Right folks, tried pax dest all very nice but I wanted to try free-form map edges so I upgraded to the latest nightly. Now let's set the scene of this game.
A small breakaway state in central Europe has gained independence. However, after years of neglect it's transport system lacks somewhat. On the 4th of December 1973 when the country gained independence the state railway was in a sorry state. Just two lines existed from the capital, Hanover, to Goerlitz, a seaside resort and Kiel, a fairly insignificant settlement that once was a major junction. The stock that runs the line is at best of 1950s vintage and is in a terrible state. In many places the line has been singled to save on maintenance and points removed. At Hanover lines of defunct locos litter the sidings and unused stock stands in platforms. A few knackered railbuses provide the commuter service into the station and a BR01 that's seen better days runs to Kiel. On the other line a V140 runs the local stock.

Kiel, a shadow of it's former self. 2 platforms lie isolated and the yard below the station is empty. The lines from here have been severed leaving this as an unlikely terminus. The line to Berlin, the second city in the new state used to run through the cutting to the top of the picture.

Goerlitz, the station sees a 4 times daily service to Hanover but the docks and associated sidings see no traffic.
