    The central station in Cologne. It also houses the main underground station where most of the lines converge

    Cologne also features a direct link from the airport to the city centre. It starts above ground through the suburbs then joins the underground system near the city centre

    I really like how the suburban (residential) neighborhoods look in this update and your railways are fantastic (ala Nardo69).

    Whoa man!!!! Cologne is beautiful I like the time you put on the cricket court, football stadium. Great work with the posters. Most importantly the homes and streets. You took some damn good time about it.

    I really like the industrial buildings you used. I'm in the process of downloading some more as I build a new region.

    LOL, I don't think I'd like to live in one of those houses next to the nuclear power plant, but then again, I'll bet they're really cheap! 4.gif

    Nice blend of houses, Will! Mattb325's creations are perfect for making great looking suburbs like yours since they're pretty easy to grow and come in a variety of colors and configurations. 4.gif

    Ah, industrial! Always a great sight to see as a basis for an update. Even a better sight is the amount of custom buildings you've downloaded. That's what I just really like to see in an industrial district. The railroad lines fit in well with the large factories, and the additional lines that branch off the main route is a realistic touch.

    Great update of suburbia Cologne. What kind of tree mods did you use for your streets? It's the perfect mod for a very European setting.

    Nice bridges, both of them are similar in style but still different in many ways. Also, nice range of houses once again - I see a lot of good looking variety in there. Keep it up, Will!
