Bon voyage to Mr. Johansen!

Great pictures!

@Ggamgus: Il m’a dit de te dire ‘merci beaucoup’. Which is probably not grammatically correct or anything but oh wel :)

Nice story line and transportation networks. Looking forward to more! Maybe you need to give those sims that have trouble finding a seat on the train another alternative: Highways!

@Texan: I didn’t expect to hear anything else from a Texan ;) There is a highway running just on the other side of the hills. The problem in many European is, is that highways are even more crowded, and finding any place to park is merely impossible.

I like the S-TOG design, very slick

@Forthwall: Thanks! :D

Like how roads are realistic

@Moderncitylover26: That’s what I tried to achieve :)

Looking really good! People on slower computers and/or internet connections would probably appreciate if you changed your images to .JPEG format, though. The PNGs can take forever to load.

@IndianaJoe: Thanks, I indeed didn’t really think of that ever before as my internet is quite quick. From this updaye on I will publish everything in a .JPG format. Thanks for you advice!

Some Scottish-Gaelic music on the background

:D

In this update we visit the small village of Bærby. Inhabitants: barely 3.000. Situatian: just at the end of a mountain lake, right where the river Bær begins. It is crossed by a national road, T19 which runs East-West trough the province of Tissenfjell. Almost parallel to the road runs the Tissenjernban, one of the highest railways in Heimen. A warm welcome to Bærby!

A few kilometers down the lake shore is the hamlet of Helsøy, part of Bærby Kommune

The village center is small and situated around Jernbansplas, Railway Square

While the center is located on the shore the village it self is located up the hills

Its major tourist attraction, and reason of existence is the Festning, the old castle located on a rock overlooking the lake.

Very neatly designed little area. I like the close ups but I also really like how you added the landscape overview. I always love to see the context of people's work and not just close up. Good work.

I love the lake, and the pic with the castle, makes me imagine a time before those roads, and mighty battles being fought!
