[TTDP] AndersI's Swedish experience...

AndersI · Post by **AndersI** » 26 Mar 2007 21:22

OK, I've been drawing Swedish trains for a while now, it's time to put them on display too.

I drew a 'bent longmap' of Sweden to be able to put the trains in their natural habitat, and most resources at the right place.

As this is the first scenario I've drawn, it will probably need to be redesigned after playing it for a while (I just realized I'd forgotten to plant trees - Sweden without lots of trees is, um, strange).

Enough talking! Let the pictures speak...

Very nice AndersI

Looking forward to see more...

Lovely stuff. and a nice map as well.
Any chance of posting the scenario?

Nice idea with the transmitters there!

As I'm big realism admire I would never use this way as 'shortcut'

And I would be interested to try this scenario too!

Very nice map, that idea with transmitters give TTD a new dimension

please allow it

Wow, this looks damn nice

Keep it up, post more of our lovely country

The transmitters work for ships, but an aircraft will fly over them very happily...

AndersI · Post by **AndersI** » 28 Mar 2007 20:34

Some answers...

- Of course I will publish the scenario, but later. As I said, there are a lot of things that needs tweaking before it's 'good enough'. Among other things, I think there are too many cities in the south, and as I said above, I forgot to place trees! (I was so eager to start playing)

- The transmitters: I put them there to make it very obvious that the map is 'bent'. No ships, roads or trains are able to pass. If you still want to cheat the realism and use airplanes, it's completely up to you

- More pictures will come, but Real Life takes priority. I have built a 'Malmbanan' (Iron ore track) in the extreme north (ie. the lower right corner on the map), and that's next for imaging.

- I probably should have used the Alpine climate, as that would be much more like Sweden. Oh well, there's always a second time...

Why ships cant! What's water for then!

Looks very good, Anders

I really like this with Malmbanan and all. Just a question.. Why bend the map instead of making it, like 1024 x whatever would fit?

Look at the topic heading. [TTDP] last time I looked the map sizes hadn't changed and I am 100% certain that is still the case.

Oh. Sorry, my mistake

AndersI · Post by **AndersI** » 29 Mar 2007 21:38

So, what happens in the south? The passenger traffic to/from Stockholm is picking up, Stockholm is growing nicely. Eskilstuna (my home town) is unfortunately still quite small...

Nice pictures AndersI

Stockholm's train station would look even nicer with some buffers

Post by **Chrill** » 30 Mar 2007 18:23

Try to recreate Stockholms Centralstation!

That'd be a mission of hard work

You mean because of the bridges at the entrance/exit? Yep, would be a little challenge. Or I'm wrong here and you mean the reallife station?

Actually, that's precisely what I have done

At TTD scale...

Post by **Chrill** » 30 Mar 2007 21:50

Oh.. My mistake

But you can't go north, to, like Uppsala or Gävle

This is looking so very very cool though

Time goes on... It is now 1942 and the connection between the east and west coasts is almost complete. It's not double tracked all the way, but most of it.

Let's take a trip from Göteborg (that's Gothenburg) on the west coast to Stockholm on the east.
