It's not much but it's the railroad platform of my hometown Mangalia / Romania. By the time I grew up most of it seldom saw a consist. I'm using google maps and my good knowledge of the area but am not sticking to every little detail....just want to recreate the feeling of the areas I find interesting. Furthermore, the route is a combination of yesterdays rails with today's surroundings....an what if the industries it was supporting would not have collapsed.
From the train station, the rail cuts through the side of the town to split first near a rugby field. 1 line continues ahead right past where I grew up and ends at a cement factory (?! i think that's the word)
The other line turns past the field and the local cemetery, and behind what is today a small navy musem it splits again.
1 line goes left and under the bridge to serve the military navy outpost with supplies, fuel mostly, and ends in a port which used to build and repair military vessels 30-40 years ago.
The other line goes around the military station while still serving several warehouses. Along it you will find 1 station which servers only the military where conscripts and goods were dropped off. The line continues to pass over the Mangalia lake and a marina to then split again.
1 line goes to the Dawoo Mangalia naval shipyard which currently builds about 2 "giant boats" every 3 years or so. It's a mamoth industry and currently feeds the city.
The other line goes past the shipyard and advances on the man made pier to end at the local port where goods, cement, bitum and fuel facilities are set up.
I have not played around with the game for years and it's a slow process of finding the right objects, splines, and coming up with the best solutions, that is why in some pictures you may see random stuff laying around
Furthermore, I wasn't much of a route builder before either
but I'm determined on seeing this project finished.
If you liked the description, i recommend you look the area up on google maps, I find it fascinating.
The map, roughly 25km of rail from one end to the other.
The station from both ends
The only area that is somewhat decent right now:
and from now on, under heavy construction with tons of object just laying around....the first splitting:
the second split:
That's it, everything else on the map is just rails with a few buildings here and there.
Also, big shout out to Okhiu here on the forum who helped me set up my Trainz again with tons of content! thanks man!
