British trains – Train Fever /forums/topic/british-trains/feed/ Wed, 30 Apr 2025 12:47:35 +0000 https://bbpress.org/?v=2.6.13 en-US /forums/topic/british-trains/#post-2477 <![CDATA[British trains]]> /forums/topic/british-trains/#post-2477 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 10:12:06 +0000 sub39h Hello to the developers,

 

I have recently come across this project and I am very excited with it. I rememeber playing Transport Tycoon for the first time and being hooked – similarly with Locomotion. No other tycoon games have ever come close to matching those games. Yours looks very promising indeed.

As I’m sure you’re aware, Chris Sawyer was British and thus locomotion had a large British following and contained British trains and railway practices. Whilst I can appreciate that British trains may not be included right away, I would certainly like to see it as DLC later on.

At the very least, the option to play the game in a “British” way would be appreciated, so vehicles driving on the left hand side of the road, being able to run trains on the left of dual track systems etc.

Another nice feature unrelated to the above would be to be able to build curved stations. Particularly in dense urban areas, stations often tend to be curved to maximise the use of space.

Anyway I look forward to further developments. Keep up the good work!

They said there are no plans for British trains at present :-(.

It won’t stop be buying the game, but it is a shame that the birthplace of the railway is being omitted from the game!

It’d be kinda stupid to have (i.e.) American trains with German streets, buses and trucks or UK trains with the cars still driving on the right side of the road.

Also, I think modders can make a UK pack too, since German and UK scenery look a like, exept the cars driving on different sides of the road.

Oh well, let the devs focus on the original game first! 😛

Below is just one of many british trains and carriages already approaching completion.

I am certainly not able to make user add ons, but British trains would make the game a billion times better imho!

I would like to see DLC packs that gave more variety of vehicles that can be used.

But I guess it was too much work to make traffic drive on the left side of the route in the London and Tokyo DLCs, too bad.

I’d really like to see the kind of DLC for T-F that CiM offered. I’d probably consider buying a UK-themed DLC or US-themed DLC. I wouldn’t just buy a vehicle pack from a country, exept if they’re low priced and aren’t completly out of place in a German-scenery (e.i. Dutch DLC or French DLC).

 

Oh well, I’ll probably wait ’til I get enough of the standard T-F and then look at mods first. I bet that the T-F community can make nice stuff as well (for free :P).
