Any model train enthusiast will find that the game controls aren't true to real-life model trains. 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. 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. Simply click on it to change the direction and an arrow points the direction of the track. For instance, if you want to switch track, you place your pointer over the switcher and the icon will change shape. Likewise, the controls are very intuitive. The mouse pointer will change to various icons when a feature or function is available. While primarily and mostly mouse driven, there are some keyboard hotkeys that will help in some of the stickier situations (i.e. The controls consist of a point and click interface and are easy to manipulate. Yes, even the little red caboose is included. 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.
There are railcars for plowing debris off tracks and crane cars for fixing damaged tracks or bridges.
In addition to deliveries, you must also keep the tracks in good working order. You name it, it’s probably there waiting to be transported. 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. As in real life, each type of item needs to be carried in the appropriate type of railcar. There are tons of different types of items to be shipped - everything from toys to food to livestock to cars to even Santa’s sled. Some puzzles are against the clock while others will time how long you take to complete. The goals of each puzzle typically consist of one or more objectives including picking up items, transporting and delivering items, and repairing the tracks when and where needed. While the game is intuitive enough to play without the aid of these tutorials, you should play them anyway so you don’t miss anything or for no other reason than to at least get a blue ribbon next to them on the checklist.
