a) Firstly, if you haven't played it, and you enjoy any of the crayon rails games, then you should download it. Very enjoyable - and much quicker! - PC version of the board game

b) If you do enjoy it, I have a fair old selection of custom maps which I've made from time to time and would be willing to share. Likewise, if you've made any custom maps, I'd like a copy.

My map list:

- Australia
- Central America (from Florida right around to Guyana
- Germany (stretching into Poland, the Czech Republic, France, Italy and Holland)
- Isle Of Wight
- Japan & South Korea
- Mathern (unlikely to be of interest to anyone who hasn't lived there!)
- Mediterranean
- New Zealand
- Ross-on-Wye (again, not likely to be of interest if you don't live there)
- Scotland
- South Africa
- UK and Ireland
- USA East
- USA West
- Wales

I do play it from time to time. A little fun is lost because the AI isn't bright enough to provide a challenge. Haven't done any custom maps, though.

I find that some of my maps increase the difficulty gradient. The Japan & South Korea one in particular is tough to win, even against only one Bot.

I actually just discovered this gem not too long ago.

It's very well made and it's still provides me a challenge (I'm about 50% on wins depending on the map I use) but would like the challenge of different maps.

I highly recommend anyone who likes crayon rails games and who wants a quick diversion to download and try this -- you won't go wrong.
