Building a City Tram Network

Designing Compact Urban Routes

City trams and DC trains in this pack are built for tight urban spaces. Create shorter track segments with frequent stops, mimicking real transit systems. Use ground-level or slightly elevated track to integrate trams into your city streets. Place station platforms close together—trams work best with stops every 100-200 blocks.

Spawning and Operating Trams

Select a tram or DC train model from the MTR spawn menu. These vehicles are lighter and faster-accelerating than regional stock, making them ideal for frequent-stop service. Configure multiple trams on the same line to create a realistic headway (time between vehicles). Use the MTR scheduler to set trams to depart at regular intervals.

Add overhead wires above your tram lines for visual authenticity. Many tram models in this pack feature detailed pantograph systems that interact with catenary.
