Thanks for downloading BlenderTrain v1.1

There hasn't been many major changes apart from the steam loco, the coal now
loads automatically and you can switch to passenger cars and disable the 
coal loading system. The (un)coupling system is working OK but only uncouple 
on level ground as the cars have no brakes when uncoupled.

Any tips or suggestions are more than welcome, I can be contacted at

Just unzip to your desktop.Everything you need should be in this folder
and d/click on BlenderTrain2008.exe

You may want to experiment with your opengl settings for the best look
(try turning mipmapping off if poss)

The idea is to load up wih coal at the hopper making sure you have a full load
and run your train up to the power station at the end. Watch your speed here as the brakes 
don't work as well when you have a full load of coal.

If you go too fast or run off the end of the track the game will end 

If you are too heavy on the brakes you will lose pressure and you will have
to wait until the compressor pumps them back up.

You have to be powered right down to zero before you can change gear.
 
F = forward gear
R = reverse gear
n = Neutral gear
B = brakes

NumPad + = power up
NumPad - =power down

[ and ] to switch the points direction 

X to uncouple and there is a self-coupling system, just drive carefully 
into the cars to re-couple.

U = Unload coal (when over bin on bridge)

A = To switch to passenger cars and to turn off the coal hoppers.

D = fill up with diesel/coal (when near tank)

W = horn/whistle

Camera Views

KeyPad 1 = follows train, numpad arrows pan around and up & Down, keypad +- zooms in and out

Keypad 2 = driver out window, numpad arrows pan around and up & Down

c = cab view,numpad arrows pan around and up & Down

KeyPad 3 to help load coal and KeyPad 9 to help unload. Left and right panning with NumPad 4 and 6

KeyPad 0 puts you in the last coal car numpad 4 and 6 to pan around

KeyPad 4,5...8 various positions around track, these cams follow the train automatically


Have FUN
