Title: Train Games (for the interim)
Post by: EXTspotter on June 02, 2008, 07:29:38 pm: There are a number of obvious ones, however one of the best (now extremely cheap games) is the sequel to the DOS classic Transport Tycoon, Locomotion.

There are lots of premade scenarios and vehicles (including planes and trains), but these can be supplemented by user created vehicles and modifications, which make the whole game more realistic. A few of the best packs can be seen on amitrains.co.uk , these include the A320 Pack with colours for many major airlines, including the delights of a Ryanair A320! Also the British Rail and US Packs are very good.

I have made a scenario and map for it too, here is a link to its thread on one of the main places in the Transport Tycoon/Locomotion areas, tt-forums.net.

There is a screenshot of one of the stations in my scenario of the Devon Metro.

Any good, recommend it? Where do you get it? What price?

Post by: EXTspotter on June 03, 2008, 05:53:26 pm: Its is a PC CD Rom

I would reccomend it. In the UK, you can get it for as little as £5 from shops like Game. In the US you can download it directly from atari.com. As well as eBay...

You can get TTD off the internet for free, but Locomotion is a prettier game.

I modified the ingame Boeing 777 to have Boeing 767 and 787 stats, its in the Lomo mods/graphics section somewhere.
