Dubai Metro is also fully automated.

Nürnberg also has one of their lines automated. I think it's U3, the newest addition.

Oh no he's singing again!

Some basic info:

>>6271

It's the Mallard's sibling! LNER A4 Silver Link, named after a poem by Walter Scott.

>True love's the gift which God has given
>To man alone beneath the heaven;
>It is not fantasy's hot fire,
>Whose wishes, soon as granted, fly;
>It liveth not in fierce desire,
>With dead desire it doth not die;
>It is the secret sympathy,
>The silver link, the silken tie,
>Which heart to heart, and mind to mind,
>In body and in soul can bind.

Why didn't they save it? There was no concept of historical significance in the early 60's? It was the first one of its class too

It's over

Thinking of moving to Europe because I love trains

Glenfinnan station has a wee cafe based in an old Mk 1 coach.

There was an entire chain dedicated to the concept, Victoria Station.

The Japanese railway company Kintetsu is behind this thoroughly ordinary cafeteria curry.

What about board games?

There are of course:
-Ticket to Ride, seems to be strictly casual.
-Then there's Age of Steam, appears to have more focus on building and operation.
-And the mammoth that is 18xx, has the focus on finance.

Is there something notable that I'm forgetting here?

If you actually are a hobbyist, what's best version of each series?

>>5785
Um. I should have removed that terrible "One Way Ticket" adaptation.
(It's the same in Finnish - "Menolippu", the expression 'ticket to ride' was rendered as such.)

Anyway, almost a year has passed and in the meanwhile I have slowly been edging towards the 18xx series. I'm now in an online game of 1860 and in a week I'll shove this thing down to the throat of of a friend physically.

As of now, I'm essentially playing against mr. Morgan and mr. Vanderbilt here so I'm just going to explore the mechanics of the game and cause general havoc on the board. I'm thinking of pump and dump on the IOW... The only question is when; should I take my money out now as I have tokenized all the important eastern stations and made the company useless in the long term or should I buy a "3-train" and pay more dividents for myself and then dump right before my 2-trains rust? It is a dilemma, currently I'm broke yet I'd need some capital to place my real winning bid in a timely manner.

Derail Valley is pretty good these days with the new realism overhaul, if a bit cartoonish in some places. Admittedly, stock the game has only a bunch of euro locos and one freedom adjacent steam locomotive, but that is what mods are for.

Amtrak is fukt

I refuse to elaborate

>>6232
if only trains could fly, but at least you don't get fucked for trying to carry more than a purse

yea

Hey please tell me what is this site . I chose you random between this comment to ask what's this fucking site please tell. Isaw some meme and stickers from this site but what are they talking about? I see train pictures every where in this sit im gonna be crazy please tell whats going on

>>6226
Like ponychan, but instead of an animesque cartoon for little girls, we obsess on all sorts of vehicles that move on rails. Maglevs also pass.

Small 'alt chans' dedicated for a single topic were and are a thing, it's not all raids and thousands of variants of ancient krautchan memes. Shouldn't be that hard to grasp, are you just just being intentionally obtuse or 12? Anyway, check out lainchan for example. They have /lain/ yes, but otherwise it's quite tech and cyberpunk oriented.

While diesel locomotives do exist they're actually very rare. Almost every locomotive today is electric. The main difference between modern locomotives is how they get their electricity. What most people call a diesel locomotive is an electric locomotive with a diesel generator.

>>6189
By your logic a draisine and a locomotive with a mechanical transmission are the same.
Also, almost all 'mechanical' powertains do have a hydraulic clutch and many 'hydraulics' have mechanical range selectors.

>>6184 – Coal-powered engines generate a lot more nostalgia as a byproduct than diesel-powered engines do.

Would agree

To add some sort of joined up thinking between TOCs, Rosco's, and infrastructure is needed (ideally through nationalistion). Atm, basic things like application of traction held are a massive ballache because all three have to organise and agree amongst themselves.

In realms of fascination, wondrous gleams,
Resides a mind, attuned to vibrant trains.
With passion's fire, a love that brightly beams,
Autistic spirit thrives, where knowledge reigns.

The rhythm of the tracks, a joyful beat,
As timetables are etched in memory's keep.
Each train and bus, a tale that's bittersweet,
Unveiling worlds, in journeys vast and deep.

In vivid focus, details come alive,
From engine's hum to tracks' melodic sway.
With dedication, schedules they revive,
A symphony of routes, both night and day.

"Great British Railways" intends to implement the recommendations of the Grant-Schapps report, but stops short of full renationalisation (which the Conservative government are trying their hardest to rule out). By all accounts the government seems to have lost interest in actually going ahead with "Great British Railways" and the GBR "transition team" have produced very little other than buzzword-laden LinkedIn posts.
