Show us your... railroads and GLR

[Girafe]

I have tested a swiss train for a future region with friends gifts

[Une_ame]

Girafe, you've got pretty good friends .

Prop or MOD ??

[Andreas]

Plop, unfortunately (or not), as you can see the shadow of the train. Also, I don't think that Maxis designed the French version of the game with trains driving on the left, did they? Needless to say, it looks really great!

[firdausabdullah]

Totally agree, it look stunning! 

I think in Europe, only Britain drives on the left (driver sits on the right)... umm  &mmmpretty sure

That's true for cars, but I do know from experience that French trains also drive on the left.

[Une_ame]

French trains also drive on the left

Correct

[mightygoose]

so it is acceptable for us brits to use rail based locomotion in france, spiffing

Hello People

after a long time I'd like to show you some pictures. At the moment I'm trying to adapt plunderer's mod to the SFBT catenaries

Looks good Kenny! 

And fun RL pics, especially that last one. 

[Une_ame]

I'm trying to adapt plunderer's mod to the SFBT catenaries

Looks like a success to me .

[io_bg]

Great, Kenny! However, what about rescaling the catenaries? I think yours look a bit too tall

[Kenworth]

Thank you guy's

However, what about rescaling the catenaries? I think yours look a bit too tall

really?

[Girafe]

A very good mod kenworth

congratulations 

like io bg maybe the catenaries are too tall

[drx.94]

Great work Girafe! Where did you get that amazing train? 

[puresim]

I don't think the catenaries are too tall, they're about the right height. Really nice!

And more RL photos from your work place too please

[Fresh Prince of SC4D]

Euro rail mods are great, can i get more please? 

Girafe- My eye were affixed to the my monitor for 5 minutes looking at your train.....
Kenworth- Your caternaries look great but like some of the others said, I think they 'look' too tall.....But after looking at the RL nite pic they seem realistic.

BTW- Why do the German catenaries look like there meant for the regular rail set but the Swiss version are meant for the High Speed Rail line? Does any anyone notice this?

[Nardo69]

@Fresh Prince of SC4D: The "German" catenaries are made of steel. You'll find this type mostly on major RR lines that had been electrified between 1950 and 1990. The "Swiss" catenaries have a concrete pole. It's more modern because it's cheaper. And almost all High Spped Rail lines have concrete catenaries.

Some may know this layout from the first Thematic Compeition in b/w. Here's another shot from that scene - this time in colour:



Nothing special.

Just a scene from my childhood created in Sc4.

Telegraph lines along railway lines are rare to see these days as well as semaphores. And except some rare nostalgic trains the giant fire dragons are gone, collecting dust or rusting untill they become what they were: red dust. 

Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust.

Childhood's gone for good. Except in Sc4... 


Have fun.

I share your sentiment Nardo. Here's another fire dragon leaving an engine shed:

Nice trains guys. Here are a couple of images from the container terminal over at Monument Valley.
