## What is Train Kit Junior?

A new game from the makers of Train Kit - the award winning kids train building game.

Train Kit Junior is designed for younger childen as a first introduction to building railroad tracks and creating train worlds.

A simple one screen interface allows children to drag track pieces from a small selection and place them to create a track for the train. The train chugs arounds as you build, following the track as it is created.

Drag track pieces from the bottom of the screen onto the train track. Add or replace existing track. The train will follow the new railroad.
Use the arrow buttons to browse through all the tracks created or to make a new one.

DRIVE THE TRAIN
Click on the driver button to switch to the train driver mode. See the world pass by as the train rides the track that you have created. Change speed or use the horn with the cab controls.

EXPLORE DIFFERENT WORLDS
Build in a selection of different worlds each with their own themed train. Choose a steam train rushing by hills and through tunnels or a city metro train navigating a world of skyscrapers and bridges.

TUNNELS AND CROSSINGS

JUNCTIONS AND SWITCHES
Add switch tracks to allow your metro train to access different parts of the city. Maybe your passengers need to visit the hospital or go to work in an office block on the island.

### 5/5 — Train kit along with Train kit jr is basically Minecraft but you control a train!

*2025-08-15, version 1.13*

So of course there are no like crafting tables or stuff but what I’m trying to reference from Minecraft to this game is that the way you can build your own house? Houses is the same way with this app instead of building houses your way you build tracks your way honestly like what’s the difference between mean they’re all great games at the end of the day am I right anyways there’s nothing bad about this game but I have to write just all good things. (Ps: this reminds me of a game called Thomas Minnis, where I had the same game mechanisms but you collect golden gears however they remove the golden gears along with the engine collection I’m Gonna miss that.😢
