Building rail in the real world | NIMBY Rails gameplay

[@elzar760]

The families of 11 passengers continue to push for answers as to the whereabouts of their loved ones who vanished after the Colonel pressed a mysterious delete button and the train they were on disappeared from our reality. We hope to bring you updates on this tragic story as soon as more information can be found.

[@panzerofthelake506]

What do you mean? They never existed!

[@humorpalanta]

Corona took them :D

[@johnathankain8033]

This could be new short series "Colonel Fixes Britain's Railways"

[@humorpalanta]

You are going overly optimistic with that word. Fixes. Yeeeaaahhh. My thoughts are more or less on the contrary. He could fuck it up even more :D

[@TheCriminalViolin]

Okay, this sounds like a game I've been dreaming of for a hell of a long time. If only we'd get this, but with city planning/development too, and other forms of transit, like buses. Now that'd be pure perfection for me!

[@muffels6410]

This sounds like a game i’ll have to get

[@Baleur]

140 dollars to go from St Gregory's Catholic High School to Widnes. 14 km. YEP THAT PRICE IS REASONABLE xD xD

[@Galerak1]

It is a little bit steep that. I can walk to St. Gregs from here in about an hour, I'd rather do that than spend £140 on a train. I'm pretty sure a return ticket on the bus is only around £2.50ish lol

[@Vanderpool0312]

I'm so happy NIMBY is finally launching

[@UnePintade]

As long as it's Not In My BackYard

[@Harve6988]

Finally someone playing this game without just rebuilding what exists at the minute!

[@aircooledorion]

This must be the game that the route planners use for HS2 except for the taxpayer actually pays for it

[@OrangeNash]

The one big problem I have with Nimby rails is that it has no concept of height. You can build straight across mountains or oceans like they aren't there. Perhaps HS2 had the same shortcoming?

[@MrSinger187]

Can't wait for this to drop. first thing I'm going to do is to attempt to make a route of New York to Cape Town via Moscow.

[@mathewperring]

In case anyone is wondering yesterday they did an update where you can speed things to run faster, without being able to see the map and the game is much less wait for money to build up over 24hrs of real world time to do anything. Makes a huge difference

[@benrgrogan]

I imagine I am going to spend a lot of time playing this game

[@MrMo0nlight]

parks seem like great places to build some railroad

[@mj-tk3gs]

Nice, I like the fact thats its using real world maps. Would like to see Colonel re-visit this every so often to at least show us how it's workig out for you.

[@spartan117zm]

Yessss Colonel I was hoping you’d play this. More please! Also maybe play with the population layer off for the most part? It’s a bit difficult to see what’s going on really. 17:25 - turn off “Decal Color: Use Line Color” to select what color the decal is

[@jazzygeofferz]

Knotty Ash needs to have transport links so people can commute there to work in the Jam Butty Mines. Dicky Mint might throw you a few quid to help with the infrastructure.

[@natgrant1364]

There certainly are some amusing names for places in Britain.

[@isaactimmins8959]

it'll be a great help to the diddymen

[@ajaxengineco]

I love that you made the opening gambit to relay the 1830 alignment if the Liverpool & Manchester Railway, going via Warrington. In the constantly viaducted fashion of the London & Blackwall. Top wheeze. The L&M was later absorbed into the London & North Western Rly, reflected in your naming of Nort West Train Service.

[@Leebobs1983]

You literally built through my back garden. NIMBY!

[@GretchenDawntreader]

this strikes me as something that if you go off and play other things for a few days, since it's mostly conceptual and numbers tweaking, you're going to return after a week and really say..."Now last time I was doing...what exactly?"

[@WWarped1]

'Colonel Failure reverses the Beeching Cuts' a new series

Not Googly maps....Open Street View

[@moparacker]

Leave The Meadowlands alone! (the evidence needs time to decompose)

[@matsv201]

To get around the refund problem do as the local train provider in my country does. Define a late train as 1 hour for local lines and 2 hours for express lines. Then you can set a totaly unrealistic time table and just say "Yes, but the train was only 105 minutes behind scheduall.. its still 15 minutes faster than what we consider late. Then raise the booking fee and say "well, you still got the ticket booked, you can´t get your booking fee back"

[@danyegli379]

Concept is so cool! Can’t wait to see what you will do with it!

[@Gnrnrvids]

I've added to my wishlist. Looks to be a great little game and deserves to do well.

[@patrickhaller669]

awesome game, would love to see more of that

[@papasmurfette007]

Ha! Little did I know, when I posted a reply to the battleplan yesterday asking for this game, that you'd deliver in just a few hours. Talk about service! ;)

[@natgrant1364]

26:00 There's a place called Clock Face?

