Hard to play a Western game without some kind of transportation! We currently have covered and un-covered wagons, which is great, but it's not exactly a stage coach. I'm looking at using the funeral wagon from Wildwood Grove, but it's still not an 8-person living human transport vehicle.

Also, it would be great to see a Western train. I guess some fantasy sets have some tracks and mine carts, but again... wouldn't mind a steam locomotive, passenger cars, storage cars, etc.

Thanks again for all the hard work you guys do!

Yes, please.

What about the coach from ?
Does that help at all?

Of course they still do need a Steam Train.

a train passenger car that you can move through would be great

Canadrian, I would love to see your suggestions become a reality. Sadly, I can't see either of them happening soon or indeed, more likely for a long time to come.

I guess I'd start with Mayhem rail if I wanted the geometry and sizing, then use the Western sets or the Maiden for textures? Maybe steal tech for the engine from sci-fi sets?

It really depends on what you want to see in a train set - how detailed, how big is it (can you move figures on bases inside it, or is it lifesized and cramped?), and so on. A 19th century boxcar is 24 feet long, a passenger carriage is 55-60 feet long, and nine feet wide. What's that - 4 inches long by 1.5 to 2wide, and 10 inches long by 1.5 to 2 inches wide? Not gonna be fun to play in. You need to scale up a bit just to get your hand inside, let alone to add the interior detail.

For my Deadlands game I just went to the Local Toys R Us and bought one of the Trains they had works great for a scenery train and has track.

If I want to have them be IN a train, yeah would just use Deadfall TLX floors, and likely kit bash up interior/walls.

Stagecoach, just got a toy from the $1 store, works great.

Small models just don't work that great in Card stock for me...

The wagons and such I got at the dollar store are much better than the ones in Deadfall, no offense I just don't use them the toys work better.

So this set would have no interest for me.

No worries, CapnG, I'm not dissing WWG's approach (I love your stuff), It's the age-old problem of playing with models. If you want true scale, you can't really use figures stuck in various poses standing on plinths, they just don't fit.

If I were going to run a game on a train, I'd scale it up to a size I could fit figures onto, and probably cut the walls down for ease of access too. Guncrawl rather than First Light. Or, better yet, do it with TLX or Terraclips so all the walls were 'wild' -- that way I could make the cars closed, and open the ones the players are in...
