Mutants, sadly, take cover at the sound of the horn.

And the ‘mind the gap’ announcement.

This story stood in my random story box, check the picture.

I demand a stalker/trainsim cross gaming mod, our offspring will not be allowed to face off in this mod until they are 8. 8 because mutants are not so scary when you are driving a 50 ton steel titan.

Does this game offer any kind of multiplayer? Our offspring should have some kind of faceoff, first to escape the geographical area of a town wins- or something.

The winner will get sweeties and a printed out “#1″ on A4.

Can’t be too hard, as my four-year-old likes taking it for trundles around the underground.

I’ll admit that there isn’t much ‘stopping’ going on, but the horn and windscreen wipers seem fairly intuitive.

Barring leaves on the line at Surbiton

The number of times this has affected me in RL is too high. :(

I’m not sure who would want to use BVE to simulate the Northern Line though. It’s already as miserable as it can get as a passenger.

@Pepper. Ah, I see. Little blighters. Not a very imaginative solution though.

@Ziv Have you tried driving Birmingham X-City South in a Class 323? All you need is the route installer from this page:

And the Class 323 (openBVE beta version) dl from this one:

Sounds like a trainspotters dream, especially since if you do the real thing now you’re apparently a terrorist.

well, got tired of it. how hard does it have to be to install routes? I managed to get the trains but there aren’t any compatible routes and those that are don’t work…..
can someone just upload a working zip of the game w/ trains and routes?

Train sims are the only game i let my three year old daughter ‘play’. She loves them. I think it’s her grandads genes coming through. My father in law used to drag his two girls along to see steam trains and even just ‘rare’ goods trains. They hated it at the time but nowadays they do get a bit giddy when they see a steam train (one goes past my front door once a month).
