At the rate you seem to be expanding this, it will soon be as big as Russia itself!
Nope, it runs to exactly 9 boards arranged 3x3. That's a bit over a mile and a quarter square, or about 1,000 acres or not much more than a couple of decent sized farms. Tiny!
Squeezed into it are three towns, a couple of villages, several rail served factories, a port, a turf strip mine, three lumber/sawmill industries and a broad gauge interchange.
It's built like a model railway, not a real railway. The track meanders around all over the place never taking the shortest direct route and speed limits are low, so there is actually a LOT of running on it and it takes a fair while to get from one end to the other (EDIT: I just placed kilometer markers on the route - it is just under 5km end to end, or almost exactly 3 miles!
) and I think it could produce some quite involved sessions, that's the plan anyway.
Now, since this is a screenshots thread...
... I invented the name 'Sharkino' in tribute to RED_SHARK and all the help he has given the project, then discovered that there really is a Russian town called Sharkino. Since the real place is a small town surrounded by trees I let the name remain, but there is no intention that it represents the real place...
