New Player- route question?

Post by Purrnellanella » Wed Aug 22, 2007 9:19 pm

I bought Railroads for my father who loves railroads, but is not familiar with computers or computer games- he is playing in Train Table Mode and is struggling with establishing routes. For example- he connects Las Vegas and two wineries with track; but when he goes to buy a freight train to begin the route from the first winery, to the second winery and then to Las Vegas- once he "clicks on" the first winery, all cities go from blue to black and he can't establish any routes except between the two wineries.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated !!!!

It might be that the track to the winery is to close to the station. Give the station track a little bit more track and then connect to the winery. The other possibility is that the winery track isn't connected to the station track correctly. If this is happening every time I would consider the first solution.

You might consider doing a Save Game and uploading it. Then we can really tell you what is up.
