Hello friends! One more week is behind us and we are ready to tell you about the best works of the beginning of September. Our selection today has levels for every taste: short and long, simple and difficult. Let's see!

Did @gayetemp's mom know she would make a big contribution to our level collection? Unlikely, however, we see more and more new stories about her and about the old cities of the United Kingdom. @gayetemp made a new map and told another great story about her homeland. This is not the easiest level: in one version, you cannot use pause, in another, you cannot stop trains. We couldn't decide which is better, so you'll find both of these in the Featured.

A small puzzle by @LittleBear. You have pieces of this puzzle ‒ sand islands, and you need to connect them so that all colored passenger trains can reach any station. No wrong deliveries! A beautiful and warm level for these cool autumn days.

Maestro @The Good, The Bad and The Dudley is here again! We missed you. And we're sure you, too, have missed his long levels, which are so appropriate for dark evenings. (Okay, this noir is more for the northern hemisphere.) This is the classic one-hour level of Mr. Dudley: you have multiple functional areas, you start with the production of primary resources and gradually move further and further. Don't be intimidated by the toll stations ‒ you can definitely afford it.

And here is the best level of the week. @thomas recalls Mr. Dudley's long-standing trick: you have no start-up capital, you have to sell some property to build the first stretch of tracks. Here it is implemented gracefully, you do not have to look for random items, just start building tracks and you will have money. Apart from that, this level has excellent gameplay. There is a choice, there are limitations, there is a strict timing that forces you to look for optimal ways. Great job, @thomas! A €10 Steam gift card is deservedly yours.

It's been a great week! We have already started preparing the October special contest. Until then, we keep the same schedule: extra Let’s play together challenge on Tuesday and main Let’s play together challenge on Friday. See you, friends!

Hello everyone! Another month passed and we again chose the best level. In July, we held a special contest under the Minimalism motto: we demanded the authors to make simple levels no more than 10 minutes long. We expected people to miss the long levels after that and the levels would last an average of 30 minutes throughout August :) However, in the workshop we continue to find short levels with excellent gameplay and laconic decoration. Did you like them too? Today we will present to you the winner of August and this is exactly that level.

Dried contaminated land, industrial enterprises are chaotically spread over it. But once you start laying out tracks, you will discover how many moves you can make on this map. There are a lot of challenges for the player here: you cannot upgrade trains and you have to decide how to allocate the unusual amount of resources. This is a very laconic and at the same time deeply thought-out work. Congratulations @embRellish! We are happy to give you a €30 Steam gift card.

We are already planning a special design contest in October. Maybe you have ideas about it? We'd love to see your suggestions in the comments!

Hello friends! Every Friday 17:30 GMT starts “Let’s play together” challenge. We pick up a level and during 24 hours everyone is trying to get the best time on it. You just need to register once on our Discord server and keep Discord running while playing the level of the week, and your results will be automatically published in Discord #lets-play-together channel. You need to get 5 stars for beating the level.

Glittering prizes:
1) 3 winners get collectable cards - one random card per person. If you collect 18 locomotive cards, you can collect 6 new cards, and then 2 more special ones. When you collect all 26 cards, you will receive a special prize.
2) Any participant can win a card. Number or cards will depend on the number of participants: one card for every 10 participants. The more players, the more prizes! Your chances of winning remain high.
3) The winner will get a pin. Also lucky pin will be sent to one randomly chosen participant.

You can get more details on our Discord server (#lets-play-together channel).

Just open the game - it should be highlighted in the main menu.
Good luck everyone!

Hello friends! Due to the fact that many people are now forced to be at home in quarantine, we decided to add another one Let's Play Together in the middle of the week. This is an experimental competition. There can be different crazy levels. There will be no prizes. Perhaps this will last only for the period of forced isolation of people, but if everyone likes this LPT format, then we will extend this competition.

The rules are the same: log in to our Discord server, keep it running, play a competitive level and complete it with 5 stars. Have fun!

Hello! Choo-Choo Weekly has arrived again. It seems that summer has started quite recently, but today it ends. Therefore, we are in a hurry to tell you about the best works in our workshop over the past week, so that you can enjoy your first autumn evenings this year.

A slightly insane level by @Itsumi-chan that you are unlikely to complete on the first try. Also, we do not guarantee you that your second attempt will be successful too. It will also be quite difficult for you to figure out how to complete this level if you do not read the description. Well, we'll help you a little: see that park block, which requires 999 units of dynamite? Before the last train with resources enters the depot, remove this park. Done, you are a winner. You will find this unusual and challenging level in the Featured to come back to it again and again.

@gayetemp invites you on a journey through Wales in the mid-20th century (presumably). On the way, you will see everything: beautiful nature, many animals, castles and narrow roads without the possibility of turning. You will have to understand the complex system of tracks and in no way damage anything: the beauty of Wales must remain intact. Brew a large teapot, as this is a very large and deeply detailed map that will take you all evening. Thanks for the tour, @gayetemp!

Small map with roundabout traffic. This is where you have to puzzle over how to connect the sand quarry to the main road, but this problem has a solution. Well balanced level lasting 14 minutes. Great job, @embRellish! A €10 Steam gift card is yours.

Very soon we will choose the best level of August, but first we need to prepare another extra Let’s play together challenge for you. Stay tuned, friends!
