A-Train9 Train Construction

A-Train9 Train Construction lets you design railway vehicles from scratch, then assemble them into trains and test them on different maps. You can customize each vehicle’s body, paint, windows, stickers and components, and take photos of your creations.

Design your vehicles

Choose from 65 vehicle body styles, including freight trains, express trains, streetcars, commuter trains and steam locomotives from different eras. Customize details such as the size of the lights, obstacle deflectors, horns, air conditioning, pantographs, paintable head marks, fall prevention fences, underfloor equipment and gangway connections. Steam locomotives can also have smoke deflectors, sandboxes, bells and chimneys.

You can combine stickers to decorate vehicles, using Japanese, alphabetic and numeric text as well as graphics you create in SVG files. Customize window shapes and placement, including unconventional designs. Connect your vehicles into trains, with each vehicle customizable individually.

Test your trains

In Test Drive mode, you can operate up to four trains on maps of four types: city, suburb, countryside and space. Control their speed and direction, and adjust railway junctions to create departures and arrivals.

Switch between daytime, evening and night on every map except the space map. At night, train windows and lights illuminate. Four camera options—manual, train window, tracking and action—let you view the trains from different perspectives. Photo mode lets you set the lighting and adjust the angles before taking pictures.

Share and import designs

Upload your vehicles, trains and the sticker sets used to decorate them to the Steam Workshop. You can also import trains created by other users.
