Will there be a wooden bridge replacement in this updated version?

Railroads, monorails, maglev will have purnos wooden bridge, and the roads will have ttr3 wooden bridge, unless someone comes up with a better idea.

What about something like the Brick Viaduct? I am playing with the DB Set and these wooden bridges are rather unrealistic for the time because all other bridges are introduced after 1930. The wooden bridges are realistic when you play with the US Set but not with any european set.

Actually, I don't think they're realistic even in the US Set. By 1920 that sort of bridge would have been long gone, except for some of the trestles out west, but they look very different - the wood beams are under the track, not over. I wouldn't mind seeing the wood bridge gone entirely, and replaced by the viaduct, which is much more typical of early bridges IMO.

Please do include both narrow gauge as metro rails. You can contact XeryusTC about the metro rails development grf.

I'd like to know which of my bridges you plan to include. Be aware I made two bridge topics, I'll gather the link to the other one know. This topic only contains 15 of my bridges.

And do you plan to include road bridges too?

EDIT: Link to Dutch Bridge Set <-- clickable

I will include them, what you have mentioned but as always lack of time... Firstly we need to discuss the bridges, witch one should be included. Maybe create a tracking table somewhere. I can make different approach for maglev-monorail-railroad-road bridges, so the possibilites are much greater.

Purno · Post by **Purno** » 14 Jun 2007 15:54

Indeed. I don't know what bridges from others are available.

Stone rail viaducts anyone?
It recoloured by code, the original sprites are left untouched. Plus maglev and monorail support:)

Now we need a grf that makes those have a speed of 90mph and changes pikka's origionals to 60mph!

Why? How does stone allow trains to go faster than if the bridge were made of brick?

stone is slightly stronger (e.g. grey granite) than red brick. In reality this wouldn't matter, but you can exaggerate in a game.

Nice job on the stone-recoloring.

Unfortunetly they use same slot... There is lack of unoccocupied bridge slots.

Do not worry about the speed. I hope we can have both colors. Can you try a less dark grey color? I woudln't say white, since it will trouble our eyes, even if there really exist bridges made of white stone.

Aegir · Post by **Aegir** » 16 Jun 2007 02:16

What other recolours can you achieve, thgergo? I'd imagine that there should be the lighter grey/white'ish recolour as well, I can't recall off the top of my head as I haven't touched bridge code in a while

So... What about this colour?

Purno · Post by **Purno** » 16 Jun 2007 13:54

Doesn't look stonish to me, TBH.

athanasios · Post by **athanasios** » 16 Jun 2007 23:14

That color looks like something else, I won't say what...

Nevertheless it is nice. It will look even better in arctic landscape.

suttonc · Post by **suttonc** » 17 Jun 2007 03:27

Maybe the grey recolour could be used for aquaducts?

m3henry · Post by **m3henry** » 17 Jun 2007 10:26

try and make it lighter, and a tad bit less green
