I've seen those, but that's not what I'm making.  I'm making a game where
you lay the tracks and stations out and the computer drives the actual
trains (look at Transport Tycoon Deluxe or A4 for Windows (which you can
still buy, albeit for 7700 yen)) and you'll see what I'm doing.

AND, if anyone has a copy of A4 that I can look at for ideas, and will let
me borrow it for a little while....I'd appreciate it.  A5 is the newest
version, but it seems to be written in a completely different paradigm -
it focuses on 3d graphics and not on train layouts...
