What is Rolling Line?

A model railway sandbox playable on a monitor or in VR. Build tabletop layouts with track, scenery, signals, wiring, and logic systems, or drive diesel, steam, and electric trains across official and player-made layouts. You can work at human scale, explore layouts in miniature, or drive from inside a cab, alone or in multiplayer.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy building detailed model railway layouts
  • +you want community-made layouts, liveries, and train mods
  • +you prefer open-ended train play on desktop or VR

Not for you if...

  • −you want simple controls and a short learning curve
  • −you prefer focused driving over detailed layout construction

What players say

95% of 2,653 reviews are positive · 100% of 22 in the last 30 days

Players praise the depth of layout building and the supply of community layouts and mods. The most common complaint is that desktop controls make track laying and scenery work cumbersome; players also cite a steep learning curve and unclear or buggy tutorials.
