English Teamwork 2 planning and discussion

[Sascha Claus]

Hi,

My apologies, I reserved yesterday and today for building, but ... I had no time to finish anything to upload today.

there are still some unreserved days ahead and I’m busy with another teamwork. As nobody else has booked time, you still have a few days to upload your version.

PS: sc-english.nfz seems to be missing a vehicle and chris-BR-DMU3.nfz seem to be missing altogether. Could you upload the latest user-graphics files from your end to the drive?

On my next building date, promised!

Hello,

It seems like EN453 has not uploaded their version after building for a few days. I will not upload anything until the end of my building period, but the changes will be easy to paste in. I look forward to the new version

’n Ahmdchen,
in the meanwhile, I’ve updated the map with the approximate borders of Whales (see file Map-2024-Sep.png). The borders of of the orphaned Otčina are not exact as well.

And I’m looking forward to the new version as well.

I only build some basic lines which will get "character" later. Dont expect anything yet.
The Network will be uploaded soon.I have been busy with my "real" Project as i have Internet Connection for Openrailwaymap and Earth now.

Btw: I think about making "Whales" an open access Country where anyone else can also build. How about that?

Btw: I think about making "Whales" an open access Country where anyone else can also build. How about that?

how would this work? And how would this work with cross-border traffic?

And regarding the topic, what do you think about th following arrangement:

IC40A from your Capital – Ironwood – Castle Douglas – Cumnock – Clydeshire Airport (ClAp)
IC40B from your Capital – Ironwood – Castle Douglas – Cumnock – southeast
IC40C from Cumnock – southeast

This would connect your capital and Ironwood directly to my airport; the fastest way from your capital to my capital (Clydesgow) would be via Oban and the high-speed line. All routes hourly with diesel locomotives, so that every section is served half-hourly by alternating routes. Or maybe just one hourly route from your Capital to Castle Douglas?

IC4 from Clydesgow would go further west to the coast. During summertime it would be filled with Clydeshirans on their way to a seaside holiday.

(There are additional IR4 and IR40 parallel to IC4 and IC40, which are stopping more frequently. These might terminate at the border or continue into Whales.)

Hello both of you,

Despite having 15 years of experience in BAHN I still underestimate the time it takes to make something work flawlessly. I will need until tomorrow at around lunch before uploading - I had hoped to upload this afternoon.

It is your country, you can do what you want with it. But at the moment I have a million and one projects in Montspoor (my area), so I'll stay there for the foreseeable future.

Sascha and EN453: How would you like a night train from Coates via Clydesgow to the Capital of Whales and maybe further on to the beaches? I (Montspoor Railways) would be more than happy to provide the wagons - I need to use the repainted Talgo Trenhotel for something

@Sascha:

That´s nice planned! Agree with it. You can build the lines in if you want. That´s how i thought about the "open access". Cross border lines are maybe excluded. But in the state, feel free do add some ideas. Just put info points next to them. That may boost my lacking creativity

But theres one thing: I want my state mostly electrified. In the future, there may be also some branchlines with BEMU or hydrogen powered trains. So there has to be a locomotive change at the border. For the ICE TD they may have to go to the "downtime management" in some abandoned port yard
And then replace them with ICE -T...

It´s okay, no problem.

I like night trains, so your´re welcome.
