Get set for My Model Train 2 mobile game

Once upon a time, kids loved nothing more than to play with a model train set. Nowadays, they're more busy grooming each other's Second Life avatars on Facebook while downloading illegal music. So we've heard.

Still, the model train love lives on with HandyGames, which is readying My Model Train 2 – Winter Edition for release. The game offers 25 levels of puzzly locomotive-based fun, along with a level-editor to create your own.

There's a suitably festive theme, too, seeing as your job is to deliver presents on time, and help the elves commute to their workplace. What happened to reindeers, hmm? That's progress for you.

As with the original My Model Train, you accomplish this by flicking signals and switches, avoiding collisions with other trains, and trying not to run out of fuel.

We have to admit we weren't the biggest fans of the original game, but that won't stop us checking My Model Train 2 out when it's released next week. Toot toot!
