Why do we like tiny things? From dollhouses to model trains and trinkets, miniatures are having a big moment.

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
One of this week’s improvements in Model Trains: You can now reverse your train without turning the whole consist around. What quality-of-life features do you appreciate most in simulation games? #GameDev #IndieGame #SimulationGames #modeltrains #modelrailroad #modelrailway #trainsim
Model Trains is competing in Rising Tide, @blueoceangames.bsky.social' trailer competition in collaboration with @globalgamejam.bsky.social in the Strategy & Simulation category. Voting is open at www.blueoceangames.com. We'd love your vote. There are lots of awesome games there, check them out!

Building tiny worlds, one track at a time. 🚂 Here's a peaceful look at our cozy railway sandbox, Model Trains. What feature would you add first? #gamedev #indiedev #cozygames
POV: it's Thursday and my mind already caught this train, next stop weekend. Sharing a bit of Model Trains today. #modeltrains #waitingforweekend #gamedev
🚂 Every build must pass QA. Ours just happens to have four paws. 🐈 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Would interrupt again. Curious about Model Trains? Visit playmodeltrains.com for a chance to get your hands on an early prototype. #ModelTrains #GameDev #IndieDev
Experimenting with lighting, atmosphere, color, composition, and visual hierarchy to shape the look of our train sandbox. What do you think? #gamedev #modelrailroad #modelrailway #modeltrains
Tell us what you think of our new Train Manager? #indiegame #gamedev #modeltrains #BuildInPublic
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
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
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

We’re live with Play Hour #7. @kinshuk.live has had two weeks to learn physics. The train is waiting. Let’s see. 👉 www.youtube.com/live/ZtxRvbN...
Last Play Hour: we built a railway, ran a train, physics won. Play Hour #7 is live in a few minutes. Come watch us figure it out. 👉 www.youtube.com/live/ZtxRvbN...
We're walking through the Train Manager live today. Build your own consists and run them on your layout. Railyard Diaries 9. 🇺🇸 2 PM ET · 11 AM PT · 🇬🇧 7 PM BST · 🇪🇺 8 PM CEST www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWei... #modelrailway #modeltrains #modelrailroad #trainsim #devlog #gamedev
The 'Train Manager' introduces a workshop inside Model Trains. Browse, build and run your own consists on your layout. We'll be walking through it live this Saturday, 30 May. Join us: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWei... #GameDev #ModelTrains #IndieDev #TrainSim #Sandbox #Simulation
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
Play Hour #6 is live 🚂 @kinshuk.live is on the controls, @yadurajiv.com is hanging out. No plan, just vibes. Come, watch. youtube.com/live/NUVVkR_... #ModelTrains #IndieDev #GameDev #BuildInPublic

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
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
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
Me: That feature looks really cool, I should implement it. Old features waiting to be fixed: 👁️👁️ understandable, have a nice day. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
#modeltrains #buildinpublic 🚂 @yadurajiv.com went back to tilt-shift experiments..blurs the rough edges, suddenly feels like a real miniature set. Glad our playtest feedback is finally shifting from UI fixes to new mechanic ideas. Love this feeling 😊
Take a break, relax, watch the train go by. This clip and more are on my YouTube in the newest video I posted, link: youtu.be/O1MluahZJJ0?... #ModelTrains #NScale #OrlandoNTrak #Furry #Hobby
Some games let you play in a world. Model Trains lets you build one. Everything new in Railyard Diaries #8. 7 features, 2 maps, real-world trains, and water for the first time. #indiegame #modeltrains #gamedev

Friday 5pm. @yadurajiv.com's back on the moodboards. Long day of calls but one of them sent him back to the beginning...always a good sign 😊 Posting monday because that's just how it goes! #indiedev #buildinpublic #modeltrains
