    Hello.

    I am quite new to the TS series in general and to the TSC game in particular, so if that what I am asking about is obvious for you, please, redirect me to an appropriate thread. Thank you.

    I have sevaral questions.

    1. Does the TSC game have support for light railway transport such as trams ?
    2. Are there any tram trains in the game ?
    3. Is it possible to lay concrete based tram rails in scenario editor ?
    4. Is it possible to mix tram rails with ordinary rails in TSC ?

    I know that some countries use the same road width for trams and ordinary railroads. E.g. Russia uses 1520 mm railroads for both city trams, metro lines and ordinary railroads. In some European countries tram lines are also compatible with light diesel locomotives.

    I would like to make a scenario where a light hybrid powered diesel locomotive with batteries travels using city tram rails, underground metro ways and then goes to ordinary railroads. All this is possible in Russia, by the way.

    Some examples from old Europe photos:

    Thank you.

    Manchester metrolink has tram available which can be used in parts of the metrolink where the tracks are present in chat moss by ATS and Liverpool to Manchester by DTG. https://www.dpsimulation.org.uk/rf72emu.html
    If you are looking for a tram route then I am unaware of any although would welcome one.

    Microsoft train simulator had the Manchester metrolink route as freeware was a great route. Which we could have it in TSC

    to no.2
    there are tram like routes in TS
    - U-Bahn Frankfurt
    Parts contains tracks on street. But theres no connection to normal railroad as I know. and to no3. there could be some interesting track-assets.
    - Freeware Extension to Karlsruhe - Mannheim: Stadtbahn Project Karlsruhe v2 (https://rail-sim.de/forum/filebase/entry/5549-stadtbahn-karlsruhe-project/)
    - Freeware "Ostregion: Bahnnetz Raum Wien Süd" (or similar, it have changed name over the past), available on railworks austria
    There´s the so called "Wiener Lokalbahn", that could have one connection to normal railroad at Traiskirchen, but not sure.

    My Blackpool route should still be available from Trainsim dot com however some of the dependencies may not due to UKTS closing and official DLC that DTG have pulled for newer users.
