Tips for a beginner in Surveyor?

[austinman]

Hello all,

The title says it all, I want to build a route of my own but I sadly do not know almost nothing about Surveyor!
I want to build/create sessions/routes like Port and Odgen Northern because I just love industries and such.

Anyhow, Any tips for me?

Perhaps you could start by going to the top of this forum "Tips and tricks" there are more hints than you can handle for a few days.
And I'm not being sarcastic.

If you want something simple too play with and try changing things just for practice, download my old route "summerland" in 2004.

Ugh I'm so stupid for not seeing that xD


Oh well, thank you very much!

I started by taking an existing route and fiddling around with it to see how it was all put together.

The TRS2004 has some good, simple advice on how to use Surveyor. Perhaps you might begin by doing what it says there - placing a coal mine and a power station then adding scenery to the basic route.
