Early Rail #3: The Rocket
Early Rail #3: The Rocket
This is a series of mods that opens up 50 years’ worth of gameplay. In conjunction with the Early Start mod, you can now start in 1800 with a full roster of vehicles. Each of these mods can function separately, and the whole set is not required.
The Rocket
Probably the most iconic early locomotive. Follow the development of the simple 0-2-2 Rocket Type all the way from the nominal Rocket to the first modern locomotive, Northumbrian.
The vehicles in this pack will allow you to see the development of a single type of locomotive in the year 1830. All locomotives are available at the same time, however, months separate each iteration and improvement. Technology was advancing at such a rate, the game could not keep up with its yearly releases.
Vehicle list:
The Rocket (1829)
The following are all available in 1830:
