Railway King: Train Builder

Build a model railway empire on your real table. Commuters and fares, three lines, and a century of real railway history — from the Steam Age to the crown.

Railway King turns your real table or floor into a living model railway on Apple Vision Pro — part cozy diorama, part railway tycoon. You inherit a struggling little railway in 1830. Grow it into a three-line empire, steer it through a century of real railway history, and race to be crowned The Railway King.

Set the railway down on your table, then drag straight and curved track from the tray onto the grid. The moment a line is complete — a closed circuit or a simple A-to-B run — the train sets off on its own. A railway needs passengers: place houses for residents and a different-coloured mill or office for them to commute to, then watch the little figures ride your line and pay their fares.

Each year the board grades your costs against your fares. Beat the target for a dividend, then reinvest — longer carriages and faster engines to carry the crowds, bigger platforms, busier buildings, finer scenery, and more land to build on. Spread your stations out: the longer the journey, the bigger the fare.

And history is coming. Railway Mania, the unions, the Grouping of 1923 that grants you a second line, Nationalisation in 1948 that grants the third, Beeching's axe, the oil crisis, Privatisation — the real story of the railways arrives year by year, each event a turn in yours. Build your fortune up the ladder of noble ranks; reach the top and you are crowned The Railway King.
