- LOCO
"Loco" is a basic railway simulator, currently in an early stage of development, which allows me to run a single locomotive, couple/uncouple wagons, and operate switch points. The game is seeking support to become a fully-featured railway modeling simulation. Enthusiasts of train simulations should expect only fundamental elements at this point.
