Commence heavy freight haulage this decade. Passenger service, like the male teat, is neither functional nor ornamental. Concentrate our efforts on South Auckland. Upgrade all locomotives, in one year to reap maximum reliability gains. Let the other lines be paid beta-testers for Baldwin and his ilk.

The Jinty wasn't in Transport Tycoon Deluxe - TTD moved up the start date to 1950 whereas the original had 1930, and the Jinty was a casualty of the two amputated decades. A pity. It was, as people said, a fun teeeeny teeeeeny little twain.

The N&W Class J is a beautiful engine with a superb engineering history. Just learning it's in this game tempts me to go out and get a copy.

Spaced God posted:The engines were massively loud, and the sonic booms were feared and despised, The general public and especially those around airports found them annoying, including claims that they were deafening their children, giving them x disease, and even one claim that a Concorde disrupted someone's rhythm method and got his wife pregnant. According to an interview he gave when the Concordes were retired, when the head of the British half of the project was first shown the specifications his reaction was to say that if they needed transatlantic communications that fast then the entire budget should be invested in videoconferencing instead. And when we talk about fear of sonic booms, we mean massive, hilarious fear. Part of my work involves sifting through old 1960s/70s land documents and leases, and a common clause in tens of thousands of commercial and residential agreements back then was a ban on any creation of sonic booms! Y'know. For all those supersonic private flying cars we were all gonna have by the year 2000
