this stuff is awesome =D thanks. But the real question is: where are the models so i can really have fun with them. oh and what model format are they

[Anarchemitis]

@Trainguyxx You'd have better luck Googling that.

Ironically, this game will work with Windows 7 which has a Windows XP emulator. I tried this fix, but I can't find the "railroads.exe" file. Is it on the DVD or on the hard drive ?

[Anarchemitis]

@ccolimon

It will be in the hard drive, inside a folder called "2K Games" in Program Files.

You can't edit the DVD.

someone has an idea of how to run this game in Vista???

[Anarchemitis]

@MrWagx

The second half of this video covers that.

Starts around 2:30 I thinks.

@Trainguyxx i wouldnt worry, railroads has missing a *&itload of features rt2 and 3 had that make routing trains and laying track easier... and as for the fix, that was then, since then microshaft released a fix for vista in service pack1 to address the issue and do the same thing and the game still crashes now and then with the stock game but with the mod intercontinental it crashes nearly every time you try to place a depot or annex, even when paused.. it just crashes as soon as u unpause.

[Trainguyxx]

@wilfdarr well there's that and railroad tycoon 3 ='( i badly want to play that

[Trainguyxx]

@Anarchemitis =( well so far i havent found any tutorial on how to make/ import myself, just links to people letting people download their own files

[iloveroundabouts]

gave this a go and it worked fine till about 90 minutes into the game(before it crashed within the first 5 minutes) and froze like it did without the mod, ah well.
