  We give an explicit construction of vertex-transitive tight triangulations of
$d$-manifolds for $d\geq 2$. More explicitly, for each $d\geq 2$, 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 $d\geq 3$,
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.
