Glasgow Local

Glasgow Local

After two and a half years of part-time work: A semi-accurate model of about half of the rail network in and around the South of Glasgow, Scotland. The map now includes an interpretation of the newly opened Larkhall branch based on a visit by myself in 2005.

The provided session contains relatively real-life scheduling for the majority of the consists on the layout, with three available for use by the player. The layout must be run for close to one hour in *Real Time* to see everything the portals produce.

Due to the complexity of the layout, the AI will get confused from time to time and consists will overshoot
junctions; pass red lights and very occasionally get lost for no reason. In such a case the AI needs a little help to avoid massive queues appearing at junctions.

The layout took so much time to create that scenery definitely comes second. I will however put in some buildings and trees to represent the towns and cities, although I have no intention of making the towns and cities look realistically large!
