 ===== Signalling =====
 Many websites listed here are about German signalling systems in general. However, only a small, modified subset of these systems are implemented in advtrains for simplicity.

 Please note that, due to historical reasons, the signal aspect names may differ between the former Deutsche Reichsbahn and the Deutsche Bundesbahn, and, in a few cases, the same name may refer to different signal aspects.

 ===== Servers =====
-Listed are various minetest servers and their web pages concerning AdvTrains. Some do not have much, others have a huge amount. Feel free to add your own server, but ensure a neutral point of view.
+The list below is sorted alphabetically.
+  * [[https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=17465|LinuxForks]]

+===== Videos =====
+Youtube videos are an invaluable resource for finding out about real-world railways. Using videos, railways can be made more realistic.
+Videos:
-=== 56i-mtwiki ===
+  * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dtm7SQfNppM|Freight Train (1954)]] - A vintage film explaining the logistics of the American freight train system at the time.
-The wiki of this server grows with the number of buildings; there may be more pages added to this list in just a matter of a month or so. However, the admin is not always online.
+  * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJx6MdesrY4|Freight and a City (1966)]] - A railway video detailing Sheffield's transformation from a slow and broken freight system developed organically into a modernised industrial town.

+  * [[https://www.youtube.com/c/RMTransit|RM Transit]] - Canadian YouTuber who goes into detail about various transit systems across the world and gives general opinions on what is good and what can improve.
-Since this server has a smaller web presence than other pages on this list, it may seem smaller than 56i-mtserver. This is the opposite. This server is welcoming, and will likely answer any question you ask them.

+===== Maps =====
-This server is the oldest server with AdvTrains. For this reason, it has players with a lot of experience. Please be as polite as possible. First impressions matter a lot on this server.
+The real world can be used as reference for various junctions and topographies of transport.
-  * [[https://wiki.linux-forks.de/mediawiki/index.php/Railway_Styleguide|Railway guide]] - Concerns the construction of railways across the server.
-  * [[https://wiki.linux-forks.de/mediawiki/index.php/Category:Transport_system_types|Transport System Types]] - Concerns the transport categories and can be used as inspiration for your own network.
-  * [[https://notsyncing.net/maps.linux-forks.de/|Map]] - Unlike 56i-mtserver, this map just shows track locations. Brilliant for seeing how turns are done.
+  * [[https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=12/40.4021/-3.7273&layers=O|ÖPNVKarte]] - An OSM map layer which shows public transport (mainlines in yellow, metro in blue, trams in green, buses in red)
