Separate places
Every playable map has space around it. No attached or flush adjoining tiles. Internal terrain partitions within one map stay continuous.

Separate maps.
Connected railways.
A British miniature railway world. Separate places, one lasting network.
Space between every map.
Time between every place.
The same train throughout.

THE GAP IS PART OF THE JOURNEY
Away from the map.
Still on the railway.
I can manage another place while the same train travels. Opening its destination does not make it arrive.

The ten-minute connection is an example. Actual gap durations are still to choose. Preview playback is accelerated ×60.
IC-001 stays in transit when I change the viewed map.
Connected railways
Named routes join departure and arrival gateways. The missing countryside needs no detailed terrain, scenery or loaded corridor.
Persistent journeys
Train, consist, condition and passenger/cargo state survive switching and saves. Arrival at an unloaded map still needs one coherent record.
ONE PLAN, CLEAR OWNERS
Keep it tied to the ERA records.
The current 4 × 3 km development proving ground stays preserved. These are planned map footprints, not a claim of populated capacity or a working overworld/transit system. The assembled-map review comes before expansion.
This is an editable design illustration, not a gameplay capture. Try a draft to explore the footprints; changes stay in this browser and do not update the agreed design. The ten-minute gap is illustrative. Each railway connection needs its own journey duration.
