From Crown city to the Trafford plains

B.C builder

1,260 Views

Hello and welcome back to the Great Trafford Canyon !

Today we'll take the car and make a trip starting from our last stop: Crown city. We'll see a major city: Horsetown, and the south plains also known as "The Trafford plains". This part of the canyon is rather new due to massive fires which destroyed many towns and a lot of forests in the year 1901. Here is Argons, one of many destroyed towns:

But thanks to a lot of investment by the citizens new towns were built.

Well, let's start !

Horsetown:

This city was founded 1903 by the son of Elias Trafford. The name was choosen because the terrain the city is built on was a plain with a lot of wild horses. These horses were used to plow acres and led people through the canyon; some of them were also sold.

Today the city counts 180,000 inhabitants and is still a major trade city.

Northern CBD (unfortunately the picture is very small, I'm sorry I don't know what happened):

Our trip leads us to the Johnsburg plain, a nice small town located 10 miles at the west of Horsetown:

interesting all those above ground power lines somewhat remind me of Canadian cities, Toronto, Edmonton and Vancouver all have buses running off of electric wires over the roads.

lol, Toronto does not have busses running off electric wires. As far as I know we never have.

Yes we do, Toronto has Trolley buses, only that the city is trying to get rid of street cars and trolleys and eventually replace all with buses, take for example the new bus route on Highway 7, with special bus lanes and new modern stations.

Hi, B.C. Builder,

 

Looks cool.  Question for you:  How do you post pictures of your work that are full-sized like yours (not "thumbnails") and without any extraneous stuff at the bottom of the screen -- e.g. the name of the city, date, population, all that stuff?  I can see such a picture from my PC by minimizing the screeen, but how, then, do you snap the picture and post? 

 

Your help would be greatly appreciated,

Mayberrybuilder

Looks nice - only thing I'd say is that if you want 45 degree angle "dirt tracks" the trick of plopping a road inside the bend to smooth the curve doesn't work with dirt tracks SAM - but there are dirt track curves in the rural roads menu with a 45 degree smooth bend in there.

Sorry to have to troll the comments here. Toronto does not have trolley buses. You are on the crack like Rob Ford. Streetcars are not trolley buses because they run on rails.
