New stock trains
The latest v1.2 beta build has thirteen new stock trains, now bringing the stock set of trains to 20. The new trains focus on roles that weren't properly matched by the small, initial set of 7 trains.
Special focus has been put on smaller trains like shuttles, people movers and trams. Local networks are very important to the game mechanics, enabling longer distance travel by having more potential long distance pax spawned and by providing a base network to make steady income. But the base game only included one tram. This is now fixed with 6 new train sets that can fill this role, from the tiny Koala to heavy duty Elastic tram.
Another weak area in the basic train sets was long distance travel at conventional rail speeds. This is now addressed by the EM Inception / Tanager and the MochiStar, which are inspired by the long distance travel consists used in the USA.
Regional and intercity roles have also received some attention, with the North Storm 37, Senrik 7-UE, and Mihara Bahulu. These are a mix of older and newer train sets with a variety of capacities and performance.
These new trains are now available in beta version 1.2.14 in the Steam beta branch, and it will be made the default game branch in a few day if testing goes well.
If your favorite train is not in the stock set or you want even more variety, please also check out the NIMBY Rails Depot, our Steam Workshop, and the hundreds of amazing creations of the modder community:
