Single User

In single user mode (choosing the Single Station Master button on the start
screen) you will be able to create your own layout and help your mini-figs
travel around that layout. 

By placing blue tunnels you can send Postcards to several LOCO characters,
(e.g. The Professor). A train carrying a card addressed to one of these
characters will leave through the Blue Tunnel and deliver a card to them…
who knows, they may even send you a reply!

International Postcards

If you have a MODEM and an Internet connection you can send random
postcards in Single User Mode to other LEGO LOCO users around the
world. Remember, for any train to leave your computer you must have
placed a Blue International Tunnel. 

Trains carrying Postcards will leave your layout and travel to the LEGO LOCO
International Post Office Sorting Computer, from here it will travel around the
world to who knows where. If you are lucky you may receive a Postcard
from someone from another country!

To send a postcard please ensure that your modem is switched on and
that you have connected to the Internet. Now start LEGO LOCO and
design your card. Address your card to ‘SwapShop@WWW’ (from the
pop down list) and make sure a postal train takes it out of a Blue Tunnel.  

National Mode

In National Mode, up to nine people can connect to a huge LEGO LOCO
layout. Each individual can take control of a certain part of the National
Map, and can build layouts as normal.

The cool thing about National Mode is that you can send trains and e-mails
and attachments to anyone connected to your session.

Starting a multi-user session

From the start screen choose the button with the Two Station Master heads.

You will now be given the choice to Host a session or Join an existing
session. Click on the appropriate button and then press the Green Tick to
Go.

You will now be asked which Network Protocol you require, TCP/IP or IPX. If
you are unsure consult your Network Administrator.

If you are hosting you will be asked to choose a layout. Different layouts
allow different numbers of users to play.

If you are joining, a list of all the available sessions will appear on the right
hand side of the Map Board. Select one of the available sessions.

You will now be asked to choose the area you will control, simply click on
the desired area. You will not be able to choose an area that another user
has already selected.  Player’s names appear in the layout as areas are
chosen.

Click the Green Tick to go.
