im guessing you missed this part then...

Its only a quick start thats taken me half an hour...

Therefore, and I use this phrase a second time with you Mr.Ameecher, wind your neck in! Im not going to spend hours on something if its not needed. That one is not textured in the slightest, hence it looks rubbish. If Mark wants it and is happy with the shape, I will finish it. Some of us wait until there is a finish product before using those kinds of comments
On another point, the background I placed it on doesnt help much either... so I may replace it with one in plain white.

Jeeeez....

[welshdragon]

Ben_K, that looks great! the only problem is, i can't identify Snowdon! (volunteers needed to find it!)

However, please go ahead and 'fabricate' it, i'll add it to the tracking table asap! (like, um, now)

btw: Yes liverpool is small, as it doesn't have many services calling at it (4 expresses, 4 local) and chester has a total of around 20!

Big pointy thing opposite Anglesey (link)

ha ha very funny! i'll show you what i mean by posting a screenie!
