One derailment became a traffic jam. Then we caused another derailment. Excellent progress. Railyard Diaries 10 🚂 #ModelTrains #TrainSimulation

Second Quest @secondquest.games · 28/09/2026

Why did the train stop? Turns out it wasn't broken. It was the block. In Model Trains, we're building railway blocks and signals into the simulation so trains know when to stop and when they can keep moving. What railway system should we tackle next? #ModelTrains #TrainSimulation

Second Quest @secondquest.games · 24/09/2026

What actually makes a train formation work? In Model Trains, we're trying to make that more than just a visual check. Coupling, braking, traction and the relationships between carriages all matter. What would you want the game to catch when you're building a train? #ModelTrains #TrainSimulation

Second Quest @secondquest.games · 23/09/2026

There’s something very satisfying about watching a little railway world come together. 🚂🌾 Tracks, farms, trains, windmills and plenty more still to build. This is Model Trains. #ModelTrains #ModelRailway #ModelRailroad

Railyard Diaries 10 is now available. 🚂 We get into modular trains, Train Fleets, signals, blocks, speed control and an early look at the Dispatcher. Plus the beginnings of Showcase for community creations. Bonus: The derailments 😂 Watch: www.youtube.com/live/QDjdhAY... #ModelTrains #GameDev

1/ One of our deliberate stops after Gamescom was the Spoorwegmuseum in Utrecht. 🚂 We're building Model Trains, so visiting a serious model railway collection was high on our list. We want the game to be enjoyable for different kinds of people who love this hobby.

Second Quest @secondquest.games · 16/09/2026

We built a rollercoaster track for a train in #ModelTrains. It derailed. So we rebuilt the track, tried again, and eventually got the train through the curve clean. Build it. Break it. Figure out why. Try again. #ModelTrains #GameDev #SimulationGame

Second Quest @secondquest.games · 15/09/2026

1/ Build your own train in #ModelTrains. As you assemble it, the game keeps track of the formation's physical properties and checks whether the whole train can actually run. Build something that doesn't work and it tells you what broke.

My first Gamescom 🎮🚂 Huge thanks to Parker Wallace at @getwigi.com for the Scholarship! I was in Cologne with @secondquest.games 🚂 telling everyone “we got trains” and watching their faces light up. Got stung by a bee. 🐝 Survived. Rode WAY too many trains. 🚆 #WomenInGames #ModelTrains #Gamescom2026

The best simulation games aren't about a single feature. They're about how hundreds of small interactions come together to create a world that feels believable. That's the experience we're building with Model Trains, one step at a time. 🚂 Steam wishlist coming soon. #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieGame

You sculpt the terrain. You lay the tracks. You populate the world. Then you run your trains through everything you’ve built. This is Model Trains. 🚂 #indiegame #modeltrains #gamedev #sandboxgame

Second Quest @secondquest.games · 02/07/2026

Push a train too fast into a curve and it will leave the rails. That's not a bug. That's the whole point. This is Model Trains. 🚂 #indiegame #modeltrains #gamedev #sandboxgame

Second Quest @secondquest.games · 30/06/2026

We just dropped our new teaser. Sculpt terrain. Lay tracks through hills, bridges, tunnels. Then watch physics decide if your train survives the curve. This is Model Trains. 🚂 Watch the teaser: youtu.be/_8kLfe3qTiY #modelrailway #modeltrains #modelrailroad #sandboxgame #gamedev #indiedev #trainsim

So @ninjha.bsky.social has been running art experiments on Model Trains this week. Lighting, textures, fog, just figuring out the mood of the whole thing. Still prototype. Still rough. But that golden hour though. 🌅🚂 Getting closer to the feeling we're after with every pass. #gamedev #modeltrains

Second Quest @secondquest.games · 16/05/2026

Prototyping game UI is tricky. Mocking things up without real interaction and data always feels a bit distant @yadurajiv.com went back to Figma Make for our train manager and it just... clicked. Working prototype, lots of iterations, couple of hours satisfying 🚂 #indiedev #gamedev #figma

Second Quest @secondquest.games · 14/05/2026

Trees that animate as they appear. Dirt that displaces as track gets constructed. @kinshuk.live and @ninjha.bsky.social on the small details that make building in Model Trains feel genuinely satisfying. #indiegame #modeltrains

Vivek walks through Precision Guides showing exact distances, angles and alignments as you lay track. @kinshuk.live’s reaction at the end says it all. #indiegame #modeltrains

Second Quest @secondquest.games · 11/05/2026

For @kinshuk.live adding real trains meant walking through the history of railways just to find the right locomotives for Model Trains.This is just the beginning. #indiegame #modeltrains
