Am I missing something but where did you get those tram tunnels?

The Tram-in-Avenue tunnels are the RTMT GLR Transitions.

They convert GLR traffic to Subway Traffic, so you link the Subway to the transition puzzle piece. There is also a puzzle piece for Tram-in-Road.

While you are at it, download this. It's the RTMT Interim T-RAM Station, which will give you Tram-in-Avenue stations.

[Hyronymus 56]

Thanks ROFLyoshi. I alreadh hade the T-RAM avenue station, just not the RTMT GLR Transitions. I'm bound to abuse this tunnel piece.

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

Cool, glad I could help.

great tram systems guys

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

After making this topic, I never actually put in some of my trams. Here are some pictures of mine, from my CJ Manningham:

This is the No. 1 Tram from St. Margarita to Renfall. This is the light rail section outside McKinnon Oval. The Tram runs through the downtown, past Cantertown Juntion & past Nunchuk Ground .

This is another picture, the No. 20 Tram runs a loop around the edge of downtowm. The downtown area has the trams elevated above the road & modern glass stations.

Enjoy & please comment!

Nice work Yoshi. But maybe the EL stations are a bit close together? Anyway, I love your choice in tram!

Here is something new from me.

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

They look close because they stand out so much. Thanks

Your new trams I saw in your CJ, & the open subway is aesthetically brilliant with the underground canal. Nice work!

[Larks2242 251]

Great job Retep, your train system looks really good!

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

Post 100!!! Although I got nothing to say...

[Retep Molinari 68]

Thanks Yoshi and Larks!!!!

Hella points for anyone who sees the canal flaw :-)

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

Yeah the subway is at the same level of the canal!!!

@Retep

You gave us a great idea with the usage of Peg's subway in the pic

[Retep Molinari 68]

ROFLyoshi:.... and pointed at it. eeek. Don't tell!

k808j: I'm so glad! I've wanted to use it for a while, and now I had the chance!

[Retep Molinari 68]

By the way, tram lvoers GET THIS BOOK! I jsut got it yesterday and it has brought tons of joy and insight into my life

Street Smart: Streetcars and Cities in the Twenty-first Century, 2nd Ed

I swear this isn't spam!

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

DOUBLE POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, you should put that picture in the 'Berate One Image' thread & see if they pick up on your mistake. Haha.

[Moonraker0 193]

 I hope this doesn't count as resurrecting...my pics of one city are attached.

@Moonraker0

Enjoyed your pics. Maybe someone will create tram stops for the canals. Unfortunantely you can't have different glr and el rail automata selected at the same time.

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but CBC topics can NEVER die, therefore you can bump them all you like. Providing you are putting pics, of course.

[zurrabear 20]

A few random shots of my tram system, nothing systemic here.

Wow, nice natural pics here! Very good, & one of them is also in the 'Show us your Parks!' thread.

trams ystems make my game crash

That's probably happening when you allow a NAM piece to hover over a transit-enabled station.  I didn't understand that for quite a while myself and had frequent crashes for reasons I couldn't fathom. Eventually I saw that stated here explicitly somewhere.  When laying GLR and stations (or any exclusively NAM-based transit network item), you have to be very careful not to let your cursor containing the NAM transit piece to pass over a transit station; even a bus stop will make the game crash I believe. Save your game before you start to build such stuff and save often wile you're doing it.

There's nothing worse than creating something beautiful in-game only to lose the work to a stupid crash. 

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

Yep, save often! You are bound to make it crash (by the way above) at least once.

So I have made a simple circuit loop for the tram, both on streets and on its own. But I cannot get any stations, nor any trams themselves??? Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Do I simply need stations to populate the trams? No stations came with my 2009 NAM, if they did, where are they located?

Thanks so much!

[TekindusT 3,809]

You have several stations in the RTMT T-Ram Interim Stations Pack, available in the STEX; but you'll have to choose only one of them; everything is explained on the readme file. And you can find a street station in the LEX, but I can't remember its exact name.

Sorry if this is a little bit off topic, but nevertheless:

Seeing the latest release from Vester, the VDK GLR Train Mods Vol. 3, my heart almost stopped when I saw that it included the design of the GLR in Bergen, Norway, my hometown. Of course, someone seeing something from their hometowns in-game is not at all mindblowing. However, I found it funny that Vester had taken note of this design as the light rail system of my humble, little hometown is still under construction.

Please allow me to share my excitement with you. This picture is taken from Bergen Light Rail's official blog, and shows one of the trains on yesterday's test run (Can't wait for it to be finished).

Take a bow for Vester and his incredible skills. Thank you. 

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

It's always nice to see a bit of your home town in Sim City. Will love to see it in-game.

@ROFLyoshi: So true, so true..
