Each Deluxe Board Game Train Set includes:
The General
Inspired by Soviet steam locomotives of the 1940’s and 1950’s the General’s unique design is so striking it may cause your opponents to question their blind acceptance of capitalism! The General’s tin art evokes Soviet propaganda posters of that era.
The Midnight Express
Almost two hundred years later, the 19th century steam locomotive is still what most people think of when they hear the word “train.” The midnight express is our version of this iconic design.
It’s tin artwork copies the simple black and white locomotive company ads of the 19th century, which were usually little more than a drawing of the locomotive and a list of the company’s officers.
The Sunset
If you see a train on the track today, it’s almost certainly not carrying passengers. The Sunset is our homage to the modern freight train that transports goods across vast stretches of wilderness day and night. Accordingly, its tin cover is inspired by modern U.S. national park posters.
The Hornet
Goodbye steam, hello diesel! As American bought cars in record numbers in the 1950’s, railroads tried to lure back passengers with luxurious, “futuristic “diesel trains. Though fictional, our Hornet train was influenced by many of these classic mid-century diesel locomotive designs. It’s tin artwork mimics the Norman Rockwell style of 1950’s American train ads.
The Mercury
Stylistically ahead of it’s time, the Mercury was one of the most famous American streamlined locomotives of the 20th century, running’s from 1936 until it’s retirement in 1959. The Mercury’s tin cover is in Art Deco – a popular style for train advertisements in the early years of the Mercury’s service.
We know that your shelf space is limited, so each set has been designed to take up as little space as possible.
And Ticket to Ride fans – rejoice! Our tins fit perfectly into the plastic insert that comes with most standalone Tick to Ride games.
