==Other Information==

The miniature railway is actually a faster mode of transport as opposed to a chairlift, but it is still slower than the monorail.

The Miniature Railroad is typically the only transportation option available at the start of a scenario. Attaining a speed of 9 mph on flat track, it beats the [[Chairlift]] (due to the increased speed on downward slopes) but loses to the [[Monorail]]. Thus, the Monorail is usually a better option.The Miniature Railroad is also the only transport ride requiring a full circuit; the Monorail can use the "Shuttle mode" operating option, and this is the only option for the Chairlift. The speed of the trains on upwards hills is 2 mph, so try to keep the track design as level as possible.

==Trivia==

*In Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 & 2, the Miniature Railroad could only operate in a circuit, but in Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, it could operate in shuttle mode.

The ride is known as the Miniature Railway in versions of the game outside of the US.

*The standard trains are based off those of the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway, a miniature railway in Britain, while the "American" styled ones are based off old American steam locomotives that operated in the 1800's.
