GWR Country

Welcome to GWR Country...

This large 1:1 vanilla Transport Fever 2 map is meant to represent those parts of the UK where the Great Western Railway reigns supreme!

The start date is 1880 so you don't spend too much time with horses and carts :)

GWR Country is developed from a real world 1:1 Google heightmap of the area around Shrewsbury, Shropshire UK, and the longest river in the UK - the River Severn... using the NLS maps for street and rail placement for the 1890's.

Except that the town names have been changed, and several of the industry placements are fictional (oil and iron ore in particular), to make it more "generic" to the GWR region :)

The map features:

1 - magnificent navigable rivers across the map

2 - multiple rail lines which converge in the major urban area

3 - the Shrewsbury Canal, which joined the Shopshire Union Canal

4 - the fictional town of Bordertown, the Eastern portal of the railway line to London

One again, I've indicated where the railway lines (7 of them) were placed in reality, by using the small vanilla country road, some of which is player owned in places near urban areas to limit the AI taking over.

The "painted" canal also includes some player owned segments of small vanilla country road to hopefully prevent the AI converting them to streets and wrecking the canal :)

Overall, 5.7% of roads are player owned, for a maintenance cost of around $160k per period.

This is provided as a vanilla map... but it is just waiting for you to include many of the GWR assets available on Steam to bring it to "life" as I am attempting to do in my current video series on YouTube.

Initial episodes of that series show you how to incorporate the Narrowboats mods to make a "painted" canal work for you!

Please leave a like, and enjoy playing this map!

Cheers,
