Nice and logic layout for the railways. the switches are placed where they need to be, no unnecessary  collection of switches. Good work!  

I just would have a standard rail between the passenger station and the railyard for passing freight trains and to keep the people on the platform a bit further away from the freight cars. 

And I really like the layout of that rural buddybud - bridge with the "island" in the middle! 

Keep the great work!

Take care and make backups!

A wonderful "sunken" railway, rooker1! Great station!

Hello all,

Time for some replies,


Snaper, thanks for stopin in and it's good you like the last update.
flame1396, nice to see a new name.  I thought the parking in behind the buildings was a good idea.  Glad you think so also.
thundercrack83, good to hear that my MD gives some pleasure.  Hope to hear from you again.
patfirefghtr, Hi, how are you, and no need for any apologies, you are all caught up now, just don't ever miss another update again......hehehe .  As fro picture 8.0, is it the park you like or the japanese bats.  If it's the park, I am doing my best to include more and more parks in my cities.  Sometimes I forget them!
kimcar, thanks for the comment.  That's the one I'm looking for.  I try to make my cites as realistic as possible.
bat, Thanks alot, I thought a sunken railway would look alot nicer.  Glad some one else agrees.

Nardo69, Now I skipped you on purpose.  I saw your last update with the rail lines and rail yard.  I really like how you set it all up.  Great work.  As you already know I am going for realism.  I tried my best to make it very logical and not too much.  It is very easy to get carried away with rail lines and switches.  So when you say there should be one common line for frieght and passenger....this is what I have, but you are suggestting it should be between the passenger station and the freight station.  I have obviously posted some pics.  Have a look a tell me what you think, please. Or if anyone else has any suggestions, they are always welcomed here.

I guess I could move the frieght cars down one square and put the new line there.  Is this what you mean?

Great new pictures of the downtown and railway!

[Nardo69]

Sorry for not posting earlier ... 

Yes - that is what I meant, move the freight yard one tile away.

Anyway that is one of the best big railway station I saw until now! 

Good layout on these innercity avenues. And I like the Beton wall at the avenue tunnel - nice ugly ...

[thundercrack83]

Outstanding update, Robin! I love that tunnel coming into the city with the walls behind it, and the baseball stadium looks fantastic! Keep up the excellent work, my friend!

[Pat]

LoL well i did miss a few updates again Robin sowwies RL...  BUT wow that railyard is a beauty and i really enjoyed the rail underpass... BTW yes its the parks i enjoyed... see you next time - pat

[kimcar]

  Sorry for a late comment , my eyes still looking the pic 9.1 . I love it . Look so real. for sure the other are nice too ...but this one is my favorite.

[rooker1]

Hello all,

Replies,

bat, always nice to see you, glad you like it.
Nardo69, (Bernhard),   no apologies neccessary my friend.  I always say showing up soon or later is better than not showing up at all.  I moved the line over one square and next update I'll show you a pic.  As for the rail way station, I have a plan to do another one much larger and based off google earth pics.  The wall I used over the tunnel is by Marrast.  I always wanted to use it but never found a good opportunity until then.  See you soon.
thundercrack83, nice to hear from you.  As I said to Bernhard, I finally found a chance to use Marrast lot.  I think it turned out perfect.  I too like the baseball stadium bat itself, but I think I am going to relot it in LE.  I don't like all the grass.  You'll have to keep stoppin by to see it in one of the next updates.
patfirefghtr, no sowwies needed just show up on time next time......hehehe, just kidding.  The rial yard was a lot of work and I am very proud of how it turned out, and I'm glad you like it as well.  I have to keep that in mind about the parks, I always forget them.....hmmmm.  See you soon.
kimcar, Better late than never my friend.  I think if you liked that pic you'll like thie pics in this update, I have just about finished that area and that's what this update shows.

Think about this,

[tooheys]

Very impressive. I like what I see, especially the RR.
