Virtual Railway Consortium:
-
Virtual Reality is a growing option for model railroading. And for everyone interested in railroads, railways, locomotives, or travel in general. The Virtual Railway Consortium (VRC) is made up of people like that. Home base for the VRC is Second Life, a large and well developed virtual world.
Atoll Continent Rail
Second Life hosts a large community of rail buffs and an extensive rail network. The map below shows the rail lines serving just one continent, Heterocera, the Atoll continent :
Here is detailed information about the rail service on Heterocera:
Landmarks to many train stations on the Atoll Continent are available at the Hobo Helpers HQ:

Free trains
Nothing to buy. You don't even have to call in the next 10 minutes. Just drop by Hobo Helper HQ on Cookie sim.
-
Click the Hobo Kit poster to get your free Hobo Kit. The Hobo Kit is a notecard with lots of embedded notecards, objects, and other things. Scroll down past the newcomer items to the section "What do we do here?" Then look for HOBBIES.
-
Click on the notecard titled: "VRC update for free trains." The notecard carries the trains and instructions on how to use them. Click on the name of a train to copy it into your inventory.
-
The free train notecard is only in the current Hobo Kit, so for now you have to get it from the poster at town center at Cookie.
-
Next Step: Schedules
The HH Travel Service is one of the travel services of the VRC. This service makes and distributes travel posters that will not only show people a destination but also offer immediate and free travel (by teleport).
-
Travel posters are available at Hobo Helpers HQ:
Our next step is to develop a way to collect and update train schedules. I will be reporting on the planning for that objective in the near future.
