Model Railway
Coming soon to Steam · PC

The layout you never had room for.

A red steam locomotive and coaches at a country station with footbridges, signals, a goods yard and a turntable, and a viaduct in the distance

Shape your terrain, lay the track and crate your own model railway layout with platforms, stations, buildings, sidings, and scenery, then step into Drive and run your own timetable. A model railway game set in the British steam era, drawn like the 00 gauge kits you know.

  • Extending a bare green baseboard with the Baseboard tool, the new piece shown as a green outline over the floor

    Terrain › Baseboard

    Start with a bare board

    Every layout begins as a plain board on the floor of the club room. Hover an edge until it lights, drag it out, and click to add a new section. Designed to make it look like you're building on a real exhibition layout! Customise colors and lighting in your own exhibition hall.

  • A grassy ridge with a rocky cliff face and dark conifers along its foot, shaped with the terrain tools

    Terrain

    Shape the land

    Raise hills and lower valleys, smooth them off, or lay a steady slope for the line to climb. Match picks up a height with a right-click and levels ground to it, ready for a station yard. Easily create rivers, lakes and canals.

  • A grey stone viaduct being laid across the board, the next curved section shown as a see-through green ghost

    Track

    Lay your track

    Draw track in flowing curves, with realistic track radius, and gradients. Embankments, sweeping viaducts, bridges and cuttings. Single and dual track tools.

  • A BR green Britannia locomotive placed on the track, with the locomotive library along the bottom of the screen

    Trains

    Locos, wagons and coaches

    Pick a locomotive, wagon or carriage from the library and set it on the rails. Click the layout for a shunting engine, or a staging road for a train that will arrive later. Badges on the pictures show which pack a model comes from.

  • A road of red brick semi-detached houses with bay windows and gardens, chosen from the Residential buildings

    Buildings

    Create an authentic 1950s British village

    Civic, commercial, harbour, industrial, railway and residential buildings, plus ready-made set pieces. Every one is modelled like a card kit: red brick semis with bay windows, cottages, terraces, the station and the signal box. Roads, walls, trees and props finish the scene.

  • The Services panel: a service being set up on the left, and the timetable of services on the right

    Services

    Set a timetable

    Make up a train, choose where it pulls in from and where it leaves, and add the stops along the way. Each service goes on the timetable in order with its wait after the one before. Switch to Drive and they run to time while you work the yard. Create shunting jobs - build your own inglenook and timesaver shunting puzzles!
