Interesting result, I like it .

Let no-one say that I'm against multi-culturalism .

It's basically British day in JapanTown somewhere in the USA...
(But actually, I can't see any graphics from UKRS or TTRv2 ).

Trains are from UKRS. Building with the clock is from TTRSv2. The clay pit that's obscured by trees is from UKRS.

Wow, I didn't know you COULD combine Jp Set Buildings, TTRS2, and North American Buildings...

But more screens!

It is June of 2030.

1) Those blasphemous single headed Eurostars have been replaced by 5AT's. Either there is a serious power crisis or someone really likes steam. Here, 5AT No. 220L pulls a loaded train out of Sector 12.

But what's this? New safety measures require a brakevan to be added to the end of this train! It is crewed by a crew of three! Just like on commercial jets, passengers in the back of the train must help operate the brakevan in the case of an emergency.

The Pendolino headed southwest, No. 1231L, is getting very old and urgently needs replacing. Clearly the trainload of passengers are unaware.

Further south at Midgar Industrial, a trio of [Insert that confusing name that starts with a C here] maglevs await a load of goods. Replacing the previous goods fleet, some 10 to 20 EMD Class 67's, the maglevs run a circuitous route originally designed for local passenger maglevs.

2) Scratch that power crisis. Just north of Sector 12 we see a set of British unit (No pun intended) trains hauling coal. Each train is multiheaded... err, multi-engined by two AL10's, generating a whopping 20000 hp.

3) But that 20000 hp pales in comparison to the 35000 hp of 19 coupled Type 3's! But that mighty engine doesn't work for free - it costs 440000 a year to operate! Such a unit would be suitable for moving countries and similar heavy freight duties.

(Now don't ask how that mutant came to be - I'm not really sure myself)

(Interestingly, concerning the AL10 hauled coal trains - I can get more tons of coal in a 9 square train hauling the small mineral wagons than I can in a 9 square train composed of polybulk hoppers. Is this a bug or a feature?)

Digest this into your grotesque eye-holes my filthy stink children:

And the last two:

Some more screens to get you foaming at the lips over the ausset.

Some impressions from my latest game:

1. Freetown, on the southern end of the map is becoming a major hub for passenger travel. There is a commuter line (electrified) which runs from Tatburg springs via Freetown, Grunwell and Wruninghall to Druham. That is run by a EE1, currently the only passenger electric. Then we have the mainline which runs along the steep slopes up to Fladingworth, then crosses the river to Huntburg. the line in the other direction is not yet finished, but will eventually run via Wruninghall towards the North-West.

2. On the Northern end of the map lies the small town of Pronston, which gives the mining area across the river its name. Here the miners have found iron ore, coal and gravel, all of it is shipped down to the river landings where it is loaded into vessels and shipped to the Flintston-Newcastle industrial area.

3. the Flintston-Newcastle industrial area features a busy stell mill as well as a brickworks. coal is also coming from other mines towards the south and unloaded at Flintston Heights, from where it is brought in by small trucks to the steelmill. Most of that coal however is going to the Newcastle Powerplant, further north.

Nice story The Irish! I tought I add some pic too

Spongebob... The horror...!

Last set of screens here, we are going to take a obligatory journey on this vast and demented network.

7) The train we are following is circled, as it may be hard to find amidst the muddle that is a cropped giant screenshot. 319L is composed of an EMD Class 67 (Goods by night, pax by day - it's super train!), a new, shiny, round mail van, and five new, shiny, round pax cars. Its callsign indicates that it is company engine number 19, hauling a local train on route 3, which is a long and eclectic loop encompassing about half the map.

The Pendolino approaching on left is not very old and does not urgently need replacing. Nor is the one two tracks over. Or the one pulling out of Crossroads.

Barely cut out of the picture, just north of Sector 3 airport is a Costar Hydra. The tech savvy nerd-politicans of Midgar (The same ones responsible for those single headed Eurostars and 5ATs) are always interested in new technologies and own shares in the Costar company. I smell a scandal.

8) Having stopped at Crossroads and departed, 319L travels a city's length on the Midgar Main and heads to the west. The four track line runs almost two thirds the length of the map. Due to some nifty routing, goods trains usually run on the inner tracks, and other trains on the outer tracks. Class 67's are unrealistically hauling everything from steel to coal. Maybe someone out there just likes really fast coal trains.

9) Northwest of Crossroads, 319L turns onto another main line. The Chesedonia (Formerly Pranway) Main is a four track line disguised as a two track line to confuse the average layman. There's stuff going on at the Chesedonia Industrial Park. Lots of stuff. Like steel being milled. Not so coincidentally, Chesedonia Industrial (B) is also the terminus of the Midgar Main. What a surprise.

To our left is another Costar Hydra. It is running round trips from some Oil Rigs.

Entering track four of Chesedonia Industrial (B) is some coal and wood. But GOOD LORD! It's in the SAME TRAIN! What is the world coming to!? There is also livestock and grain in the same train just behind that Costar Hydra.

Finally, on track four of Chesedonia Industrial (A) is a brakevan attached to a Wardale 604 and some pax cars. If you think of 319L and line (3) as the minute hand of a clock going in reverse, then 333E is like the second hand going the right way around.

EDIT: The pics are out of order for some odd reason.

10) We leave Chesedonia and continue northwest through a couple of check points and towards the nothernmost point and terminus of the (3) line, Quarnville. But WAIT! This is not Quarnville! What gives!

Central is south of and actually two stops down from Quarnville. But since there really isn't anything exciting on that line, I've skipped the screens. What is Central the central of? Beats me. But the central station in Central is called Central Central. There used to be two stations in Central. The Central station that wasn't Central Central used to be the terminus for those goods pullin' maglevs. That honor has gone west.

There is a Costar Century going west. It is clearly the handiwork of those politicians. Generally the company prefers its Pendolinos.

11) And we are back in the mess that is Midgar. Despite the craftiness of those nerd-politicians, they still have to figured out how to remove the congestion on in Sector 12. They have, however, put an ample amount of government spending into green technology, purchasing several trains from the Costar company.

But what about those 5ATs? They have been painted green and blue to promote green alternatives.

At the sector 3 airport is an A380. It is also painted green and blue for mysterious reaons. Advertising, maybe?

12) Back at Headquarters, the southern terminus of the (3) line. You just spent three months going nowhere! Please watch the doors and have a nice day. You can even take 316L and ride the loop in the opposite direction!

EDIT: The pictures are out of order again, probably due to the file sizes :?

The polybulk hoppers can go a lot faster though - assuming you have wagon speedlimits turned on.

Ooh, is it TTDP? Is it OTTD?

I don't think you can see a difference unless you know the scenario I'm playing or recognise the way the screenshot is named. It's OTTD. If it was TTDP, I would of course be using different PBS signals, and probably UKRSI.
