Have you tried OpenTTD? https://www.openttd.org/

With the right group of friends, OpenTTD is a great way to spend a day building a massive rail project.

The OpenTTD Coop Wiki[1] is also very very good when it comes to advanced designs, signalling etc.

I haven't - will have to give it a shot.

Thanks for telling me about it.

Transport Tycoon (that this was based on) was also published by MicroPose. I don't know if Meier had any influence on the game though. Pretty interesting how much graphics improved in 3 years.

IIRC - Chris had been promoting the project that became TT for a while. He main work at the time was as a truly awesome 68k to PC porter. I remember a colleague telling me something along the lines of 'Chris should stick to doing ports, that is what he is good at. If he shows you some wierd thing with numbers and simulation, just ignore it'

Um.

I don't believe Meier had any influence in it. Chris Sawyer built the entire game by himself in assembly language.
