Looking foward to getting home so I can try this out. I liked Railroad Tycoon 3, but for some reason I wanted to try a demo of Railroads before I got it (after hearing all the problems with it).

more track laying AI is definitely needed. This game has HUGE potential! I'm sure it will improve to awesome status with a patch or two.

I bought the full game and played MP for the first time. It has been so long that I've played an MP game where you aren't sending armies, tanks, planes, or any way being agressive in normal sense - felt weird, but was a lot of fun.

I hope they put out a patch for this for some performance optimizations and most importantly improvements to the track layout process. It's way too hard to get a switched track and have the trains do what they should.

spoiler:

all the maps are small size

Seriously though, try the demo. Maybe they are just aiming it at people other than RRT fans.

Trying. For some reason this makes me think of Rollercoaster Tycoon and Theme Park!, both of which I loved. So I'm hoping this has a similar appeal.

Cool, I never played the first one and I'm waiting for this one to come down in price. I'll check it out. I have loved the other Sid games I've played.
