Hi all,

Long time visitor (and mostly lurker) of these forums, I decided to share some screenshots with you. Enjoy

Introduction

1. Welcome to Binfield, one of the countries major economic centres, with it's main street situated up a hill. Being an important centre of trade, it has two railway connections from its train and bus station, located directly behind Main Street. Here we are in the early 1950's, with double Ginzu A4 arriving from Lindborough.

2. More downhill, we find two more areas of interest. First, we see the harbour where one can take the boat services to small villages on the lake like Nedhead Cross and Drintfingpool.
Secondly, more to the east, we see the new residential area Binfield Lakeside. It has a direct connection by bus with Binfield station. Residents enjoy calm suburban life near the lake, but commute to citycentre easily.

3. From Binfield, trains head to the south, to Seburg. On the route passengers find the small village of Sudinghead. Plans for a local busservice never got far due to lack of local demand.

4. After passing Sudinghead, trains arrive in Seburg, the countries capital and administrative centre. The cities' station lies somewhat eccentric and a bus network connects it with the rest of the city.

The age of modernity

7. The town of Seburg wants to expand. As the countries capital, it's attracting many people who come to live and work in the city. Transport is one of the major issues in planning the expansion. Local trains cannot be connected to the train station, so a network of trams is being build in 1956, just before the new neighbourhoods are built. One of the new stops is named Hungary Street, because the city wanted to show its sympathy with the Hungarians revolting against the Soviets.

8. Meanwhile, in Binfield, economic activity is booming. The line to Seburg has been doubled and a brand new industrial area has been set up. Inhabitants of Binfield Lakeside however, are said to be unhappy because of this huge industrial buildings near there houses.

9. In Sudinghead, nothing really changes. Local government didn't want to invest in a bigger station. The national train company also decided that they didn't need this extra stop, because of it's complicated construction in the hills.
