| If you have a long scenario ahead of you, try to seek out cash cow routes that can help keep you in the black. Look for places to create miniroutes between 2 industries that can feed off of each other; set up 2 small stations and buy yourself the cheapest, most reliable engine possible (speed doesn't really matter on such a short route). Afterward, you should find yourself with a solid and steady flow of income as you work on your grander visions. | ||

| Once you get into high-tech locomotives such as the TGV and the Brenner, you need to evaluate maintenance, fuel, and start-up costs for these massive brutes. It's one thing to fork over $200,000 for a new engine in RTII, but now you can spend more than a million bucks on one of these new beauties. Make sure it'll pay off for you down the road! | ||

| In the Metra scenarios, build more small stations instead of fewer large ones. You still serve the same population, but the shorter distance between stops means a faster flowing income stream (and less real estate you have to bulldoze). | ||

| If you use the "auto" track-laying feature, be sure to turn the grid on (press the G key) and build in small sections to give yourself the most control over slopes and hills. | ||
