| Riding atop the Trestle Lock overlooking the bay and Paper Tower Court |
For the past two days, I’ve been setting up a transportation
system in the city of Accentaury. There used to be a tram there years ago, but
it didn’t work properly. In fact, the trestle that expands over the bay is the
only remaining artifact from that extensive system from 2010. I kept a couple
pieces of the original track intact for history sake, but as of this week, the
trestle fulfills its original function once again. I found the SL Rail this week while exploring
a pet cemetery. That sim was fascinating, and after viewing headstones people
left in memory of their beloved pets, I saw the train tracks on the edges of
the sim. After a very pleasant ride, the next step was to find the vendor! The
quality is quite smooth and user friendly.
As of this writing, there are 6 stops that compose the route
in Accentaury. You can catch a vehicle at any of the stops, and click on the
appropriate board for the direction in which you wish to travel. I placed a red
arrow pointing the way above each vehicle generator so the visitor knows which
to click to rezz the car in the desired direction. Once onboard, simply left
click the vehicle and you’re off. The scripting is excellent, so anywhere along
the way, you can click the car again and it will stop. Another click and you
start again. Once you stand, the vehicle instantly disappears.

| The four stops between the ends of the line each have two ride generators, which rezz the vehicle. Left click the generator which has the arrow showing the direction you wish to travel. |
 |
| I clicked on both generators for this photo so you can see how the vehicles rezz in the direction of the red arrows. The unused vehicle here vanished in one minute because no one was sitting in it. You can start and stop your car at any time by clicking anywhere on the vehicle. Toggle it on and off as often as you want. Once you stand, it will disappear instantly. |
THE ROUTE:
Currently the six stops are:
1. Trestle Lock (overlooking Paper Tower Court)
2. Plateau of Man Park
3. North Shore (shopping and an entrance to the Library of
Darkrodin)
4. Museum and Maze Gardens
5. Sunken Gallery at the Museum (bring a snorkel)
6. Darkrodin Pier (Paper Village)
