Hi, I've got a Company Town YKKTW going that I can't find a good picture for. These two were my previous attempts.

That YKTTW requires a TRS for a Launch Displacement, right?

None of these images are really illustrative.

The current Company Town doesn't look like it went through YKKTW, but TRS is at 135/100, so...

That page is more than two years old.

Having said that, this is what GIS gave to me.

As I mentioned in the YKTTW, a suitable image will have to reflect the social aspects of the city. Something that clearly labels that the city is owned by the company.

I mentioned that there is a difference between a city's economy revolving around one company, and a company establishing the town and controlling all of it's social, economic, and political decisions.

I know this isn't as helpful as i would wish; but, if anyone know how to contact Hardy Green, the cover of his book (The Company Town: The Industrial Edens and Satanic Mills That Shaped the American Economy) will be a good option if we were to be able to use it.

Book covers are fine, I believe. I take it you mean this?

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Now that Company Town has been repurposed through TRS, do any of the previous suggestions work for it?

7 has more information than 4, even if the difference is mostly in the text.

13.1 is just houses in front of a company. 13.2 is rather generic industry setting to me.

These two by this artist may be too urban; but have a strong industrial theme, plus a clearly visible company store.
