Steam Wheels is built around the joy of steam trains and the ease of access to driving them. Steam Wheels takes out any complications and aims for you to experience steam as quickly and with as much fun as possible.
With that in mind Steam Wheels has two game types to cater to anyone’s play style, and game modes to make sure you never run out of steam.
Game Types
Cosy Mode - Love trains? Drive trains. It’s that simple! Use a wee knob like a model railway to drive whatever setup you have with your train. No fuss, all steam.
Steam Mode - More complex with the management of water, steam and speed as an additive balancing act as you surge along the line. Each engine feels different with their own personalities. Whether they’re built for speed, power or delicacy. Hand drawn controls from roaring fires to squeaky throttles will keep you busy as you navigate the world of steam.
Free Run!
Pick your train, select your stock and start driving, Ferry passengers or load up freight. Rain or shine, fog or sunrise. There are endless options in this mode for you to drive, steam and explore.
Night Mail.
Deliver mail up the country against the clock. Exploration of train setups is key here, which train and rolling stock can deliver fastest or most efficiently? Strive to beat your best times against gradients, falling temperatures and the many stops needing their mail!
Vs!
Race against the country’s fastest drivers! Choose your best train and stock setup and race against time and opponents.
Trains
Spanning all eras of steam trains and a few heritage diesels to boot, Steam Wheels aims to give the player a vast collection of driveable trains at their fingertips. Got an engine in mind? Let us know and we’ll try our best to put it in the game!
Rolling Stock
From early stages of passenger transport to creaky coal wagons, Steam Wheels has it all. Create your own set up before embarking on your journey; but be careful, don’t overload your train or you won’t be going anywhere fast.
Routes and Maps
Custom drawn, uniquely laid out maps await you in Steam Wheels. From foggy downs to spanning countryside. Where would you like to whizz through or to? The choice is yours!
We are a two person team using all our skills built up over the years; and of course our love for trains, countryside and heritage!
There's much more to come as we are in early development - so Follow and Wishlist to keep up to date with our wee trains!
