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

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

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

4/4 We'd genuinely love to hear from you as we keep figuring out what Model Trains should become. 👀 #ModelRailroad #ModelRailways

3/ For those of you already into the hobby: What pulls you in most? Building? Collecting? Operations? Designing layouts? The trains themselves? #ModelTrains

2/ One exhibit, The People Behind the Models, looks at the different ways people get into model railways. Beginners. Pioneers. Builders. Collectors. It got us thinking about our own community and what draws different people to the hobby.

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

2/ Once you're on the track, things can still go wrong. Take a curve or gradient badly and the train can derail. We're showing the train builder, train fleets, signals, speed limits and more this Sunday, Sept 20 at 22:30 IST. Subscribe to get notified: youtube.com/live/QDjdhAY...

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 model train part of this checks out completely. There's something about controlling a whole world at a scale you can hold that scratches an itch nothing full-size does 🙂

Second Quest @secondquest.games · 01/08/2026

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

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
