A-Train9 TRAIN CONSTRUCTION

About this game

Everyone has dreamed at least once of their own unique railway vehicle. Now is the time to bring that vision to life.
"A-Train 9 TRAIN CONSTRUCTION" allows you to design everything from the shape and paint of your vehicle to the placement of intricate parts from scratch! Create a train that's uniquely yours.
Once crafted, you can set your creation in motion, snap photos, and share them with other users! Enjoy the charm of trains to the fullest with these enriching features.
Your dream train is ready to hit the tracks!

Make the trains of your dreams come true and customize them however you like!

• Vehicles: 65 different vehicle body styles are available for you. From freight trains to express trains, from streetcars to commuter trains to steam locomotives. Vehicles for all kinds of use from different eras.
  
• Vehicle Components: Customize your vehicles to pursue reality down to the finest detail. You can customize the train lights (change their size), the obstacle deflector, the train’s horn, its air conditioning, pantographs, head marks (can be painted), fall prevention fences, underfloor equipment, gangway connections, as well as smoke deflectors, sandboxes, bells and chimneys for steam locomotives.
  
• Wrapping: Combine stickers to decorate your vehicle and make your own creation freely! Use Japanese, alphabetic and numeric text and graphics (SVG files) of your own making.
  
• Windows: Customize the shapes and arrange the windows of your vehicle as you see fit. In "TRAIN CONSTRUCTION", you can even create unconventional designs that are difficult to find in reality!
  
• Trains: Connect the vehicles you have created and form your very own train. With each vehicle customizable individually, the combinations are truly limitless!

Try out and experience the potential of your trains in Test Drive mode!

• Maps: 4 types of maps are available: city, suburb, countryside, and space! Line up and operate up to 4 of your trains and find the map where they can shine the most.
  
• Manage your trains: Regulate their speed and direction and adjust railway junctions at your own will! Recreate departures and arrivals just like in real life to get yourself immersed even more in this world.
  
• Change time frame: Switch the time frame to either daytime, evening or night (except on the space map). Train windows and lights are lit during the night. Experience the different facets of your train depending on the time of day.
  
• Camera features: Change between 4 camera options: manual, train window, tracking and action; and enjoy your trains from dynamic perspectives as if you were actually there.
  
• Photo mode: Bring out the charm of your trains even further with the built-in photo mode! Set the lighting, adjust the angles and take the best photo that only you can take of your own train!

Share your creations and be a popular train designer!

• Upload: Show the world the vehicles and trains you created and upload the sticker sets (decal) you used for decorating them to the Steam Workshop. Share your thoughtful designs with others!
  
• Import: Try out trains created by others by importing them from the Steam Workshop. It’s a great way to enjoy many kinds of trains if you don’t like creating them yourself.
