    I know we all have our wish lists, and unless there is a superhero called Train-Man or a blockbuster movie about Thomas the Train then my wish won't get much traction lol. But for a long time (let's call it four months) I've really really wanted to play a table themed around trains.

    You already have rails, so now they'd be tracks. There would be all kinds of different missions from collecting passengers to moving cargo to meeting scheduled stops and pickups. Everything you do builds your train empire and net worth. The art would look like Sid Meiers train game on the PC, or perhaps the Railroad Tycoon franchise style art. And it would have a shaker motor as well as shoot steam out the bottom sides of the table!

    The backglass would feature a train track with a train that moves around to different places to show your progress. There would be bells and whistles and the entire history of trains would be represented. You'd have to progress from steam to diesel to electric to.... In the upper playfield it would have a tunnel going out the back like LotR and lots and lots of humor.

    Ok, that feels better getting it all off my chest.

    What are your wish list themes that you don't think will ever be made (dont' say wizard of OZ)

    haha very cool!

    I've only really played trains on my PC, so far my compusive nature hasn't plunged in to miniatures 'yet'. Is it weird that I love train games but really have no desire to see them in real life?

    Quoted from Jackontherocks:

    I love the game play of CC and lay out of devices etc. I wish AC/DC was more like it. Also don't forget the train crash in TAF.

    Is CC a train theme, I know it's an old west theme... I guess I've never seen it or looked at it at all... but with pinball arcade supposedly releasing it next month I'll be playing it a whole bunch

    I played a bit of Sid Meier's Railroad last night, and I shouldn't have because now I really want a table just like it. Actually, I should probably not try and mix two different hobbies... as RCT shows it doesn't always come out the way you hoped it would?

    Still, in my imagination a RR table would be amazing.
