GET-800x600-001.jpg

A new station with a "park and ride" facility, which hopefully is going to be used when the area develops.

60 degrees?

Nice!

That's anti-grid hall-of-fame territory if that comes to fruition.

Anti-Grid Railroads? I imagine it's related to the Fractional Angle Roads at 3RR. You should post that in the Show Us Your Anti-Grid thread if you haven't already.

I don't see why David shouldn't post his great fractional RR textures here as this is "Show us your railway".

Some EL lines (that's still a railway, right?)

Those last three courtesy of NAM for making EL rail AWESOME to use in a cluttered downtown.  Every one of my cities is Chicago now.

Hey Trixiewinner,

great work you have done!! Where did you get the canalsets from? My ones are green and not brown. ALso do you use other different groundtextures or agricultural buildings?

Im talking about the ones I see here, for example:

@The_Hutt: Great work on the wall & the bridge. That bulge looks a bit strange but AFAIK isn't avoidable in such a setup.

I just wouldn't do that stairway - for a service stairway it is too big and for a pedestrian way there should be  another over- or underpass.

@Simcraft:

Thanks for the compliment. Just had to find out who you mean as David (dedgren) won some more well - deserved trixies than me .. 2.gif

The kanals are Simgoober's Irrigation Ditches. The tree lots are a the SFBT Diagonal Filler Lots and my railway embankment lots that I hope to publish through the SFBT someday (they are more 120+ Lots so it is kind of an endless work).

And other than the CP mod I don't use any other terrain mod, the fields belong just to one of the dozens of custom farms in my plugin folder.

For the elevated rail. How did you get it on top of the road.

Here's one of my latest city...not finished, but chipping away at it with curvy rails like Dedgren mentioned:

burgundytownmay70812118mk7.jpg

I don't know if you can see it well behind the pond, but it's there...next to the overpass and office tower. It's kind of a high-tech industrial park like the ones around MSP here.

More later.
