Wow it was a busy day. Thanks so much for the new file @Jessabeans . Really great how speedy you are. Rox has been testing different heights and options and it seems we have a winner. She’s just got to rebuild the full final so we’re almost there 😀
Wonderful, you are welcome, I'm glad it's worked out. Which lot size did you settle on? I can go ahead and draw in the train lots. Do you think the train station lot size is going to work or want to try some other sizes?
@Sandraelle What size would you like the Fire Station lot to be?
Oh gosh, I haven’t even thought about a shape or, how big, lol, but how about 40x30?
Okay, I'll put a 40x30 there for now and if you think you'll need something else later on as you plan for it just let me know. I'm still working on Venice's layout so it will be a while before I get to London. Just wanted to ask if you had something in mind for it. I'm looking forward to what you come up with for it. I thought your decor in the fire station you just finished look great.

@Jessabeans, we are going with the 24 x 15 "Visitors Allowed" lot.
Here's the link for the Base car. Paula will be updating the front page when she gets home.
LOL I see some of you beat me to it, but I'm going to say it anyway...
The Venice-Simplon Orient Express train car is available!!!! Super duper excited. Thanks to the talent of @romagi1 who did a totally marvelous job of creating this shell.
Hope others come on board now the base is available. We'll be circling back later on regarding the base cars for the other trains.
I've updated the posts on page 1 to include the link to the download. Please take a look at the Overall and Design notes before starting. Looking forward to seeing your creations.
All aboard! Have fun designers!

@Jessabeans , hope this doesn’t throw you for a loop but the first lot in the series of trains needs to be longer for the engine. Got pretty far on my rebuild tonight but I’ve run out of room to put the coal car on the 24x15. I’ll know tomorrow exactly how many more squares I’ll need. Just giving you a heads up.

Hi @BreeMiles! Just check the first page. There are lists of trains and lots that you can pick from. If it has a name, it's already claimed. If not, you can claim it. Welcome aboard!
Yay, great you’re joining us @BreeMiles . The train cars are little decor opportunities. The world lots are more extensive builds, esp since we’re aiming to have some playable well known landmarks. If you’re claiming a world lot, it would be great if you can tell us what size you prefer so Jessa can add the placeholder in the world.

Jessabeans, do you think there is somewhere to put a 40 x 40 abandoned home nectary? For those that like doing renovations.
That is gorgeous, I could put it on the outskirts overlooking the city, maybe on a little hill with a vineyard by it. I love doing renovations.
@soocoolsim Yes that's fine, I moved the Venice station up the island a little so I have up to 48 more tiles before it gets to the water so there's plenty of room for a longer engine lot. Do you want the engine arriving or departing Venice?
I don't know if anyone is thinking about the graveyard yet but, I found out there is a graveyard island off Venice (San Michele.) So if anyone would prefer to have it there instead of in Paris let me know and I'll put in the island for it. If that's what we go with the island would have a graveyard lot, lot for San Michele church and a small dock lot for arrival by boat.

Since Venice is in between the others, either direction is fine. Whatever work well from your perspective thanks.

@soocoolsim will I need to add a place for the food to be cooked, In that same cart? Well now I think I have read it wrong, does it just need to be a place to prepare the food?
@soocoolsim will I need to add a place for the food to be cooked, In that same cart?
Hi Bree, so glad to see you here and that you're wanting to participate. Yes, the dining cars will serve as a working restaurant. Hope it's ok that I answered for you @soocoolsim.
- Do we know which end (right or left assuming looking at it from front of lot) is the front of the cars for the British Pullman?
- Are we going to put in a base camp lot so this can be used as a travel world if people want to do that?
@suzses I like the idea of a basecamp. Where do you think it would go? In the mountains as a lodge or in one of the cities? Or should we just make one of the available homes in the cities a base camp lot?
@Jessabeans Thanks I have no idea where to put the base camp, but are we thinking of one of the locations as where people would begin their trip? If so, maybe that would be the best location. I think one of the homes would probably work great.
@soocoolsim I can do British Pullman Minerva, too.
Looking for pictures of the Royal Scotsman dining cars and can't tell what's what yet (Raven or Swift). I did see that Swift doesn't have a kitchen IRL, but thinking we should have kitchens in both since separate lots? Anyway, I'm thinking I can do one of these, but would like to see what I'm committing to first. I see the pic in your first link of one that appears to have dark green upholstery on dining chairs - that appeals. Little worried about coming up with something for the wall art I see.

Looks gorgeous @suzses! I'm almost done with mine on the Venice train and we used some of the same items, the round table, a chair and the same lamp, haha! My walls will look quite different tho because my restaurant car described it as having black laquer paneling, lol.
Since your dining car will be the front car (and assuming you removed the one door on one end), then the end without the door would be on the right side, which will follow the engine car. (Just chiming in for Paula again ... )
