Today I tested all the cars in Railroads Online to check which one is the best for each good. I tried to keep things objective, but when buying cars, there's definitely more factors to consider.
Thanks for the video. Went and got the game and this is very usefull. One thing you mention and i really feel is a proper pain in the arse is trying to line up the small wagons with the cranes, specially when playing solo like i do. But really good fun tbh.
Yeah, the game can be a lot of fun. The small cars were added quite late, so most of the industries have their cranes spaced out to load 2 adjacent regular sized cars. I usually don't bother with the small cars too much and when I make a custom industry placement (so placing all industries around the map in preparation for a playthrough), I switch them out for the older ones.
