The Inter City Express and SBahn gametype (ICE/SBahn)

by Osai and Mucht

ICE/SBahn network overview

• First of all look at the images to the right.
• ICE's are 8-Tiles long, ICE-1 and ICE-TD need two engines and have 12 wagons. ICE's of the third generation (ICE-3) have powered wagons and need only one engine with 14 wagons.
• Use Passenger Coaches (mainline), they can carry 56 passengers each.
• SBahns are 3-Tiles long and depending on the area you can use either BR420 (faster) or ET-30 (more HP).
• Cities have an Inner SBahn Ring (around the center) and an Outer SBahn Ring (through the outer parts of the city) which transfer passengers to the cities Central Stations! The SBahn Stations should complement one another with their station coverage.
• Use the transfer button for all SBahn stations, which means: pick up passengers and go on (transfer & take cargo).
• Use the transfer button + unload button for the Central Stations, which means: transfer & leave empty.

ICE/SBahn layout in city areas

• [rename the Central Stations] i.e. Drinwood Central Station is " DNW" (use a space in front of DNW -> Central Stations are shown first in the station list)
• [rename the ICE's] i.e. Train 56 going from Drinwood to Madham has to be renamed to "Train 56 - DNW <> MDH". Dont forget: Always sort townnames alphabetical: MDH <> DNW would be wrong, you all know why! ;-)
