I have implemented this with a hex map, rather than the point-to-point map on the physical game board. I think it works much better for TTS.

Plat has modeled rails to lay onto the map. Drag them out of the large rail at the player seat, and copy/paste/rotate them as needed.

------------------
Constructive suggestions are very much appreciated. If you find any problems I'll try to address them.

------------------
The Empire Builder boardgame is by Mayfair Games. This mod allows me to play with family across the country, but it's not as fun as playing over a table with them. If you like this mod, buy the game.

Many thanks to Plat for the awesome rails to lay on the map.
Thanks to Mr. Stump for the LUA code for the counting tiles.
Thanks to ChriskyBusiness for the poker chips.

I used Hexographer to make the map: www.hexographer.com

it's giving a failed to load model error on the in game currency. it appears that the bin.com url for this figure is incorrect or no longer exists. friends and I just got back from boys vaycay. had alot of fun playing the board game. hope to get some similar enjoyment out of this TTS version. thanks for all the hard work much appreciated on any help restoring the cash models.

Poker chips do not load properly

Correct: it's different. I feel the hexes work better in this context. You are free to disagree.

I see a lot of work has gone into this and i respect that, but why cant the board be dots like it is in real life? Why the hexes? As is, the map is not accurate to it real life counterpart.

OK then. If you ever find those files, please put them up in an "extras" bag anyway. I'd like to look at them anyway, and it might make for a good game design exercise to adapt it to this version.

Oh, I'd forgotten about that! About 5 years ago I paid the author (Bruce Linsey) for the files to make my own copy of that, but I can't find them now. One thing he told me at the time is that it's not compatible with the version of EB that includes Mexico. He said that to use it I'd have to find an old copy of the original version that doesn't include Mexico. I was not able to find it for a good price, so I never went through with printing and mounting the cards, etc.

Long story short: I don't think I'll be adding that to this TTS mod.

I'm not aware of any EB expansions. Can you link me to what you read?
A88mph 27.8.2022 klo 11.12 
I just read on BoardGameGeek that there is an expansion that adds advanced rules to the game. Would it be possible to add this expansion to the mod?

I hope you can get some enjoyment out of the mod. I can get a game going with my friend across town and my nephew in Brooklyn. I couldn't do that without a mod like this... so I made it.
