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 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.
