Seeing Red - 🚆 Rail Route 🚄 EA Let's Play S2 E2

[@SumSouuthernSugar]

The developers chose the right guy for the tutorials. Well done!

[@MasterHellish]

We kinda bumped into each other. Soon I am looking at updating them as there are coming changes

[@Steevee5k]

That little misshap with the freighter could have been handled a little smoother, just by right-klicking on the Brighton-platform-signal, once the train has passed it. Then the track will change colour to white and you can manipulate the switch.

[@niels_m_h]

The coach yards are difficult to design your stations for, but very rewarding when it works. The biggest challenge is fully automating them though, they require a lot of room on the map for that.

[@MasterHellish]

I meant having a think about this one and I don't think there's room for me to fully automate that there I might end up using coch yards at a different station in the future

[@niels_m_h]

@@MasterHellish I'm looking forward to see your setups, I've had lots of fun with them myself.

[@ArjanSchaeffer]

totally realistic, rail crew removing, building and then replacing a whole additional rail line to let one badly routed train through.. 9/10 for realism... if only it could work that way. Good show.

[@MasterHellish]

Haha. Thanks

[@railroute]

Watching you playing it smootly on 15x speed on that simple network is so satisfying!

[@HollandHiking]

You also should have got the coach yard. This enables train from the coach yards and it will get a lot of advanced experience. I commented just before you made the decision.Make sure ot keep at least 3 blocks between platform and coach yard, to allow automation later. You will need an autosignal and a sensor. You placed it to close to the platform.

[@MasterHellish]

As I don't have the automated sensors right now I just put it nearby I can easily move it later which I will do in a come in episode. Thank you very much for your comment and your feedback

[@Sarron__]

I can't understand why you didn't try to place the coach yard on the other side of the station

[@ianmillard1604]

Only 3 minutes in, but I think moving the auto signal at Cumbernauld to before the junction to Easterhouse might be easier when you get the freight trains come through

[@MasterHellish]

I don't like that easterhouse junction. I might even get rid of it. Thanks for the comment

[@HollandHiking]

You should have added a second freight platform in Cumbernauld. It would speed up your experience.

[@MasterHellish]

I think I'm going to plan dad another line in somewhere else and a second coach yard to try and get things as automated as possible rather than having one-off contracts.

[@BillSchultz70]

Not sure I understand the auto signals as I see you clicking them an awful lot. Doesn't seem to "auto" :P

[@MasterHellish]

They automatically change all the switches between the signal and the selected section. Later you combine them with sensors to add more automation. Check out my tutorial series for more information.

[@BillSchultz70]

@@MasterHellish Yeah, I have been watching your tutorials. Great stuff. I ended up buying the game and spent way too long playing it last night and was late to work this morning. :P Thanks for the response!