[@Jericho398]

[@wimpie031]

Was about to leave to an other video, happy you convinced me to stay ;)

[@rjds1800]

This reminds me of a very obscure ms dos game was called Railway Runner and only featured mainland Britain. Came out in 1994 was made by a guy in Nottingham. This is like a hugely updated and modern version of this. I must find it.

[@devonchapman4927]

Hope there will be a full series on this

[@spudgun1978]

​@Colonel Failure It's "Huff Green", Born and bread round there, so am local :)

[@Kaweechelche]

Yeah, I think you found a new game for me to get addicted to... Nice find Colonel!

[@hostilepancakes]

Having read the description and not watched the video yet, the fact that too many crossings will make your rail line unviable sounds a lot like the Terrain Alignment Collision from Transport Fever 2 (and previous games). In that case, this will be fun to watch.

[@vallarian9690]

As a local to this area, you had it right first Hough Green = Huff Green :)

[@TRNHardy]

The colonel just crated the ready priest express from Liverpool city center to the chatholic school. The boys at that school just vacated quick shape.

[@coderbdev]

I love the real world aspect of this!

[@KelseyThornton]

Those poor sad people in Widnes :) Looks like a fun little game - looking forward to your "Peninsula" series :D

[@seanhenry2921]

This looks fascinatingly complicated!

[@nielsmallant2710]

This looks really promising. But I wish the developer changes the train model to something more realistic or more boring so it fits the style of the esthetic of the game more.

[@Galerak1]

You were right first time, Hough Green is pronounced 'huff' green.

[@cabe_bedlam]

"Ohhh very nice indeed." Suits you, Sir :)

[@Northlander74]

Does the map not show the real rail routes like it shows real roads??? Just build the track over the real rail perhaps?

[@malcolmsleight9334]

No, the map does not show the real rail routes per se. There are gaps in the map infrastructure where the rails currently go. You can build the actual rail lines using those gaps, or go your own way.

[@isaactimmins8959]

@@malcolmsleight9334 he even used some of the existing freight line in the video between Widnes & Warrington,

[@madhatter1964]

Will be getting this next week ! Thanks for covering it

[@pschweiz]

Show us more of this, please! Anyways, added to the wish list already.

[@Love2Cruise]

So I guess my San Fran to Honolulu bridge in TpF2 isn't gonna make an appearance here.

[@peterdunlop7691]

Liverpool to Manchester was the world's first intercity railway, in real life.

[@papasmurfette007]

Do you know Colonel if the tram service tracks can actually 'snap' to existing roads, or is it just more like a dedicated light rail system only?...

[@colonelfailure]

They do both.

[@papasmurfette007]

@@colonelfailure Excellent thanks! So bus services could even be modelled that way. Looking forward to it...

[@callum2277]

Look very interesting can't wait to see what kind of crazy railways people build. The catchment areas for the stations feel a bit small though more like metro stations than big inter-city train stations.

[@colonelfailure]

You can link multiple stations to give the feel of being a proper terminus. Underground and tram connections are also a possibility.

[@callum2277]

@@colonelfailure Ah ok that makes sense smaller lines feeding a big central station. looks very promising can't wait to test it out. Any limitations on bridges/tunnels other than cost? can you build your own channel tunnel or Gibraltar bridge?

[@benrgrogan]

Having looked into this for a transport planning masters, the Catchment looks about right for walking/cycling. Obviously, the real world would have other modes like cars, busses etc to take passengers to the station but that would vary very drastically depending on the Desnisty, country incomes etc, so might be too complicated for a videogame to model.

[@andybrockbank3027]

You could bulldoze Goodison Park and that would make you popular - in my home at least.

[@papasmurfette007]

I presume you weren't so impressed when the Colonel mentioned bulldozing Bill Shankley's statue though...

[@METALFREAK03]

100 billion for a single high-speed line that is only going about 84 miles.

I want to build lots of rural lines , so i can shut them down for no good reason. Will wet leaves stop trains?

What an amazing game concept.

[@airspeed_alive]

UK, Base price should be £100 and £10 per km 😂 definitely getting this game 😁

[@DoctorMagdaki]

Trains will go as fast as they can? So they're all driven by you then? :) how often do they emergency brake?

[@oakenshield6]

Thames Ditton to Ulan Bator via two trips round L’Arc de Triomphe. With trams. Also, if you used just tunnels, could you redo the Tube?

[@colonelfailure]

If so inclined, yes.

[@andy27091979]

Is it possible to switch to "Endless Money"-Mode during a game?

Yup. I did the Vatican earlier.

Was already sold on this game having seen some of Skyes videos on it, and now I'm even more convinced. Pretty sure this will quickly become my favourite game, it looks fantastic.
