RCT Discussion / Is this custom miniature railroad out there?

  • UnoReverserCoaster%s's Photo

    I've seen a lot of different custom miniature railroad vehicles, but strangely absent has been 1, modern freight train cars, including diesels, and then, I haven't seen much 20th century style American locomotives.

    I'm working on a park right now that's meant to be a park built around a historic railroad, and my life would be made if I could find a D&RGW locomotive like those at Knott's Berry Farm - especially if the train had a caboose. That's obviously a super specific one, but I haven't found any 20th century American steam. If it is out there, does anyone know of it?

    If not... well, I guess it ends there. Seeing this in the game would make me immeasurably happy, as I am determined to turn a roller coaster game into one about making a historic railroad, but I understand making a custom ride like this would be very difficult - and I would basically have to learn 3D modeling first.

    I wish I had a solution to give you. I looked up Transport Tycoon but that has shallower slopes and primitive graphics so it wouldn't work. I hope you find a solution because I'd really like to see some new trains in game.

    I think my only real solution... is to just bide my time and hope that someone wants to make it with the skills to do so. Problem is, a large amount of people that play games like RCT and other simulation games tend to be from Europe - which is why for years train simulator games seemed to only feature the most famous american locomotives.
