Rolling Line

Rolling Line is a model railway simulator where you build layouts, explore them and drive trains. You can play on official layouts or thousands of player-made layouts, and create and share your own.

Explore and operate railways

Switch between human scale, where you can walk around the layout and operate tabletop railways, and miniature scale, where you can explore the whole layout and drive trains from inside their cabs. You can drive trains in human scale with handheld controllers, or push wagons along the rails to build trains. The trains include diesel, steam and electric locomotives, as well as freight and passenger wagons.

Official layouts feature scenery and trains from New Zealand, America, Brazil and other places around the world. The sandbox-style world lets you build custom tracks and scenery anywhere, with a dynamic day-and-night cycle and weather. You can also set up working signals, level crossings and overhead wires, and load and unload freight such as logs, shipping containers and other in-game props.

Build your layouts

Place track pieces, terrain and props such as trees, buildings, vehicles and shapes. Paint props and terrain with custom colors, and build hills and pathways from terrain chunks. Modding lets you import custom 3D models and textures for locomotives, wagons and terrain. You can also create electrical systems using logic gates, sensors, lights and other components.

Layouts can be built by hand in VR or on PC, which has additional map-making shortcuts. Layout saves are stored as plain text, so you can back them up, copy them between friends and share them. You can download and share layouts and train liveries through the Steam Workshop, which has over 7,000 layouts and over 20,000 mods and liveries.

Play together

You can play multiplayer through a public server browser, host private games with friends or play over LAN. The game supports both PC play and VR.
