Published Maps:
US at the Cross Roads
It's the late 1970s and the US railroads are at the cross roads. Passengers have been palmed off to Amtrak. There are plenty of good to haul, but can it be hauled profitably?
Col
du Mont Cenis
Build the first rail
crossing of the Alps and connect France and Italy, initially using a
rack mountain railway, and eventually the first of the great alpine
tunnels.
Chicago
North Shore Line
Build America's ultimate
interurban rail line between Chicago and Milwaukee.
The
Oodnadatta Track
Complete the rail line
between Adelaide and Darwin through central Australia.
This is the best of my
Aussie scenarios. I've re-created the vast distances, low
population, disperse resources and parochial/provincial guage
incompatibilities. Best of all, this map can be played to completion
in a single sitting.
Sri
Lanka
A production chain puzzel
set in the teardrop nation.
Australia
1910
(My first effort, ant it's
shocker. So please don't try this one unless you enjoyed all
the others!)
navigate the minefield of
Australian railway politics and guage incompatibilities to forge the
much needed transcontinental link.

Maps:
Building
America
Build the heart of
Americas rail network the way the Americans did: one company at a
time, and in the process become the world's first true billionaire!
This might look like a standard American map but after the first goal
it plays very differently. I think this is the most enjoyable of my
self made maps. I think it re-creates the feel of American
railroading, with it's multiple competing and sometimes co-operating
companies. The only problem is it takes a long time to play to
completion.
And don't forget to save
your game 10 years before WWII !!
Building
Australia
Build Australia's rail
network the way the aussies did: one state at a time! I tried to
re-create the feel of Australia railways with this scenario, with
it's parochialism and guage incompatibilities. I did. To win, you
end up creating a real mess!!! Again, this map takes a long time to
play to completion.
African
War
Use the power of rail to
conquer the Dark Continent in this military goal driven scenario.
It's a basically builder's
map, with different goals beyond just making a profit.
