New maglev's?

Post by RSpeed tycoonfreak »

Arent there some new maglev's for ttd?
because I see A LOT of train replacements but the maglevs are still the same and that's pretty boring.
with some sets you dont even have a monorail or maglev.

Welcome onboard, tycoonfreak!

Well, actually there is not much real life information about the maglev system, so it is normal that there are not a lot of maglev trains around here.
I mean, people is more interested in seeing the existing trains they are familiar with (local sets) than a set of fantastic trains. Those are nice as added spice, but it requires a lot of effort, teamwork and time to release a well-done set. That's why people will always be releasing the regional sets first.

However, if you are looking for a high-speed train system, why don't you give a try to the Japan set? it includes the famous shinkansen, the bullet-trains.
Also, the France and Spain sets, currently developing, will eventually feature a high speed rail track reserved for fastest train types (AVE, TGV...)

DanMacK's North American Renewal Set contains a decent selection of new Maglevs, and Pikka was hinting at adding some maglevs to the United Kingdom Renewal Set.

I highly reccomend them both. As the maglevs in NARS are quite intreresting to play with, not an overall replacement for normal trains, as they're limited in what they can carry, and UKRS is quite interesting because of the futuristic trains it adds.

NARS is still waiting for more futuristic locos (Some big electrics and diesels), and there was another maglev to add I think. UKRS just needed the maglevs if I remember correctly.

Yes, Dan drew some really nice Maglevs for the NARS, and as of tonight they are in the UKRS too. :)

What I would like to see is some redrawn maglev track - the default is just bleh. A monorail-style beamway would look nice, but it might need a bit of creativity around tunnels and the like.
