Okies now the However, just a couple I am sure Minor Things, Only noticeable by a American in Oregon. First NO MONORAIL no matter what year i tried up to 2050, Second NO Cable car's I started this latest map in 1750 and am now in 1949, and in the US only San Fransisco was still using cable cars. But all you get is the Track, over head lines and a Depot with NO CARS at all.

On a side note, I really need to understand the Rail Signals, I even went to the British Rail line sites and looked at signals, but they were all different than whats in SimuTrans,

There are no cable cars in the pakset, feel free to create and contribute these.
There are no monorails in the pakset, feel free to create and contribute these.

Edit: It sems like monorails in the UK are only used as an attraction in amusement parks, which might be the reason why nobody yet created these.

About the empty depot, did you put an electrification on the track? Otherwise electric trams won't show up and iirc all trams in 1949 are elctric.

Is the depot electrified? If not, electric trams will not appear (only horses and steam).
There is Maglev in pak128.britain, which is similar to monorail.
Signals have the same functions as in any other pakset.

Thanks for the input!
The idea of creating ""]There are no cable cars in the pakset, feel free to create and contribute these.
There are no monorails in the pakset, feel free to create and contribute these. "" is delightful, how ever I had my 71st birthday the 9Th of September,and although I have been a programmer for 50 years with the Microsoft software, My poor brain is totally fried. and not able to comprehend data as I used to,

Now how do you electrify the track? I tried putting the do-goodie for power to Factories next to the tracks as well as the Depot but it did not work, so what do I do now? I do have a save game at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cyBlrXM_M4LLoYsq6UaIqCDdc7-gyn5a/view?usp=sharing   It is nu-bee stuff I am sure compared to the things I have seen you guys do on UTube and such. Many Thanks for the replys. it really helps.
*hugs*

There's a button for "DC overhead catenary" in tram toolbar, just near the buttons to build tracks. Just build it over an existing track.

First of all, happy birthday!

And we do love having new folks around, just to clarify.

The reason the answer you got is given is that many people - not you, not most - but many people do demand things be made, and, well, we're all volunteer. People already make things they feel like. So it's become the standard answer, and I know it's not meant to be or even sound mean, just express the reality of the situation. But it might sound harsher than we mean it to sound, and if so, I do apologize.

I'm glad you're enjoying Simutrans! I hope it provides enjoyment for a very very long time to come :)
