Railroader

Railroader, oh boy what a ride. First thought when I saw this was, "Oh cool! A multiplayer train simulator. This should be fun." A few blinks and I now have over 300 hrs in the game. This isn't just a train sim, it's on its way to being a proper Railroad management Sim. I enjoyed the map progression really gives you something to work towards. But what really blew me away was how this game switched from a train sim to a "management" sim. I often find myself "planning" how and when I want to run either my passenger or freight service. Very excited to see where the MOW update takes us. Wait a minute, custom timetables, managing multiple different consists, and a map you need to save up for and pay to increase, close enough, welcome back Railroad Tycoon. 10/10 "Stimulate the TISM."

Its a fun railroading game. Just waiting for the MOW update...

Your game won't load on my gaming pa

70年くらい前のアメリカの田舎の路線をモデルにしたゲームです。 貨車（と乗客）を指定された引込線（または駅）に運ぶと報酬がもらえて、それで路線を拡張したり車両を購入したりします。 似たようなゲームにDerail Valleyというのがありますが、あちらが運転操作のシミュレーションに凝っているのに対して、こちらはどちらかというと運転そのものより列車の運行をいかに効率よくやるかといった感じです。 AI機関士を活用して複数の列車を同時に走らせるといった具合。 なお貨車はごちゃっとひと固まりで操車場に配車されてくるので、入換作業からは逃れられません。また本線は端から端まで50マイル以上ありますので、とにかくプレイに時間がかかります。 運転操作はかなり簡略化されています。（蒸気機関車メインですがボイラー圧力の変化とか空転とか砂撒きとかはない、ドレンも見た目だけ、ブレーキがセルフラップ弁だったり） もうちょっと機関車の操作がリアルなつくりだとよいのですが・・・ 機関車の種類はたくさんいろいろな軸配置がありますが、単純化された操作のため特徴が分かりにくくなってしまっています。 外観もバルブギアのアニメーションがおかしいものがみられるのがちょっと残念かな。 風景も雰囲気は良いです。 が、鉄道施設と引込線のある工場など以外の街並みが無いので、駅によってはぽつんと駅舎だけあったりして殺風景です。 早期アクセスなので今後の改善に期待しています。

Ok this whole thing might sound a little silly but it was fun to do so I am sharing. So, I have this stalled C-55 pulling 3500 tons at 1% grade on Cowee with the direction towards Sylva. Tough spot, I was expecting a stall so I stationed the C-40 at Dillsboro as a banker. C-55 stalls, C-40 goes to the rescue, double heads, pulls. Result is 1mph up the grade without any fluctuation. That was extremely slow. A little later I decoupled the P-43 from the passenger service repairs at Dillsboro to send it to the aid of the other two. At this point it starts feeling like Interstellar. P-43 approach to couple while the slow uphill mammoth of a train approaches was easy at 1mph as I practically stop it, and it just rolled on to couple. Speed picked up to 11mph and the train had enough momentum. However, I wanted to return the P-43 to the service. So I get this idea to close the air pressure, and make decoupling easier, but I have to switch to manual camera because the follow camera can't get close enough. I do it. I follow the train coupling on manual camera ... now it's full Hans Zimmer vibes at the back of my head and try to close the pressure valve, so that I won't have a leak. Note, both trains are running on manual with no intention of stopping. Dillsboro is close, this could mean an accident with the cars parked there if I'm not fast enough. *Click* Damn, I decoupled by accident, ♥♥♥♥! The P-43 starts to move ahead, pulling the gladhand out. Pssssssss. ♥♥♥♥! Now it's more important than ever to close those valves! I focus on the mega train first, concentrate and match camera speed, mouse hovering carefully, I see the "open" and snap it, with one single move it moves back to "closed" - YES! did it. Quickly onto the P-43, still leaking but moving away, still manually controlling the camera. First attempt, no. Second attempt, YES! Both trains are on their way the P-43 smoothly cruising ahead, I switch the tracks to avoid the crashes, send the P-43 to service and the C-40/C-55 continue their 3600ton trip to Sylva. "Did I pull a slingshot with that P-43?" I am wondering.
