• I say we should be able to set the aggression of the individual trains. For example, you can have the "engineer" of passenger cars operate their locos along safety lines, while having the cargo trains operate for speed. Kind of like a scale from speed on one end to safety on the other. - Anonymous, 04/26/2002 22:11:59 [Reply]
• you should also have local trains with transfer cabooses, 3D views of places along the tracks, car-train crashes, having railroad service terminals visable on the map, having container and trailer loading facilities by harbors and busy terminals, telephone poles along the tracks, roads that go over the tracks(crossings), detaled cities and towns, and the ocasional RUNAWAY TRAIN!!!!!!!!!! - Nick, 04/26/2002 20:14:52 [Reply]
• i think that rt3 should have signals, locomotive and rolling stock you can paint in your favorite railroad colors, passing sidings, a bigger more realistic map, railroad yards, more choices of locomotives, smaller towns on maps, sidings that go into or by the industry(example:grain elavators, feedmills, factories, scrapyards, ect.)emd and ge demo locomotives, and longer trains. - rt2 player, 04/26/2002 20:05:42 [Reply]
• Regional economies: this would particularly apply to ports, and would allow ports in different territories to produce / demand different cargoes. Alternatively better interaction between supply and demand, so if a supplied good is regularly picked up it stimulates the production; conversely, if its left untouched production declines. - Wez, 04/26/2002 05:55:06 [Reply]
• How about being able to pay to build industries. Not resources as those are site-specific, but pay to have steel mill put or lumber mill put in at a certain city/station. - anonymous, 04/22/2002 23:01:59 [Reply]
• I would like to see flexible freights that can pick up and deliver multiple cargos. Pick up wheat and iron at one station, and deposit them at seperate stations, etc. - \rey, 04/15/2002 13:09:46 [Reply]
• have a 3D view of the startions, where we can design the location of the storage areas, the tracks in & out of the station itself, the different ressort areas, etc. - Anonymous, 04/15/2002 09:47:14 [Reply]
• have storage areas in stations where a train for examples unloads merchandise, and from there, another trains picks it up. - Anonymous, 04/15/2002 09:45:40 [Reply]

• 1. Be able to set priorities for a leg of a trip, not for train. 2. Be able to enter 'buy track/station' screens even if I can't buy (because I don't own company or not enough money) so I can check out station coverage or track grades. - Anonymous, 04/08/2002 12:01:03 [Reply]
• How about the possibility of a player buying an industry? Might make it easier to get that $20 million personal worth. - Anonymous, 04/03/2002 18:51:49 [Reply]
• Also, if a train goes over a distance with plains and mountains, it could be towed by an fast engine in the plains and replaced with a stronger one for the mountains - Mallet, 04/01/2002 10:55:14 [Reply]
• 27: anyway, keep the engines separate from the line. Would be cool to have a Stock of engines which could be designated for a line. If a train has technical probs, a replacemamt locomotive could be sent. Or an engine could be taken out of service for a certain amount of time and money for genral overhaul, improving safety, reliability and reducing maintenance costs - Mallet, 04/01/2002 10:54:45 [Reply]

• 21: also, cargo related facilities should actually store stuff like milk, wool etc 22: possibility to build industrial facilities if space available, like in RR1, but should be limited in some way 23: once again, because its important: for better overview, the train and stationlists are in dire need of a redesign! - Mallet, 04/01/2002 10:52:42 [Reply]
• 18: more backgroundinfo for engines 19: more station designs 20: overgo the whole system of station add-ons. 25% more passenger revenue with a big hotel etc is bullshit. additional revenue should depend on size of City, so no more need to pack every station with big hotels, restaurants etc. - Mallet, 04/01/2002 10:51:56 [Reply]

• My suggestions: 1. more Locomotives 2. tunnels, and not only singletrack like in RR1 2. a big Station should be able to handle more than one train at a time 3. more sophisticated priority, 3 arent enough 4. engines appearing later in the game should REALLY be better in performance 5. the possibilit to define the position of the train or station in train or stationlist for better overview, eg - Mallet, 04/01/2002 10:45:44 [Reply]
  • eg taking freighttrains together, passenger as well etc VERY IMPORTANT! with the current system it’s a pain to manage 200 trains! 6. stationmenu should show which trains go through 7. more than 6 cars 8. double or even triplehead trains 9. doubletracked bridges, ferries for longer distances over water, trstles over valleys 10. possibility to spend money in the game for R & D for better locomotive - Mallet, 04/01/2002 10:46:44 [Reply]
    • 11. cooler and bigger pics of engines and trains, best would be the possibility to costumize color, logo etc of the train in game 12. a traindesigner implemented into the editor whre u can make ur ownt engines, putting in pictures etc. 13 possibility of terrain engineering in game, in a limited way of course and expensive, level small hills, raise little valleys or small bodies of water etc 14. bu - Mallet, 04/01/2002 10:48:05 [Reply]
      • 14. building tracks should take time In game, eg you do the planning and after and after the tracks grow, fast in plains, slower for mountainrails etc random events could slow down the progress even more, like workers strike, desasters etc. bonuspayments could speed up the work etc. 15. narrow gauge light railways for local delivery like coal mines etc - Mallet, 04/01/2002 10:48:52 [Reply]

