    Just a thought I had today. Forza Horizon has a showroom whereby you can walk around a car, press buttons etc and learn a bit about the train.

    Has this ever been considered for TSW?

    Could include
    1. Train stats
    2. Header informations
    3. Routes used
    4. Engine stats
    5. History of the engine
    A walkaround and to learn I think would be interesting to help expand the knowledge of the player base.

    Thoughts?

    That's a cool idea. Seconded.

    One thing I've been thinking I'd love to see is a TSW version of the Discovery Tour feature in recent Assassin's Creed games. It would remove any AI trains and let you drive (or walk) the rail line, giving interesting historical facts along the way about the stations and railroad in general.

    Didn’t the earlier versions of Trainz have something like this, where you could view your various traction and rolling stock items in a depot?

    What you're referring to is Forzavista, not Forzathon (a completely different thing, which are daily/weekly challenges that earn you points that you can use in the in-game shop to buy new/rare cars, horns, outfits/avatars etc).
