About this gameFull description from Steam
Craft your dream railway line in locomotive sandbox Islands and Trains. From pootling past a seaside village to winding a track through wintery forests, this little story is yours to tell. Design a train route around the island of your dreams and watch your diorama come to life. Go off the beaten track, winding around mountains and crossing lakes.  Place animals and edit the surrounding countryside to your liking. There’s no goals, no timers, no missions, and no mistakes - just happy accidents. We were inspired by beloved games such as Islanders, Dorfromantik and Townscaper.
