Train Generator

Train Generator builds complete, detailed trains in one click, from a 1870s American 4-4-0 to a duckbill bullet train. Pick one of 29 ready-made trains: express, freight, tank and narrow gauge steam engines, a streamliner, diesel road freight, coal, intermodal and tank trains, a yard shunter, intercity and night trains, a boxcab electric, double deck commuters, high-speed trainsets, EMUs, a diesel railcar, metro and graffiti subway cars, modern and vintage trams, light rail, a monorail, a maglev, a funicular, a handcar and a logging train.

Then change anything and the train rebuilds live: the locomotive, how many cars of which kind, what ends the train, the gauge, the body length, width and roof, the nose, windows, doors, bogies, couplers, the livery, the operator name and the running numbers. Steam engines are built from their wheel arrangement, from 0-4-0 to 4-8-4 and Mallets like 2-6-6-2 and 4-8-8-4, as tender or side, saddle and pannier tank engines with valve gear, rods, cab, boiler fittings and tender.

Trains are made to move. The whole train runs along its track at the speed you set, wheels turn, coupling rods and valve gear follow, pantographs and trolley poles rise to the wire and the doors slide open with animatable sliders that play back without a rebuild. The track comes with it: rails, wooden or concrete sleepers, ballast, slab track, street track, third rail, catenary masts and wires, monorail beams and maglev guideways.
