Hang out around the same little railway
Multiplayer works through a public server browser, or a private game between friends and over LAN. You meet inside the same layout, in human scale standing over the table or shrunk down to miniature scale walking between the tracks.
One of you can drive from the cab while the others ride along, operate hand-held controllers, push wagons around by hand, load logs and containers, or just flip signals and watch. With day and night cycles plus weather on top, an evening session can turn into standing in the dark watching your friend's headlight round the hill.
Thousands of layouts to visit together
The built-in official layouts cover places from New Zealand to America and Brazil, and the Workshop holds thousands of player-made layouts plus mods and custom paint schemes for trains. Subscribing makes them appear in game, and save files are plain text so they are easy to copy and share.
That matters for co-op friends because there is always somewhere new to load up without anyone having to build it first. Pick a sprawling logging camp, a city loop, or something odd with working circuitry and level crossings, then take turns driving diesel, steam, and electric trains with freight and passenger wagons.
What can you do together?
Do you have to build anything to have fun?
No. You can spend whole sessions on official layouts or Workshop layouts made by other people, driving, riding, loading freight, and changing time and weather. Building is there when you want it, with track pieces, terrain chunks, trees, buildings, vehicles, paint colors, and custom 3D models through modding.
How does driving work when you are together?
Trains run like a hobbyist's model railroad. You can push wagons by hand to make up a train, take control with hand-held controllers, drive in human scale or from inside the cab in miniature scale, and set working signals and level crossings. It is sandbox play rather than rounds or scores, so one friend drives while the others switch points and ride.
