It's Snowing Somewhere

 
I'm still having fun with my Train Station game. I like how I decorated the streets for fall.

But, it's started snowing there... not enough to collect, but we all know what happens next.

I've managed to continue to keep the small town farm community feel to my city, even though I'm on level 305 now.

In the real world... we are supposed to have a warmer than usual, dry week ahead. Maybe I'll get some more outside work done.

Spring Comes to Halls Crossing

 
Just a short break from Flower Show. It's Saturday, my zombie day, and today was worse than usual. I've really done nothing except play the TrainStation game.

However, I have come a long way since I last showed you my town at level 49 when I had three streets (see link below to Zombieland). I now have five, the most you can get. But you can keep sprawling sideways (for a price, of course). I'm now at level 187! You can click to see it larger.



I've kept the polar themed background all winter. But it seemed like time for the snow to melt. However, I couldn't find a theme they offered that I liked for my town of Halls Crossing. But I did finally locate one that has an agricultural theme (OK, it has a castle too. It's Bavaria, but it has fields and hills, and some other picky details too pedantic to explain). Yes, the green is too bright, but that's what it is.

The game almost forces you into becoming a large city because of the kinds of buildings and rewards they give. But I'm working hard to remain a small farm town. Urban growth and manufacturing have come to one sector, but its roots will remain agricultural as long as I can generate enough passengers to stay in the game. So far so good.

You'll notice the farms and vineyards on the right side. And the turn-of-the-twentieth-century downtown area is still the core of commerce.

So, at Halls Crossing it's suddenly summer!



In the real world it was sunny but cold. If I'd felt halfway human I might have taken a walk. As it was, I barely got out of bed.

Zombieland

 
All there is to say about today is that I slept long after work, woke up, ate, played my game, ate a little more, and now I'm going back to sleep.

I've reached level 49 and can now run electric trains as well as steam and diesel. Still having fun.



Zzzzzzz

It Snowed on Halls Crossing

 
I'm still lost in my train game. Level 37 now. Having lots of fun. I named my station Halls Crossing. On top of that, I became a millionaire (look in the top right corner and you'll see my game currency!) You can click the picture to make it bigger.




If you think you want to become addicted, the game is TrainStation.
