Whoa, what grf is that? I usually run TBRS + Monkey Bar Bridges + Better Bridge Parameters but I do miss having some kind of wooden bridge... and that trestle and covered bridge look great!

Entries are closing in a few hours, in case there are any last-minute stragglers :)
I would like to propose a rule that any screenshots from NetTrans be barred from future competitions - you did too damn good a job at that game and it's not fair to everybody else still struggling for awesomeness!!! ;) :bow:

They are part of a bridge set that is a work in progress. There will be a release, but not for a while yet ... The price of me doing too many things at once. :wink:

It's not NetTrans, it's from a Japanese game I played on Tintinfan's server a little while ago... although I'm glad NetTrans seems to have a reputation now :P


Anyway, here are the entries for Heavy Haulage! Let's get voting!

Comm Cody
From the lowly docks, several Crocodile locomotives await more coal or iron ore to transport up to the steel mill in the hill. The steel will then travel back down to the metal processing plant and be turned into goods to be transported around the map. These are the longest trains run by National Rail, stretching 14 tiles long and always clogging up the mainline. To fill these trains, several ships loaded with Iron Ore and transfer coal trains unload in this yard to condense the number of trains heading up the pass.

They make good money though.

STD
Two electrified railways - trunk electrified DC railroad (140 km/h) and high-speed electrified DC railroad (250 km/h). Trunk electrified DC railroad is used for the movement of freight trains of large capacity, carrying different cargoes (coal, sand, limestone, scrap and others). High-speed electrified DC railroad is used for the movement of passenger express EVS1 "Sapsan" between cities and small towns. The area to the right and to the left very beautiful: wheat fields (now it is time to start harvesting wheat), deciduous forest with a lake.

Heavy haulage of passengers around Olympic Park in Stratford, London. Eurostar and Javelin services can be seen running out of the low-level Stratford International while above ground 'DLR', London Overground & Underground, TfL and Abellio Greater Anglia services can be seen.

We have a three M636 diesel head with two helpers mid train and one pusher on the end moving 162 wagons each containing 47 tonnes of iron ore for a total of 7614 tonnes from Campbellton Mines bound for Port Campbellton Terminal to be loaded and shipped to the foundries at Hamilton. The challenge is moving downhill across an old wood trestle and an even older covered bridge where the maximum speed has to be held to 35 k/h.

I'm glad that in this time included 6 screenshots :)) . Frankly, it is difficult to make a choice at some of the screenshots. Each has its own features and compliance with current theme. Very interesting, as would be the result of the vote :wink: .

Here I am partly to blame :mrgreen: . I already have a new theme :D . Jake and I together decided what better theme to choose in this time. He left the final decision for me. I made a decision...

Coastal areas - this is quite a broad theme. Here is a great flight of fantasy. Examples: towns and villages on the coast of the river, sea or lake; beaches, mountains, forests and others, and various combination of different types of transport (trucks, cars, buses, trams, trains, ships, planes, helicopters). The theme does not restrict anything. Here, any climate, any terrain - flat, hilly, mountainous.

And as usual I wish you all good luck. I hope that the number of screenshots will not be less than on the subject of "Heavy Haulage" :wink: . Thank you to all those who voted for my screenshot. It's a really pleasant surprise for me :)) .

Four screenshot - not bad :) . Very strange that this time so little. The theme is quite simple and is very extensive. You can show a lot of things :) . Probably many are just very busy. I wonder what will happen next time, at the end of October :) .
