Transport Tycoon Forums

I've posted in the Random Screenshots topic a couple of times, but I think I'll make more screenshots if I have my own topic.

For the first time in the past two years I'm playing a tropic game! This used to be my favourite scenario, but I got completely addicted to DBXL and the UKRS later on.
Last week I discovered the NARS, so I started a tropic random map. I'm not completely satisfied with the new terrain generator for this climate, but it'll do for now.
I started in the year 1920, and the current year is 1947. Enjoy!

Very nice shots!

Thanks ISA!

Nice shots Muse!

I was playing around a bit with an older game.

Mmm, I like that last shot!

Ah the joys of TTDP and PBS

And signal restrictions, to make a short train use the shortest platform.

That too! I'm on a little mission to try and convert Ben to TTDP, he knows hw wants to! I'll keep your thread clear of it though lol.

Nice shots by the way! Do you run your Eurostars on dedicated High Speed lines or on normal lines with other trains?

They are on a dedicated line to the other side of the map. Otherwise they wouldn't be high speed anymore.

One day I will have two large cities on the map that will require such a service, normally though I fill my lines to bursting point, then make them 4 track and with the use of restrictive signalling put all the freight and slower passenger trains on the outside tracks (and the less busy stations) and let my Pendolinos and Class 91s speed down the middle and overtake them all!

This line was made around the year 2000 I think. It's running 3 Eurostars and still both stations have 1000+ waiting passengers. So it's quite rewarding. The station in the screenshot is serviced by a total of 8 trains, including some shorter trains. The city keeps on growing and with it the number of passengers.

I bet it is, I usually have my stations served well enough so that I never need that sort of line lol. Also I usually plan on very hilly maps so it is the regular lines usually take the fastest route and there is little room for a new double track high speed line, let alone extra space at my stations for more platforms.

Aha, in hilly scenarios I'm always lacking free space. So most of the time I don't play hilly scenarios.

After some busy times and besides that playing a lot of Trackmania Nations, I started a new TTD game!
This time it's back to the old days with the DBset, still as fun as ever.

Just one for now, more to come very soon.
