A new route

[skidmark22]

My first.. New York to London (and back). No hills, no curves, no switches, no signals. Just wooden trains so in case of a derail, the train will float.

(NO FISHING OFF THE BRIDGE PLEASE)

More like (NO FALLING ASLEEP PLEASE) on the way to and from place to place :hehe:

Looks interesting :wave:

You'll find the built-in wooden track pieces and stations quite matching with the wooden train.

Cheerio,

Wheee !

Ohh Man...I've been waiting for a trans oceanic bridge route across the Atlantic linking Europe to the US. How bout a big long "Chunnel" route from California to Hawaii ?This could be the Guiness book of worlds records, longest Trainz route in baseboards !

Ill take the 5th.....

Uh huh....

So basically, the train goes straight....literally straight, 3,000 miles from New York to London. And no curves or Switches? How you you propose you change tracks?

Its interesting, Ill give you that, but I really Fail to see a purpose of this route, other then boring yourself on a 3,000 mile trip

Plus you bridge needs to be at least 200+ feet tall by 300 feet (the arches I mean) wide so ships can pass under it.

I am glad to see that some seem to get a chuckle out of this. I did mean it for that. :hehe:

That is correct. Straight as an arrow. 3000 miles. No need for curves, no need for switches or signal. No need to change tracks. Just hammer down. I don't get bored. I am entertained by all the ships looking for a way through the bridge. :hehe: If they want bigger arches, they can build them in the ship simulator.

I'm thinking the Masonry Workers Local 117 would love to get that contract!

 

[jadebullet]

That looks like a logistical nightmare.

Looks like they will have to throw a bucket on a rope over the side to keep the boiler topped up.

Hmm...Thomas goes Fishing? Salt water in the boilers? That can't be good....

Ocean Route

You could also lay invisible track below the water level, and drive ships.
Or elevate invisible track in the air, and fly planes over the route.
