Early Train Question

Post by VirlomiEntreri »

I'm trying to get into this, but I really want to go through the older trains and work my way to the present/future. Is there a train set that starts in the early 1800's? Maybe even the first steam engines like Trevithick's or The Rocket, the Salamanca, Coalbrookdale, etc?

UKRS + Early Rail
viewtopic.php?t=41132

UKRS starts in 1830.
Early Rail starts in 1812 with slow experimental locos.
I like trains. They are soothing.

UKRS2 starts in 1830, and NARS2 starts in 1837. Iron Horse starts in 1860. Other sets might have some early start dates too, you can look through this list for the majority of sets available here.

Thank you guys. It's not quite what I was hoping for, but the horse drawn wagons on tracks is neat for being pre-1700's. And getting an actual steam engine (albeit a cruddy one) in 1802 is awesome.

Thanks. =)

Edit: Any multiplayer servers that use these early starts for fun?

600mm narrow gauge have horse pulled minecarts since 1700, other horse drawn carriages are available later, first steam locomotives from 1850.
It can be used as auxiliary set for other normal gauge sets, especially for short range mine to harbour transits etc.
