Early Rail #3: The Rocket
This is a series of mods that opens up 50 years worth of gameplay. In conjunction with the Early Start mod, you can now start in 1800 with a full roster of vehicles. Each of these mods can function separately, and the whole set is not required.
The Rocket
Probably the most iconic early locomotive. Follow the development of the simple 0-2-2 Rocket Type all the way from the nominal Rocket to the first modern locomotive, Northumbrian.
The vehicles in this pack will allow you to see the development of a single type of locomtoive in the year 1830. All locomotives are available at the same time, however months seperate each iteration and improvement. Technology was advancing at sich a rate, the game cannot keep up with its yearly releases.
Vehicle list:
The Rocket (1829)
The following are all available in 1830:
Arrow
Comet
Dart
North Star
Phoenix
Rocket (in service version)
Wildfire
Generic unnamed Rocket Type
1831
Norhumbrian
1834
The Rocket but rebuilt
Not only that, there is a full roster of waggons too, so you can ship anything and everything with the old vehicles.
This mod set took a very large amount of effort to create, and while I post it for free as a passion project, I welcome donations and support (who wouldn’t)
I have set up my patreon to allow for one-time membership, meaning you become a patron, donate, and then can leave without having to give a monthly amount.
