Play in VR or on PC


Rolling Line has been built from the beginning to be both a PC game (first person style) and a VR game.
You can play with a keyboard a mouse just like any PC game or train sim, but if you have a VR headset (Oculus, Vive, Valve Index and WMR) connected then it will automatically launch in VR.
If you have the Valve Index controllers then you can even make use of full finger movement tracking!

VR controls can also be fully re-binded using the SteamVR Input System.


Just like a model railway


Layouts in Rolling Line are designed to look, feel and operate like a real hobbyists model railroad, with switch boards to control the tracks, portable hand-held controllers to drive trains, and complete control over the rooms lighting.

Freely push wagons around on the rails with your hands to build trains and take control of them using DCC-style hand-held controllers!

Build your own tracks and scenery


Place pieces of track and scenery to build your own huge (or tiny) railways!
Choose from a huge range of props like trees, buildings, vehicles, shapes, etc.

Paint different colors onto props and terrain using a simple color painting system.
Choose from a variety of colors or edit your own hues and palettes.

Place down chunks of terrain to build hills and path ways, or use external 3D modelling tools to create your own complex 3D terrain (via modding).

You can build your custom layouts entirely by hand in VR, or play on PC to make use of PC-only map making shortcuts.

You can share your layouts on the Steam workshop and easily download other peoples layouts.
All layouts you make can be easily backed up and shared in plain text, which means you can copy-paste an entire save game between friends!


Explore in human scale or miniature


Switch between human-sized room scale and railway-sized miniature scale at any time, any where. You are not limited to only driving trains in miniature, but can fully explore and entire layout at the scale of a person.

Drive trains from right inside the cab in miniature, and view the world from the driver's perspective!


Choices of locomotion


Choose between a range of locomotion options, including standard teleporting, grabbing the world around you to move yourself around and free directional movement with the trackpad.

Other options like manual rotation (if you cannot use room scale) and setting your player height help support a range of VR setups.




Rolling line offers an immersive experience of both controlling a model railroad and driving trains from within the world itself. Whether you enjoy exploring model railways, the joy of controlling model trains, the experience of a scenic railway journey or the freedom of building your own tracks and creations, then Rolling Line can deliver!
