Build a train from the body up
You resize lights, add horns, air conditioning, pantographs, gangway connections and underfloor gear, and for steam engines, smoke deflectors, sandboxes, bells and chimneys. Combine the finished vehicles into a formation, each car customized on its own, and the combinations keep going as long as your patience does.
Take it out for a test drive
Test Drive mode gives your creation somewhere to stretch its wheels, with city, suburb, countryside and space maps, up to four of your trains running at once. You regulate speed and direction and work the junctions yourself, staging departures and arrivals as neatly as you please. Four cameras, including a train-window view and a tracking shot, plus a photo mode with lighting and angle controls, make it easy to admire your handiwork. Or just let it roll past while the old series music plays.
Decorate it, photograph it, share it
Wrapping is where the personality goes on. You layer stickers, Japanese and alphanumeric text, and your own SVG graphics into a livery, paint head marks, and snap photos of the result. You line up your downloaded formation on the map that suits it best, which counts as curating. Some assembly required, all glory yours.
Good to know before you build?
Is this a tycoon game with management?
No. There is no company to run, no budget to balance and no visitors to please. It is a vehicle customization tool with a test track: you design trains, run them on four sample maps, take photos and share them. Tycoon fans will like it for the rolling stock itself, not for running a business.
What can you actually customize on a train?
A lot. Body style, paint, window shapes and placement, lights, obstacle deflectors, horns, air conditioning, pantographs, head marks, fall prevention fences, underfloor equipment, gangway connections, plus steam parts like chimneys and bells, then stickers and text for decoration. Vehicles join into formations you design car by car.
Where can you run the trains you make?
You control speed, direction and junctions, change the time of day, pick from four camera views and use photo mode. Creations can also be brought into A-Train 9 V5.
