Repurposing Abandoned Railways | Transport Fever 2 - The UK Mods Series |

If the viaduct looked gorgeous before, now it looks even better. Regarding the yards, I'm happy to see 'em growing and I can't wait to see all the yards built and a fuly functional network. Cheers!

The country roads you placed in the goods yard should have player ownership on... to prevent buildings, and the AI converting them to city roads/building :) Cheers, Stephen

player ownership does not prevent the game towns building alongside them, however buildings will only build along town roads and not country roads, so player ownership can prevent town roads and thus buildings, but wont prevent buildings on town roads (which can be annoying for making private roads within towns)

Transport Fever 2 has waypoints actually... its had them for years! In the railway building section it has its own entire tab, like track, signals, buildings, etc. Unlike signals, trains do not stop at waypoints. There are invisible waypoint mods on the workshop that you may like to use, however you need to zoom out and click on their icon to delete them, so are not ideal to be used around lots of other icons like signal-heavy areas.

Hey gadget! Regarding the freight yard on 14 minutes you could delete that track a little back and slowly bank down the hill to the road, It wouldn't have to have any live traffic but would be more aesthetical!

Nice to see Brakevan's join your consists, If you're wondering if they're realistic, they quite are!, Back in the Steam Era of railways, Brakevans were commonly used at the ends of Freight trains, they acted as extra braking power from the back, since many wagons back in the day did not include automatic braking / vacuum braking aperatus, Brakevans kept the train under control and houses the Guard for the train. Trains without a Brakevan run the risk of being unable to slow down going downhill due to all the weight, or worse becoming a runaway if they were to brake free from the locomotive, I hope this helps!

Also handy in manually operated reverse loop point operations too.

Houses right next to gasometers would not be unusual for pre Health and Safety you know.

You can use signals as waypoints

[@Drruuiipp]

[@Dot-Steve]

[@DevonGeorge85]

What mod do you use to create your goods yards?
