Thanks, I used to think my old maps were quite good then I look back at them and realise they're not, it's quite hard to judge your own work.

Indeed your map is nice but it might need a little more colour

Thanks! Here's two for you, one of my network map and one of the main city, Oxford and the surrounding area.teccuk wrote:Norfolkadam wrote:Another map from the same region.

Wow. Thats' a great network.
Oxford suburban services look great. Close-up?

Re: Show us your network maps
Oxford Queen St station showing the departures. It's a shame I find it harder to get more than once-an-hour services going without causing irredeemable congestion or unrealistically huge stations.teccuk wrote:Wow. Thats' a great network.

North of Oxford QS is this junction showing 2 Intercity trains coming in from Yelvertoft on the fast line and regional trains coming in from Blaydon. You'll notice that some services are missing from the departure board, that's because I got bored of this map and started a new one before I'd put trains on all the lines, also some trains going along the coast skip this station.
I think this is a pretty realistic shot of the region in question. Makes me quite happy to look at even if I'm slightly sick of the sight of it.

I added the trains to groups called those things then used the options menu to make the boards display train groups.iranair777 wrote:^How did you get the 'regional' and 'intercity' words on the board?

The Elmstead Junction shot is brilliant, picked up some signalling tips!

Re: Show us your network maps
I love the idea here, so I made a map of my current game using Wikipedia. Red is the rail tracks while blue are truck routes. It's an interesting thought problem of how to make a complex 2D network into a simplified, almost 1D representation...
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Re: Show us your network maps
I've decided to change my mapping style a bit.
Drawing a separate line for each train route clutters things up far too much on a non-trivially sized network.

I used MS Visio 2003, and I don't know of any tutorials out there.
Best to just experiment and see what style/mechanism works for you IMO.
