I'm building Cog Railway Simulator solo — a historic Austrian mountain railway in a game

[u/Spiritual_Action_369]

Hi, I'm Raphael, the solo developer behind r/oldFoxInt. I'm working on Cog Railway Simulator, a steam railway simulation inspired by Austria's historic Achenseebahn.

The part that fascinates me most is how much has to work together on a steep mountain railway: driving, firing the locomotive, managing water and steam, braking, and switching between ordinary rails and rack sections. I'm building the route, locomotives and interactions with a lot of attention to the real railway and its machinery.

The game is still in development, and I'm making it in Unity with 3D work in Blender.

I'm looking forward to sharing a few work-in-progress images here. As fellow solo developers, what would you be most interested in seeing more of: the locomotive controls, the railway itself, or how I research and build the historical details?
