Does anyone have a reference list for the engines in RRT deluxe, with speed, horsepower, and year available?

One would think that the deluxe version was a decent improvement to the regular version.. But I don't think so.. Quickly went back to the original.

My main issue was the graphics. Each time I scroll in the deluxe version I sit around and see the screen paint itself layer by layer. The original game painted its graphics much smoother.

Also, the improved resolution does not seem to let you see anything more. They have just made grainier bitmaps using more pixels. I actually like the graphics of the original better too.

Really like the game though. The way one automize the trains and build tracks is great. Never liked the transport tycoon bits, adding all sorts of other boring transports.

I must have played this game for months worth of hours. It is actually still one of the best railroad-management games around.
I would pay a decent amount of money for a remake just like this one, not rrt2 or rrt3 (which were also good games) but a new top-down railroad management game with updated graphics, smooth zooming but keeping the top-down graphics, nice buildings, nice terrains, but not into the street-level zoom-level detail.

I would do it myself if I had somebody that could help me with the 3D models for the graphics. If someone here is capable of doing that, let me know! dirk A@T frixx-it D@T com
