The Great Little Trains of WalesThe enthusiasm for railways grew with the development of steam power at a time when horsedrawn wagons were no longer sufficient to meet the transpor tation demands of industry. In Wales, rich deposits of ore, coal, stone, and slate needed to find their way out of the rugged hills to the rapidly-expanding ports and (from there) the rest of the world. Many of these distinct, individual Welsh industrial railways still operate today but people, rather than minerals, are their cargo.The game takes two players on a construction journey through the breathtaking countryside of Wales: from the glistening shores of Cardigan Bay through huddled villages sheltering in the shadow of the mountains to the black pits of the mines; there has never been a better way to travel such a mystic land than by rail...but somebody had to build it all in the first place.
