A train simulation game from Sonic Powered's `Japanese Rail Sim` series.
This game was localized and released in the west by the title `Japanese Rail Sim 3D: Travel of Steam`, but, unique to its original Japanese release, is the inclusion of elements from the TV show ` Thomas the Tank Engine`, which Oigawa Railway was collaborating with. As expected, by choosing to play on this mode, you can drive as Thomas, the main character of the show.
In this entry, the focus is turned around steam locomotives. You can drive the C11 No. 190 steam locomotive, the first one in this series, through a 39.5 km trip from Kanaya Station to Senzu Station on Oigawa Railway's Oigawa Main Line.
