Description
Not too proud of this one, but thought I'd use the time to test out some new things for the thumbnail.
Just a quick map based on the local Streetcar's yard. Is this how it's supposed to normally work? Probably not, but I had fun building it anyways.
This took like two hours to build, so it's yet another quickie, enjoy I guess
If you're having trouble, just remember - you can send two trains through two sides of a crossing without getting penalized. Just make sure they don't crash, of course...

You know, I hadn't really thought about that - I don't actually know if the prototype has cabs on both ends or not. I assume not, based on the fact that two of the three lines are loop lines, and the third has reversing loops at both ends, but I never actually got confirmation.
Absolutely right, though - this does showcase that well, even if I didn't really think about it when designing the map

Thanks for the map.

(I think this is how it works if you build a yard for x streetcar's and use it hosting 2 x x .)

(It's also a good map to show why smaller networks (with 'turning loops' at both end of the line) sometimes decide to buy streetcars with a 'cab' at both ends or at least a simple 'cab' at the end of the consist to make it easier to go backwards. I remember one situation in the Netherlands where, despite of having cabs on both ends, at the yard was made a 'turning loop' to equalize the wear of the wheels on both sides.)

:loco:
