There’s nothing like a good old-fashioned train ride. Whether you’re a fan of the scenic mountain routes of North America and the verdant countryside and glassy lakes of Europe, or just the snack trolley that comes around every now and again with overpriced chocolatey snacks, everyone’s had that one train ride that sticks in their memory. Hopefully, it’s not one of the ones where you’re pressed into a stranger’s unwashed armpit in a carriage packed like a sardine tin.
But the real romance of trains lies in the past, when we had steam engines, with their beautiful clouds of billowing smoke and that gentle chug chug chug as they roll along the tracks. Chances are, when you think of trains, you can still hear that recognisable toot toot that signalled the arrival of one of these historic beauties. Just take a look at FoxSilver’s build, and you might be able to hear that distant toot toot again, coming from the steam engine pulling away from the beautiful, temple-like Zathrus Station.
