As in real life, each type of item needs to be carried in the appropriate type of railcar. For instance, lumber needs to be carried on a flatcar with staves, liquids go in a tanker car, livestock rides in a stockcar, passengers in a passenger car or commuter train, etc. You name it, it’s probably there waiting to be transported. In addition to deliveries, you must also keep the tracks in good working order. There are railcars for plowing debris off tracks and crane cars for fixing damaged tracks or bridges. And what kind of train game would be complete without having to blow the whistle to remove cows from the tracks? In your adventures, you will run a Steam Engine, Yard Switcher, F3A, and a commuter train. Yes, even the little red caboose is included. The controls consist of a point and click interface and are easy to manipulate. While primarily and mostly mouse driven, there are some keyboard hotkeys that will help in some of the stickier situations (i.e. The mouse pointer will change to various icons when a feature or function is available. Likewise, the controls are very intuitive. For instance, if you want to switch track, you place your pointer over the switcher and the icon will change shape.
Simply click on it to change the direction and an arrow points the direction of the track. Also, uncoupling a car is as simple as placing the mouse pointer between the two cars you wish to separate (which will change the icon) and click. Each engine has three different speeds in forward and reverse which is controlled by simply moving the throttle to a speed in the direction you want the train to go.įrom the realist’s (or die-hard model railroader’s) point of view, there are some flaws in the game. Any model train enthusiast will find that the game controls aren't true to real-life model trains. In the game, the speed control is based on the actual direction the train faces on screen (if a train is facing right, the right side of the controls will move forward whereas if that train is facing left those same controls will move backwards). This is most likely something only purist model train enthusiasts would gripe about or have a problem with most others probably won't really care. #3D ULTRA LIONEL TRAINTOWN DELUXE HANDCART HOW TO#Īlso some of the turns laid out on screen would be physically impossible for some of these trains to take at top speed (or in some cases, at any speed) without derailing.
