I have just bought a copy off eBay, it is a spiritual replacement of Transport Tycoon (it was for DOS for anyone over the age of 30), I was wondering if anyone has Locomotion or Transport Tycoon or did in the past and what they thought of them.

You can download Transport Tycoon for free off the internet at http://download.transporttycoon.net/

There is a link to the download for windows at the bottom. On TT, I am addicted to the Westcountry 90201 map in the temperate zone, as I live near Exeter on it. I currently have an 8 platform train station, with bus station and airport to the north side of Cardiff, my base for operations, with services on Class 150 (Sprinters) renamed Dashes in the game to Swansea (3 on the route), Merthyr Tydfil (2 on the route), Abergavenny (3 on the route), Ross on Wye/Gloucester (5 on route, 2 stop at Ross and 3 are direct to Gloucester). I also have a circular route around Cardiff, with 12! Class 150s. On top of this I have an HST (Intercity 125/Class 43) service from Cardiff to Bristol with 6 HSTs with 10 Passenger Carriages and 5 Mail coaches each. The Bus Stop services the innermost part of Cardiff and the Airport has service to Swindon, Bournemouth, Plymouth, Exeter and Worcester on F100s.

The best part of the upgrade to Locomotion is the better graphics.

Isn't it great

I always play on uk-style maps with actual trains from amitrains:

amitrains.co.uk

They have american and canadian as well.

I would share a photo of my 18 carriage DMU (its 9 seperate DMUs from the sprinter family all coupled together. It accellerates well, but it only does 75mph, compared to at least 95mph of all the other trains in the network, so it causes queues).
