Boulder Breakers Extreme ( Big Cities)

[Evaldws]

Well guys, I've been playing lomo for some time, and then I tought: why don't play the most basic scenario to it's extreme? So I've started today playing boulder breakers to it's extreme point. As soon as possible i'll be posting some new screenshots

Now i'm in 1969...

You could stick way more trains in than that though!

How? There ain't no more space and cargo

Hmmm... I like this and its amusing to see where you need to expand etc... but please - no spin off topics - we already have a ScreenShot thread.

Getting it in now before Plastikman starts a few

You could elevate a line through on a loop - each passenger station will only take 80% of its possible passengers and mail anyway.

I had to try this map out with Plastikman new set. I'm up to 10 cargo trains and now working on building the citys with a couple of RDC units. I will post screens soon.

I played it untill i got sick of it, but i didnt enlarged the land. Unfortunatly i lost the saved game.
I was a lot of fun on that small land

[klbond]

Here is my version, Now I'm using all Plastik stuff. The new public beta and some trains I like. Most of the screen shots if not all of them are after I have made big redesign of the layout. I have made the island bigger to meet my needs but I would only raise land after I get over 15m and can only use 3 mil at a time for improvements.

So far I have about 15 shots. I just going to post about 9 tonight and maybe some tomorrow. Sorry this is a new puter and I'm trying to get use to abode elements as my editor. So if I break the frames I will fix asap.

How is the picture size. I run loco in 1600 by 1200. I converted to .jpeg and redused the size to 800x600. Should I make them bigger. Thanks for the input.

The next couple of years were all used to work on the main traffice patterns I wanted. I worked on making all station RO-RO. As you can see in some of the shots I was planning ahead with some stations thinking about begining to build up the towns. Well I did not add any trams or and buses. So it will be difficult to build my citys. Even now only one of my citys is growing.

Here are some more.

I had so much fun posting those, that I want to post some more.

What a day. With the completion of the Boulder Bay tunnel and the completion of the Breaker Bridge Yards everything seemed to be going so well. It was time to make things a little easier on my self buy adding some land for future expansion. As I explained earlier I only started this after I got over 15m and only allowed my self to spend 3mil at a time.

I still can not get the Citys to get bigger. They are staying right at the same. by the time of the last shot I have 3 passenger server trains all running at a loss. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but the problem seems to correct its self later.

Next set of shots will be tomorrow and will include more expansion, and 2 new stations are added.

Dont know. I just have the BR set and Plastik's trains and his new Beta set. I also have the german stations but none in this ser. But I have always been able to connect the VIA to anything if I remember correctly. There are Plastik's VIA if I did not mention it before.

VIA p42 should be unlocked from anything, unless you have VIA Sample beta pack?

[Comm Cody]

Oh crud! that the one i have. Is it the one in the amtrack pack that is the sample?

[Plastikman]

Oh crud! that the one i have. Is it the one in the amtrack pack that is the sample?

uhh can i honestly admit i have never used it? i have not used 1/2 the stuff i have made .... i just remember that once i added the blue cars and the ren cars, I had to many coaches to lock them and got rid of it.

I have seen shots of people using them to pull freight so I am sure they are unlocked.
somewhere I have that loco in MHQ... I should release it..

/back to our regularly scheduled scenario chat...

I hit a snag tonight. It is 2036 and most of Dekosoft is Obsolete. I'm down to 6 or 7 Dekosoft Trains and the UP heritages I had selected. I'm going to quit for a while and will update my progress with shot next. Then I guess I will find the save game tool and add some more locos in. By the way I really love the Acela. I upgraded all my Passenger service with these babies and most of my traffic jams have come to a stop. Boy they can fly.
