 ===== 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.

-=== 56i-mtwiki ===
+[[https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?p=218381#p218381|The first post on Advtrains on the Minetest forum]] also includes an incomplete list of servers using Advtrains.
-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.
-  * [[http://56i.duckdns.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/guidelines/junctions|Junctions]] - A gentle guide to basic junctions, and lists other external links at the [[http://56i.duckdns.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/guidelines/junctions#resources|bottom]].
+===== Videos =====
-  * [[http://56i.duckdns.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/guidelines/trackplans|Trackplans]] - A guide to maps concering advtrains.
+Youtube videos are an invaluable resource for finding out about real-world railways. Using videos, railways can be made more realistic.
-  * [[http://56i.duckdns.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/guidelines/railway_guide|Railway Guide]] - Concerns the construction of railways across 56i's server, but has advice applicable to you setup.
-  * [[http://56i.duckdns.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/infrastructure/advtrains/start|Real example]] - A list of the train infrastructure <del>infecting</del> nuturing this fertile land.
-  * [[http://56i.duckdns.org:8080|Live Map]] - Shows a live map of the server, as well as the train network. If the server is online(which it likely is), it also shows signal states and train locations (advice: left-hand driving is commonplace).
-=== Tunnler's Abyss ===
+Videos:
-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.

-=== LinuxForks Minetest Server  ===
+Channels:
-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.
-A lot of wiki pages have now been hidden from the general public, including the first two links.
+  * [[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.
-  * [[https://wiki.linux-forks.de/mediawiki/index.php/Railway_Styleguide|Railway guide]] - Concerns the construction of railways across the server.
+===== Maps =====
-  * [[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.
+The real world can be used as reference for various junctions and topographies of transport.
-  * [[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)
+  * [[https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/41.3897/2.1503&layers=T|Transport Map]] - An OSM layer which shows railways as its most prominent feature.

+  * [[https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/detailed/gb-nr:CRE|RealTimeTrains]] - A timetable of trains in the UK, which can be used for inspiration on timetabling services and junctions
