Abstract: We give an explicit construction of vertex-transitive tight triangulations of $d$-manifolds for $dgeq2$. More explicitly, for each $dgeq2$, we construct two $(d^2+5d+5)$-vertex neighborly triangulated $d$-manifolds whose vertex-links are stacked spheres. The only other non-trivial series of such tight triangulated manifolds currently known is the series of non-simply connected triangulated $d$-manifolds with $2d+3$ vertices constructed by K"{u}hnel. The manifolds we construct are strongly minimal. For $dgeq3$, they are also tight neighborly as defined by Lutz, Sulanke and Swartz. Like K"{u}hnel's complexes, our manifolds are orientable in even dimensions and non-orientable in odd dimensions.