• I have 2 wishes for RRT3-1) pickup cargo at one station, proceed to the next station WITHOUT dropping off first cargo. Pick up additional cargo at 2nd station and proceed to 3d station and drop both. AND/OR Start at station 1 with full consist, go to station 2, drop part of consist off and proceed to station 3 with remainder of consist from station 1 and anny additional consist from station 2 - Greg Knightes, 03/10/2002 17:52:13 [Reply]
• I would like to see RRT3 have the following features: 1) the option to upgrade a large station to a double-sided station (i.e. four tracks), 2) an option for double-heading trains, 3) an option for using bankers on steep inclines, 4) flyovers and 5) the oldest established company having 'right of way' at crossovers. - Hugh Stiles, 03/05/2002 13:57:52 [Reply]

• locomotive reliabilty should start at at good for all locomtives and is determined by how well the player takes care of the engines ie. have engine shops to take care of locomotive needs this allows the player use of all engines without a lot of breakdowns or crashes - railman, 01/27/2002 12:20:34 [Reply]
• Train cargo value should not go down as the train travels. It should have the same worth and decrease once or twice "ONLY" if the train is very late getting to its destination. This would allow a user to have "premium" priced intermodal trains and "whenever it gets there" priced manifest freights. Then we could use that 1-9 priority numbering system I spoke of a while back. - YNOT, 01/24/2002 02:46:44 [Reply]
• The AI never seems to attempt a hostile takeover even when they are a major shareholder of your company's stock. Again let's stress that the AI needs to be improved from an AI thats just out to make money for themselves, to one that runs the hell out of its RR, and competes againsts you and other AI opponents for the ENTIRE time the scenario is running. - YNOT, 01/20/2002 15:22:17 [Reply]
  • One way to improve AI would be to have them build routes on logical grades (not higher than 4%), i've seen the AIs rails on 12% grades; why not just strap sandpaper to the rails?!?!? - YNOT , 01/20/2002 15:38:26 [Reply]
• line-based instead of train-based. like in traffic giant. you can set up lines, and assign trains to it. also the stations should be more like in rt1: so you could make trains that stop everywhere, or make through, express and limited trains. But: this should be seperated of the size of the area stations service: that should depend on how many you invest in public transp to that station in th city - wicher, 01/19/2002 07:27:57 [Reply]
• Many of the ideas already listed would greatly enhance and improve upon the standards set by RT2. These include multiple platforms (a la Transport Tycoon), perhaps major Terminals (as in literally terminating like real stations such as Paddington in London). I don't know if this has been mentioned but I think a massive improvement would be to transfer the game to a real time 3-D environment.... - sf, 01/16/2002 08:26:07 [Reply]
• My biggest wants are quadruple track (fast/slow or pass/goods), more tracks in stations, rack railway & narrow gauge, tunnels/cuttings/embankments and.......the return of signalling from the original railroad tycoon - so that lines are split into block sections and only one train is allowed in the section (two trains if double track, 4 if quadruple etc) - Nigel Prymak, 01/13/2002 09:16:33 [Reply]
• More station tracks, grand central station, track cuttings & embankments to level track within reasonable limitations. Track flyovers, bigger and multiple track bridges.

• Why does an unsuccessfull INDUSTRY cost the same as a SUCCESSFULL one? For example, I wish I could purchase a STEEL MILL for $400,000 when it's not performing well, then service it, and end up with a STEEL MILL gushing cash, and worth $800,000. The game adjusts the stock of your company based on how it's performing, the same would be GREAT for industry. - Andy Dahl, 01/02/2002 14:57:58 [Reply]

• If RT3 needs anything, it needs tunnels. Mountain ranges are very hard to navigate through in RT2. Also, i agree with Jose, a station designing section would give a touch of individuality to each players map, especially when traded over the web. Also, how about a loco designing program, where paint schemes could be designed to create a separate scheme for each line, as it is on real trains. - Richard Standish, 12/29/2001 18:44:53 [Reply]

• well... narrow gauge would be VERY nice (I live in Switzerland where the Rhaetian RR is a narrow gauge RR with nearly 400 km of narrow tracks.). Then I thought about the possibility of upgrading a station: you start with 2 tracks and you add more in case of need as we do in RRT2 with the additional buildings.

• How about being able to set a train priority when you set up a train's route (at stations and even at waypoints).

• Limited number of locomotives of each type avaialable. I play this way now and it sure adds a lot of strategy to the game, forcing you to optimize the routes. Also, limited number of loco's per shed. Railroads must ship their own feuls, coal, diesel and the elctrical supply from a city depends upon the size. Thus, stock piling might be necessary, or buying a mine or plant. - Lee, 10/25/2001 17:17:17 [Reply]

• Have different quality of track. Track should be able to be upgraded from 30mph to 50mph to 70mph for example, each costing more money and more in annual maintenance. Likewise, if traffic levels fall, maintenence can be deferred until the track deteriorates to the lower level to save annual expenses. Also the ability to single track former double track for the same reason. - Julian, 10/17/2001 12:22:01 [Reply]

• Instead of bringing up a picture of the station when you zoom in on it to build a Water Tower etc., it should bring up a map of the city like in the main game, so you can build track inside the city - eg having to build track to a Bakery to be able to take grain to it. It would also let you build more tracks in the station itself to handle extra traffic. - Hobo, 09/23/2001 21:19:03 [Reply]

  • Also, you would only be able to build track in this view as far as the station size you seleced while in the main game window - eg, you would be able to build more track inside a Terminal than a Depot. When telling a train were to go however, it would be the same as in RT2, but if you hadn't built that track to the Bakery, you wouldn't be able to drop grain off at that particular station. - Hobo, 09/23/2001 21:24:09 [Reply]
