the repair shop and
we'll replace you with a working
vehicle all right making to
P

vehicle let's say by
uh cargo types we got
[Music]
passengers we got
the heord
bus number
[Music]
two
copy dump that send you

there all
right and a bit of
[Music]
signaling and we're all good to
go
ah really appreciate it thank you very
much still making a little bit of loss
on
[Music]
them
this grain and livestock trains a
little
worrisome but we'll check that out
later now the reason why we're doing
that is we
want to run a train along line along
here
actually lower
that like
that
ah got to go
around
that
thing that sort of broadcast
tower so it don't allow us to demolish
that the
train place up the train which is a
Pity all
right join this platform
on I should play Minecraft educational
Edition it's
a strange suggestion
I will give it the consideration that it
is
worth let's delete
that have it come up like
this
right now you'll be going that way
[Music]
what we can do
is put you
[Music]
there and some signaling like
that
here all right
and we go like
that build a
bridge uh not across
it I don't like the
bridge
here we blow that up
uh I don't think we're going to have to
blow all of that
up then R land
[Music]
here
perhaps we put in a tunnel underneath
oh that's the same
level that's too
far anyway train lines actually aren't
going to be there that often
so how about we go like
that it's not a good way to have a line
but and you come
out here we turn the line
around same way we Turn the Beat Around
I'm just going to make Cho
thises
huh
oh sometimes it's hard to
tell what is
what there we go
now that's in
place sorry about
that all
righty we have a train
line so now I can go
find
out there we go new
vehicles got to go engines only
by
uh running
cost oh V sets
cool and the cheapest
is this steam
train running cost is
that oh
no that's the cheapest okay bye
[Music]
you then
[Music]
grin one are
you
and
livestock some of
you oops that's too many
now tell it to
go what do you mean by an
[Music]
edit that should be full load but we'll
tackle that in a moment
and there
go we load any
cargo go to nearest
[Music]
Depot and maintain if
needed oh definitely you can make
Clips I would really appreciate
that no no not all
right that's
on the
way while we're at
that new
vehicle engines
[Music]
only get our
elves hold
on cheap
diesel buy
that
and refit you to
carry Goods
go Goods
train explosive van I guess oh oh that's
an
engine yeah we know there's very few
okay there we
go so we're going to
go all the
way here to have it full
load now we'll find somewhere that
needs
Goods yep
still making a bit of a profit that's
great uh accepts Goods
okay we'll go here cuz it's nice and
local
go go to near
Depot maintain if needed
all right let's set this guy
off all
right where is your
try why are you you
slow
not oh I've got the Tang Gars but
they're
electric and the Endeavors
okay do they just not
have any power
guess they don't have much
power I have more money
oh often easy to earn money in
game all
right there go
is
that this train is a slow one it takes a
lot of speed
to time to speed
up hold on why isn't
it oh it has to go all the way over to
there would help
going to go blow
that blow
that stick a tunnel through
there all
right that'll
help on that move
[Music]
you all
right
oh notice we don't have any signaling
here it's a signaling
Gap one two three
four that
all
right that
one's through there and we can
[Music]
continue
along here to the next
town ah here's the next town that we're
going to
have added
no
no
actually how do we
switch ra
types that's how we do it okay
cool there
[Music]
and there
all
right
we have go Chris Cross like
that
and cross like
that make a nice
oh can we blow that
up no we
can't all right
there we
go have that join up like
that I think we can have this come along
here course
so we can get around that
problem all
right
[Music]
there signals that
one to this one
like
that all
right now where do we have to join it up
to we have to join up to all the way up
there so have a
big long
line comes oh
here hopefully that's about the same
level I don't know it's not going to be
so I'm going to have
to sort that out in a
second all right
there it
goes we
go a nice bit of flattening
here what is my favorite
sport
probably cycling
I am a bit of a fan of
cycling mostly as a participant rather
than
a Observer but I have
watched cycling because it's a
wonderfully strategic
sport there it
goes and oddly enough
I like Cricket as a background
noise so it's a good sport if you don't
want to
[Music]
actually
uh be involved in
it you just want something in the
background to to fill up the
silence all
right that is
our first line
there what's Cricket
um it's sort of
like baseball for English people
for want of a better
explanation all
right run this line along here can we oh
cool
we miss the transmission towers
wait the G game from Blue from Bluey
yes yes
exactly let's get rid of
that there we go all right
we'll
continue this
line here and go
up we got to go up onto this ledge up
here all right
and you go like
that this one comes along like that
going to have to join up
together all right a little tight
cve there we go all
right the money is coming in
oh

allow don't think they'll allow us to
plant more trees either oh yes they
will all
right well if we can't go directly

there how about we go through there here
all
right SZ and
celebrate first train arrives
awesome
okay that
one ah hi awesome pie good to see you
all right oh Duchess Elizabeth Lake
okay go
there all
right oh no that's
worrying we made a loss I think were
oh all our bribes and tree planting cost
us a lot of
money okay we'll keep an eye on that and
hopefully that doesn't happen next
year all
right uh
[Music]
hold
on slope
thing which I'm pretty sure was a
programming limitation that they've just
turned
into a
bit of game play
structure there we go how are we for
money we're not too
bad so we
can withstand a loss every so
often all
right there
and like
that like that all
right that's all
good
and in
there got to get this lined up
H all
right
go to that
spot you
just flatten that out for a
second
oh and we get this saving
all
right just wiggle it a
bit I wanted to lower that not rise
it and then okay
cool little Wiggly bits for a mountain
pass that's not too bad I don't think
all
right it's hard
to tell how the land destruction
here perhaps because there's so many
trees on top of
it you can't blame me for planting all
those trees
blame the government that made
me all right then we can
go like
that choo
[Music]
choo all right
there we go all
right one two three
four imag losing so much money from
bribery and tree planting truly
revolutionary yeah

bribes on my tax return
there a expensive doing
business all
righty got the north wamara
one
there where's your trains
going very
slow why are you so
slow that's cuz you're pulling half your
train uphill okay
might have
to replace that with a more powerful
engine since that engine is so
powerless all
right let's check
in
on my other
trains and we're going to sort by
profit last
year
some
really money- making trains and we got
some ones that don't make much at
all where are you
