how to transport beer?

Post by RSpeed tycoonfreak »

I have the new cargo set and I want to transport beer to a town.
The problem is: that i have no carriage to transport beer.
I can only be done by ships.
I'll have the planeset too and i guess it can be done to by an aircraft (the anatov or whatever i calls) but the game is in 1975 so i haven't got that plane yet.
And I love trains so i want this with trains too.
Is there a place where I can download a beer tanker or something?

What ships are you using? If it's the Newships set by Michael Blunck, then I'm not surprised. Since the NewIndustry set was created by Michael, it's only natural that all of his other graphics set would support beer. Currently, Michael's only released trainset is the DBSet, so you're going to have to use that set in order to carry beer. A question I've been waiting for a while to ask, however, is just what kind of buildings accept beer? The only one I've seen is the Stadium but that building is not nearly stable enough to justify delivering beer long-term to a city since it may be destroyed later on. It's also unrealistic that a 5000 pop. city won't accept beer because they have no Stadium. :?

Any train set which supports newcargos should be able to carry beer.

I agree with you on this one. I think that having the stadium build and STAY where it is (only removable by the player) like the Cathedral in TTRS2 would make it much more viable.

My only other solution is to take beer to a main station, and have a beer van on the end of every train, so that it drops it off at any station nearby. But, if you have no stations on your netwrok taking beer at any one time, it's rather pointless.

I'll help you get rid of the beer at your stations though.
