Offside update:
During the renovation in the garden of Hotel Matamba, the outside seating area of the bar was extended behind the moved gate. At that time a hut appeared near Black Mamba. These and other seating options are an extension of the hotel bar.
It looks very cosy to me!

The „fences“ are just barriers to prevent the workers from adding more theming elements.

...just catching myself finding that joke a temporary highlight of the thread these days. I'm not sure if this is a good sign... ?
BTW, I was always wondering what the Y in F.L.Y. stands for. If the visible construction progress proceeds like this, I think it's: yawn...

I am not sure any more where i saw it, but someone said Flying Launch Yeet, and this is a horrible idea but at the same time some cursed part of me hopes it's true.

I think Flying Launch en then an invented word, i think fly wil be an invention of a steampunk character in the rookburgh area so maybe the “Y” would be the first letter of the name of the invention, maybe a german word.

The only real German word starting with Y is Yoghurt.

Well... The list of german words starting with Y is pretty short. So... no pretty sure it's not a german word.
And no. Yoghurt is Joghurt in german.

My favourite suggestion comes from rcdb, who say that F.L.Y. = Flying Launch Coaster...

Yoghurt is an alternative/outdated way to spell Joghurt.

Very fruitful discussion, I think now it is evident that F.L.Y. stands for Flying Launch Yoghurt.

The only German-sounding word on that list is Yamswurzel, so I hope it's that.

As amazing as some of these suggestions are I believe the name's meaning is far simpler, and the 'flying launch' matching the first 2 letters a coincidence.
F.L.Y. comes from the English word "fly".
The dots are presumably just a style thing as the project name for this newly invented flying machine by the Air Rail Company. Very much a 'does what it says on the tin kind' of name.

Anyone who believes the Y stands for anything other than Yoghurt is clearly not in their right mind.Forget Logic, Yo.

Even on the weekend work continues at Rookburgh. To hide the ventilation systems on the roofs of the hotel towers these curved covers are being added at the sides. Pictured is the back of tower 1 viewed from the street.
The backside of Hotel Charles Lindbergh's reception, which sits underneath hotel room tower 3, is receiving its final painting and detailing by Universal Rocks. The maintenance access balconies for the back of the tower's top 2 floors are receiving their permanent railings.
