PODCAST

The Train Rush

The Train Rush began life as a short form podcast in which the hosts discussed a single ‘train game’ (primarily, but not exclusively, from the 18XX family) they had played in the preceding fortnight. Since 2020, The Train Rush offers a thoughtful exploration of salient titles or topics within the genre of train games, with episodes released when the hosts have something to say and lasting as long as it takes them to say it. Rich descriptions, zen reflections and meandering musings often feature

S01E11 - 18GB - Jumping Someone Else's Train

The Train Rush ·

2019/04/30

Having forgotten how long it takes to prepare for, record and produce longer form episodes, Craig and Dave lengthily discuss their reaction to Dave Berry's 18GB, set in their LITERAL homeland. Unlike the local weather, the takes are 'hawt' and the humour dry. P.S. Apologies for the delay folks. It transpires low-mileage babies are SUPREMELY labour intensive. Even more so than podcasts. Special thanks to Jonathan Wells for stepping in to perform the final passes of editing (once again). This

After the world's longest arm wrestle to decide the topic of their next podcast, Craig and Dave emerge, sweaty but united in their resolve to hunt for gaming treasure in Hollandspiele's 'The Soo Line'. 18GB, Norgebanen and Northern Pacific may also feature briefly. Near the start, next to the bushes. You can't miss it. No, not there. Left a bit. Now you've gone too far.

S01E09 - 1879 - Sleepers in Seattle

The Train Rush ·

2019/01/17

A recently widowed man's son calls a radio talk-show in an attempt to find his father a partner. After ending that *awkward* conversation, Dave and Craig continue their search for the perfect 'games night' 18xx. Forget Meg Ryan. Is AAG's 1879, 'the one'? (Warning: Craig may have had a festive drink prior to recording, so this one has the odd soft curse word. It's okay. We're British...)

2019/01/07

After playing it a handful of times, Dave and Craig are motivated to share their first impressions of Leonhard Orgler's most recently published title, 18Lilliput, a brave foray into fitting 18xx scale fun into a Lilliputian box. Does it fulfil the brief? Listen on...

S01E04 - Teaching 18xx - A Pullman For Teacher

The Train Rush ·

2018/09/28

With Craig's handler away in sunnier climes, the roguish devil opines endlessly on the subject of teaching 18xx, under the supervision of guest host, Jon Cant. The presenters discuss their observations on what makes teaching 18xx challenging, approaches that they’ve observed work and of course, those that don't. 1836jr and 1846 are discussed as case studies, highlighting attributes which make them interesting candidates for teaching titles. This is an EXTREMELY long episode, running to nearly two

Following the outcome of the listeners poll, grateful that the winning entry wasn't 'Trainy McTrain-Face', Dave and Craig figuratively travel to the land of Guinness, unspellable names and catastrophic housing bubbles to review the people's choice, 18Ireland.

After covering what passes for 'hawt news' in the world of train games, Dave and Craig discuss their impressions of Peer Sylvester's North American Railways, a train game you could actually play in the pub, albeit whilst attracting quizzical looks.
