You going to College in Canada?

Quite a nice Senario there you uploaded. It's cool. Did you replace all the trains with maglevs or something?

Two pics of my main line. That means there are woodtrains, papertrains and goodtrains. All trains you see are fully loaded or on their way back.

Nice mainline.
Image I like Articulated Buses or Streetcars (Although I really like anything with wheels including planes, Thanks to Seelenquell for making Toronto's ALRV and CLRV for Locomotion. All we need now is a TTC D40LF and D60LF to go with the LRVs. Plus the Scarborough RT vehicles too.)
Resion for the LRV's is to make a good alternative to buses. Visit Here for more info.

What else should you do with that amount of money.

How'd he get all that money?

I usually buy extra CLRVs if I got extra money. And make extra lines.

Sometimes when I got too much money I just create a junk yard with destoryed trains. I create a ramp and send a bunch of trains off it.

Sometimes I build a test loop for new trains to be tested. So yeah interesting things you can do with extra money.

At the start of my "Streetcar Era" I had more ALRVs then I had CLRVs. Now my ALRVs are outnumbered 10 to 1. So I had loads of extra cash.

yeah, my depot is useless. I usually put my new trains there, make their route and start them. I have testing areas too like Breeze, but only if i build an underground railway. I usually build junction testers, where I test the junctions and correct the signalling, if it is wrong. Sometimes I make Transporting museums too with old vehicles. Eg. if I replace the old metro wagons with the new ones, I put one of them into the transporting museum. Useless, useless and useless again, but I like it.

I usually build my testing areas in the middle of no where. Or if there's a empty field near a big city.

I also have this major boat line with like 40 boats on it. I'll get a screenshot.

I'm trying to replace it with this tunnel I built. Tobad there aren't any good locomotives yet to run in it.


Also for that map I'm testing, I built a state of the art anti-congestion system. Before I got that system my streetcars would gridlock them self. I haven't got any gridlock since I put that system into service. It's also removed this line of streetcars that were waiting. So yeah. It's pretty state of the art.

It took me 1 hour to invent it. I was testing multiple stuff for that time. I would see if it would not seize up for 10 minutes. Only one that passed was the one that is now working.

I might post a screenshot of that. It's so cool how I made it work.

Mr. Blue AI forgot that his tunnel needed to actually have an entrance. Thankfully for him, so did the pathfinding.

I actually like that AI one; it's a very cool mountain line.

Wow...ok, I downloaded the file to be able to get the station platforms w/out the roofs so I can see the trains, and I uploaded it to my objdata folder and when I play the game I don't see it and it looks like this only appears to show up in the British game format...what am I doing wrong? And where can I get the right download if this is wrong?

Nothing, just thick that English platform in the editor.
When you build it, it is the one without the roof.
