FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions. If you have any questions about the rules of the game, then please check this section to see if it has been asked before. If it does not help you, then please email and we will try to answer, the FAQ will then be updated to include the new information.

Trainspotting

This is a reference section that I hope will help players when they do not have the game at hand and want to discuss some aspect of the game (such as the cost and number of trains or the start base of a particular Corporation). There is a lot of information packed away in these tables.

Pictures

This may include photographs of the game and components, if it is a gamekit it may include drawings as well. The link will bring you to another menu where you can select which picture you wish to view, file size will be noted against each link so you can have an idea how long it will take to download.

Review

I hope to provide reviews on all aspects of the game (from gameplay to production issues). If anyone wished to contribute to this section then please email with an article, short or long, positive or negative views welcome.

Availability

Primarily for gamekits, this will give the contact address plus any other information know about the current cost and status of the game. If the game has been commercially produced, it will state if it is still possible to obtain in Hobby Shops, if know the print run will be given.
