A guide to all rolling stock in Railroader. Rolling stock includes passenger carriages and goods wagons (flatbeds, boxcars, et cetera. Literally everything that doesn’t have a tractive effort number). Last updated 13/FEB/2024. Currently WIP. Written using in-game information.
Passenger Carriages
The first section of this guide will deal with passenger-hauling rolling stock, as well as assisting carriages such as luggage cars and work coaches. Where the game does not allow you to purchase rolling stock in Company mode, N/A will be displayed over the price regardless of whether or not a price is available in the game files.

Additional Notes:
Not purchasable in Company Mode. Pity. Although it serves no purpose, it would be a nice-to-have on passenger or executive consists. Further, an easy way to add functionality to this carriage in the short to medium term might be to either give it a fare multiplier similar to the Observation car, or cause it to multiply the number of passengers that spawn at stations along its route by maybe 1.2 or 1.3x, as it would be more attractive to travel by train with large items of luggage.

Goods Wagons
This section has not been started yet as it’s 01:30 and I should probably stop tapping away and go to bed, but I’m leaving this here as a reminder to myself to finish this guide, and just to let you know it’s not yet complete and I plan to add all rolling stock in the game, not just passenger stock. Ask me in the comments if I haven’t updated this by 15/FEB/2024, the notifications will remind me.
Cheerio all, and happy Railroading!
