Question
I'm playing Railroad Tycoon 2 and my trains keep breaking down. I understand why and just haven't gotten into the groove of the game to prevent them, but what do I do once a train does break down?
Answer
You can't do anything to fix a broken-down engine. It'll eventually start running again on its own. You can't upgrade it while it's broken.
What you can do:
- As engines age, their chance of breakdown increases. You can replace them when that percentage gets too high.
- Using a caboose reduces the chance of breakdown (by half, I think).
- Certain managers can reduce the chance of breakdown.
Engines can also crash, which is a more extreme version of a breakdown, and means your engine is gone for good. The game will take you to a crashed engine, which you should go ahead and replace if you want to keep the route, because the existing train will be gone after the crash sequence finishes. To replace it, view it in the car selection window, then return to the main window and buy a replacement engine. By default it'll have the same consist and route as the last train you viewed.
