[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by tangerine-jack ARGHHH! Not another controversy! Well, not being one to miss an opportunity to shoot off my mouth, or stick my foot in it for that matter, I will weigh in with this: Rural is easier because it utilzes most of the natural environment we are in by virtue of being outdoors. Industrial requires a lot of structures which are subject to the depravations of that said environment. HOWEVER: a rural only RR has no purpose with out some industry to justify it's existance. My solution (and since this is to be another controversy I will say it's the correct and superior solution) is to have your RR a rural tourist line. You have industry (tourism) in a rural environment, with your choice of structures representing any industry you happen to want along the way that the tourist would enjoy looking at, and if desired, a town to provide the tourist a place to spend thier money. Ok, y'all, let's do it!!!![:D][:D][:D][oX)] [/quote] OK, I promise, this will be the last controversy thread in a long while. I, however, must admit that I have had a good time reading all the posts. I, again however, don't want to cause so much friction to the friendships herein by making posts based on "political forum" formulae. I have considered building some industrial structures our of earthenware clay and backing them in a kiln. So long as the walls aren't too think it will bake just fine and it will last. What would y'all think of this? is it possible or too difficult? I made some Revolutionary War chess figures out of this material and they seemed just fine. I have played witht he tourism angle, it think a railroad's primary goal should be to haul things, thus my rail line will serve two functions- Tourism/commuter Passenger and agricultural frieght. The Induatrial will come later as I develop methods to build the structures.
