There is no easy way to change from standard track to monorail. Or from monorail to maglev. All of this needs to be changed manually.

I do the changes in two ways.

First: Change one line at a time. So I would have several independant lines that make all my money. Probably 2 passengers lines, a coal line, wood or oil lines, and a goods line. So when the new monorail comes out I would first send all my passenger trains to the depot automatically wait till they all arrived there delete them then change the track to monorail then build new monorail trains. Then repeat this for the other lines. This way impact to your income is minimised compared to doing it all at once.

Second: If I have a goods line already running I would build a second goods line but the second would be of the new system. So diesel station and a monorail station at the factory. Then I would build this monorail station to a further away city for goods drop off then start the trains rolling. As the monorail trains are bought I would then send all the diesel trains back to depot so they no longer load from the station. After I have sold all the diesel trains I would either delete the existing track or convert it to be used for a new line for something else, or to double capacity of the new monorail goods line. This way income is not affected AND you will make alot more money from the new longer distance route with monorail (or maglev).

I usually build a monorail depot next to the to be converted railway, make the new trains in there and use the 'go to' and click on one of the old/current trains.. So you dont have to remake all orders manually (I usually forget where what trains are goung etc) xD with complicated systems I do this for every station on the new line :)

Hi,

as this thread has already brought back to life.... I append... ;)

For offline playing, the "Universal Rail Type" comes in handy for this task, an unversal depot is also included (works with OTTD 1.3.3).

As the name suggests, a new railtype is added, on which all trains can drive. To avoid players from building this type of rails for the whole network, there are some options like making them very expensive or setting a maximum speed.

Maybe this would be a nice addition to the servers, too?

Best regards
Georg
