HI...
A simple question:
What do i have to do to get the towns growing?

passengers, mail, goods and time

Also, welcome dude...

Also, water and food in the desert, and food above the snow line.

Or the 'expand' button in the editor, and the 'fund new buildings' option in game, of course

so, it is not important for the growing from which town (distance) the passangers and post arrive?
Can you say: more passangers, post and goods = faster growing?

yep...

i have around 4 trams in a small town, by the time i get back to it, its quite large and its hard for me to find spots to put tracks down

I think one thing we have missed out are geographic factors. The town size have boundaries; it cannot expand it's population unlimitedly. Normally towns will merge together in later stage of the game, and when they do, the one in the centre will not be able to expand.

Anyway I've included a picture to illustrate the effect of passengers, mails and goods on a town. The 6 town dialogs show the growth of a town from 1958, when the train station was built, to 2047.

Note that the city growed steadily at the start, slowed down, and eventually stops with increasing number of goods accepted. Hope this helps

it's all about town growth switches .... one of my towns, Reims, was about 35, I put there bus stop, hit twice FUND NEW BUILDINGS and the game in few years is around 10k, mostly high buildings (if town had more roads would be extremly larger) but since town do not build roads automatically with townbuildnoroads on it's limited by road I built for town ...

As you mentioned about those towngrowth switches, what could be "good" settings so towns would grow little more faster and bigger, but not so incredibly fast?

I htink the best it like I do:
- tweak settings to make town growing awesome fast and big
- but turn on townbuildnoroads switch so that it will not grow without roads
then only you decide how big the town will be by giving it roads
