A lovely game where you can custom paint and design your own trains. Love the concept, and love how simplistic the game is. However, perhaps I do not have the patience to individually design the doors or stare at the screen making sure the row of train windows are aligned. The decals can be duplicated yes, though I do feel windows shouldn't be created by adding decals under the paint section. It would have been better if it was under the train part and it could snap to each other. Honestly 6.5/10. It is great but it could benefit from some minor addons. However, it is not really worth the price.9 found this helpful

When starting on your lead vehicle design, you can either use templates or begin from scratch. I recommend starting with templates for your first few projects, as it helps you understand the workflow more quickly. One thing to note: as far as I can tell, there’s no ready-made set of train windows to pick from. Instead, you’ll be working with templates or using existing decals to create them. The Workshop is useful here for importing decals and formations. Once you’ve completed your lead car, it’s easy to carry the design over to your passenger cars. Use the “capture from vehicle” option instead of starting with a template. The program will usually produce a close match to your lead car — a few small adjustments are usually all that’s needed to get it just right. From there, you can take that livery and adapt it to other engine classes or passenger vehicles. Change the color, tweak a few ele…5 found this helpful
