Quick reply, gotta get back to work. I suspect someone is confusing track pieces with miles. I've completed the connections (too late) in 1905, at 8,616 pieces which is only 4308 miles. I could have reduced it slightly, but the only problem was not having enough money in the first 5 years to lay the...

Hi Ruler, Now that's odd, even with that layout you should have used 8000 pieces of track! The only difference with my layout, was more through the middle, which would use slightly more track but not significant. By all cities I meant all that MUST be connected (6). I always start from Harwan. I did...

Interesting Gumboots, but the oil levels were never low. Typically (when breaking down) they were 91, 95, 89, 88, 77, 88 and 77% in examples I wrote down. Engine age,, from 1 - 10 years, only 1 example here was more than 5 years old! Hence why I thought it have something to do with the lack of visit...

I very interesting idea, and one I've had years ago. We have more sunlight than any other country, and less rain to match! I had also wondered if it was possible to come up with a similar futuristic engine for RRT3? Would be very cheap to run.
BTW Byron Bay is lovely, must visit again some day.

I've had a look at this in the editor. First I realised that given 30 years, you have 9000 lengths of track to connect all cities. It takes 8500 pieces to actually do it, although I suspect someone (Ruth?) found a method that used slightly less track. At the least this means only 500 pieces to spare...

Nine years later... I've tried this twice, and am up to 1896. It simply isn't possible to connect all cities by then!!!!? How the dickens did someone manage that? I've laid virtually the full limit of 300 track pieces per year, with a couple of minor exceptions. I have barely covered 2/3rds of the l...
