Mystery Map Challenge #2 - Help unravel the code

[Tony_Hilliam]

Challenge 1 has been successfully completed (It took a little longer than the planned 24 hours, but I think things are warming up in readiness for Challenge #2).


Before we move on, for Challenge 1 thanks to Pencil42 for decoding the anagram auran.com/TRS2006 and to opus722 for identifying the 11 new routes that shipped with TRS2006. And of course congratulations to -Basti- for correctly identifying the correct order of stops.


A look at the updated mystery map reveals the TRS2006 Branchline stations, plus 5 lines named B, C, D, E and F.


Your challenge is to correctly identify the names of each line, exactly as they appear on the original map.


I'm sure there will be lots of ideas that are very close to the correct answer, but to be fair, we will need the same words, same spelling (including spaces) and same order as shown on our original (well hidden) map.


The person to correctly identify the name of any of the 5 Lines first will win themselves a $20 voucher to be spent on the Simulator Central online store. (i.e. 5 lines, so 5 x $20 Shop Vouchers to be won)


To submit your ideas you will want to list:


Line B: <Your guess here>
Line C: <Your guess here>
Line D: <Your guess here>
Line E: <Your guess here>
Line F: <Your guess here>

Clues will be issued once you've had some time to figure out what might be going on...

Best of luck...

This will be a lot easier now!

Line B-TRS2006 Main
Line C-TRS2006 Features
Line F-TRS2004 Routes

 

[PerRock]

Line C: SP3/UTC routes
Line B: TRS2004 routes
Line D: TC routes
Line E: TS2009/TS2010 routes
Line F: TS12 routes

But I already have a lifetime FCT, can I get some DLC instead?

[Pencil42]

UTC had 6 routes, not 5, right? Biriburra Yards, Banks Heath, East Coast Sunlander, Robe River Iron, Alcopulse Railroad, and Blue Sky Steel?

 

[boyerm25]

Those are the scenarios though - the respective routes are Outback Australia, Banks Heath, Queensland, Robe River Iron, and the last 2 are both on City and country USA.

Line B: Dark Green Line
Line C: Light Green Line Branch #1
Line D: Light Green Line Branch #2
Line E: Light Green Line Branch With Weird Stops
Line F: Blue Line

This isn't correct, but does give a small clue that could help.

Line C: SP3/UTC routes
Line B: TRS2004 routes
Line D: TC routes
Line E: TS2009/TS2010 routes
Line F: TS12 routes

Good work Peter. The prizes this time are $20 vouchers for the store - I have made that bold in the OP.
Regarding your guesses:
Line C: No
Line B: No, but on the right track.
Line D: No, but close (read the instructions again)
Line E: No, but close (read the instructions again)
Line F: No

 

[oknotsen]

Thanks for pointing out the prize has changed, making it interesting for us lifetime FCT holders to participate .

Here is my guess:

Line B: Auran/N3V main line
Line C: TRS2004 branch
Line D: TC 3 branch
Line E: TS2009 branch
Line F: TS2010 branch

 

[boyerm25]

This isn't correct, but does give a small clue that could help.

Really? I put that in mostly as a joke

 

[Pencil42]

Those are the scenarios though - the respective routes are Outback Australia, Banks Heath, Queensland, Robe River Iron, and the last 2 are both on City and country USA.

Ah, OK - so then the guess would be:

Line B: Trainz PC / Windows (but what would the individual dots be - the DLC routes? Classic Cabon City, Murchison 2, Settle and Carlisle? What would the 4th be? Treez?)
Line C: UTC branch: Outback Australia, Banks Heath, Queensland, Robe River Iron, City and Country USA - except that got a flat 'No' - so maybe DLC locos?
Line D: Trainz Classics branch: Harlem Line, Metropolis, Settle and Carlisle
Line E: TS2010 routes: (but I'm not sure which of the 49 routes showing as built-in in my copy of TS2010 are new to that version....)
Line F: Trainz Mac routes: (no idea)

 

[boyerm25]

TS Mac has 52 routes - its TS2010 plus TC 1 & 2.

Thanks for pointing out the prize has changed, making it interesting for us lifetime FCT holders to participate .

Here is my guess:

Line B: Auran/N3V main line
Line C: TRS2004 branch
Line D: TC 3 branch
Line E: TS2009 branch
Line F: TS2010 branch

Line B: Close... but sorry, not correct.
Line C: No
Line D: Yes - but a couple of Facebook posters beat you to this one.
Line E: TS2009 branch - apart from a capital B, 100% correct. I think we can award the prize.
Line F: TS2010 branch - correct again

Congratulations Oknotsen on winning 2 x $20 Simulator Central Vouchers

So, it appears we have line B and C still to name. There is a small clue in the earlier post by boyerm25 that may just help with B.

Line C is going to be a real challenge

 

[behemoth14]

Line B: TRS2004 Branch
Line C: Trainz Driver Branch

 

[Tony_Hilliam]

Line B: TRS2004 Branch
Line C: Trainz Driver Branch

Good try, and not that far away from the correct answer.

The next clue is to look at the background coloured Zones...

 

[oknotsen]

Line B: Close... but sorry, not correct.
Line C: No
Line D: Yes - but a couple of Facebook posters beat you to this one.
Line E: TS2009 branch - apart from a capital B, 100% correct. I think we can award the prize.
Line F: TS2010 branch - correct again

Congratulations Oknotsen on winning 2 x $20 Simulator Central Vouchers

WooooT, I actually won !

Thank you, Tony

. Happy you didn't make an issue of the lowercase/uppercase B. Much appreciated.
Looking forward to the details about using these vouchers .

For the "getting exposure" part behind this contest, I am happy someone on Facebook beat me to one answer .

I guess this takes me out of the current round of the competition.
Good luck everyone with winning the last 2 vouchers :wave:!

 

[Tony_Hilliam]

With some further input from fans on Facebook, we are very close to discovering the last two tracks in Zone 1. For hints check this response https://www.facebook.com/TrainzSimulator.

There are two more $20 Simulator Central vouchers to be won by supplying the correct name of Lines B and C.

Clue for Branch C = Rail Gone

Just for fun, try to name the first four stops on Line B (which should also help you guess the correct name).

 

[oknotsen]

Another shot

Serious, Saturday and nobody is giving this a try?

K, than I'm giving it another shot:
Line B: Simulator Central Main

What about 'My First Trainz Set for 'C' ;-)
