Futuristic Shots

I'm not sure how many Trainz users create futuristic routes, but if there are some of you out there, please post some screens of your work.

Here's a shot from something I've been doing over the last couple of days:

It's a MagLev system crossing a cold desert on a distant planet, though I haven't decided when or where yet. If there is some interest, I'll post more screens in.

Andrew :)
 
No interest so far, but here's some more screens:

The 7 millionth Wonder of the Natural Universe - the mysterious purple lakes!

A 4-car MagLev train passes the line's summit.

An 8-car MagLev train cruises through the landscape.

The same 8-car unit flys over one of the many bridges on the line.

Just to keep it going:

Trains on the passing loop.

An 8-car set on a steep descent

Another bridge shot.

An 8-car set snakes downhill at speed.

Post in your thoughts

Andrew :)

P.S. BTW, My plans for a new MagLev train will not be a reality until I've had a few weeks/months practice in Gmax. It's more complex than I predicted!

You are also on MARS? I haven't seen you ... :D :D

Here are some sample pictures from my MARS 2339 Map...

Is that futuristic enough?? :rolleyes:

These Mars routes look really cool. Can we get them anywhere?

Thank you all for the interesting...

Yes, my route is on the DLS, look for kuid 190444:900472 (title: Mars 2339 Final V3) and download the pack with the automatic sessions. I have 4 Monorails on the route with about 10 stations (including a "space station")

Enjoy it and if someone find a problem, i like to hear it... :D

Btw. it is designed for TRS2004 and most of the content is on the DLS, the others are not important, just some foliage. In TRS2006 there is a problem with the dome structure, but you can start it....

BTW: Asser, if you're out there, don't bother sending the KUID for that monorail train. I found them, downloaded them, but they are not compatible with the MagLev track (too thin) :( . I'd still like the KUIDs of some of those wonderful buildings though.

Andrew :)

Sorry for late respond, but there was a traffic jam on the highway from MARS :D

The monorails are not compatible with the maglev track, but there is a special track for the monorail... try to download the monorail demo 2 layout (kuid 31293:678418544) from JFE. Then you have all the tracks and switches for the monorail. But look very carefully for connecting the tracks properly, otherwise you can have this problem:

The buildings are not solid, you have to use the DOME-parts from mrtrain on the DLS (Download pack). Unfortunalety, they are not TRS06 compatible, therefore this map is best looking in TRS04

Best Regards
Asser

PS: excuse my bad english, i hope you understand it anyway....
 
I've just got back into Trainz after a 4/5 month break (guilty as charged). Anyway, I thought i'd attempt to get this thread going again with some new shots. The route is around 50 complete boards at the moment and rising...

I know their not the best quality but it takes some getting used to after a long time out. All comments and criticisms are welcome...enjoy!

Andrew :)
 
I guess the future looks pretty bleak!

I guess the future looks pretty bleak!:hehe: I love the concept but wouldn't want to live there!

Nice Shots!
 
I like how, in the future, apparently the engineers have decided it's okay, nay...desirable to unnecessarily loop track around buildings, and cross itself numerous times. Must be the inexpensive cost of the building materials and lack of gravity in general....

Ed:D
 
Maglev isn't really futuristic though is it:) I mean look at the Shanghia express, Maglev trains:D

Fair enough, but there isn't any futuristic motive power available apart from the monorail trains shown in earlier posts which are EXTREMLY slow, and my skills in gMax prevent me from making anything :) Anyway the MagLev trains look futuristic enough...i think. Thnx for the criticism!

More pics on the way soon...hopefully of better quality :)

Very interesting thread, thank you for starting it. It is quite reasonable to believe that mass transit would be required on a planet with a hostile environment. A plus in modeling is that once you have a dome then many current assets could be used inside the living space.

Question, how do you handle the train entering the dome? An airlock?

Thanks again,

William
