How to use
Drag and drop your loco and carriages from inventory close to rails on a SLRR station or your private sim(s).
You will figure, they "jump" on the tracks, aligning in GUIDE direction. Don´t worry if they overlap when rezzed, they will keep distance after Start.
Wear the HUD for all functions.
Depending on the direction you want to go press Start or Flip and Start .

Like on RL trains, do start the stopping process early enough to stop the carriages infront of the stationbuilding :-). On dead ends EMERGENCY stop will help you not to "crash" your train !
Explore the mainland, show your land to friends or guests, be the engineer or make them run freely on your sim.
Much fun to you as we had creating this "Legend on Rails".

Thanks to Bibian for these wonderful creations. I have 2 steam driven trains (Orient Express and White Pass & Yukon RR) and the Rail Handcar running on my region and my friends and visitors and I enjoy it very much.
