Some has attempted this earlier, but as I remember it, it had issues.

Do you want realistic train physics or just something that drives around on rails? The latter is significantly easier.

Also, I can see that you are new here.. So fyi there are a new forum emerging here.

We also have a wiki, and this thread holds links to most available T3D tutorials.

For now i want something that can accelerate and brake. some more realistic physics i will try sometime later. Also thanks for very useful links.

Mr. Duchovny ,
In case youve not yet seen this ,
A very nice T3D Guide Preview Written by Mr Robert Fritzen .

www.phantomdev.net/staff/phantom139/public/RFT3DGuide_PREV.pdf

This link can be found on community / Blogs
pg 8 .

I just put "train" in the search site box (up top) here are "all" results .

www.garagegames.com/community/search#gsc.q=train&gsc.ref=forums&gsc.tab=...

just in case . Many links are quite old but you never know . Good Luck .

A strange thing though . The link only pulled up 2 pages of related articles but , when I went back from pg 2 to pg one (using the backspace button not the pg 1 button) many more pages were listed some about rollercoasters and such , oh well :)

Well it looks like the long journey of searching and experimenting with Google and Torque. i'll make some coffee and start with my project.
Thanks! :)
