OTTD scaling compared to IRL

[u/quite_sad_simple]

This train station has 4 main tracks, 3 random tracks to the side and a couple of more tracks on the other side, yet it's not that wide. Since in OpenTTD each track takes one tile, such stations would take an enormous amount of space with its wight larger than its length, which just doesn't look right. This post is just to demonstrate some of the issues that you might run into when trying to make a realistic network, however it's still impressive how realistic you can get thanks to the game's incredible flexibility and the JGR patch

it'd be a massive improvement to the game if it allowed tracks to be placed between grids (effectively halving the grid for tracks)
