This new trainmap app thing seems to be doing the rounds with the train crew folks amongst us, so here’s my route card 1998-2026.

Not a bad collection of worked railway mileage, and some proper historical lines on there too!

This new TrainMap app thing seems to be doing the rounds amongst the train crew folks, so thought share our own route card.

2000-2026.

Not a bad collection of mileage.

Some proper historical journeys on there too. And the occasional extended break at the buffet.

Many of these early collaborators moved on to other things. We haven't published a new Brian Train game in five years; Ania and John each got out of working on games altogether. But Scheldt reminds me of all our colleagues who were with us at the start.

Brian Train's The Scheldt Campaign was our very first release. If you want something a little meatier - terrain effects to consider, special unit rules, and the grinding attrition of clearing out German guns to open allied supply lines - this is a good choice.

Když si z Brna dělají legraci Pražáci, je to národní kolorit, ale když Brno označí na mapě jako průjezdní zastávku mezi Prahou a Vídní v zahraničí, je to…realita? Nevím, diskutujme.

Restore Island Rail

@restoreislandrail.bsky.social

This is the simple train map we could have on Vancouver Island. It was, after all, originally the only way to navigate Vancouver Island on wheels before the #1 highway was initially constructed in 1912.
