A list of available games will be displayed on the right hand side of the
screen and you will be automatically joined to the first game in the list.

When the green tick is displayed you may select where in the available
areas you wish to play. It is a good idea to choose to play in an area that is
alongside your friend’s choice.

When ready to proceed select the green tick.

Note: If you select the green tick before the host and the host then
decides not to proceed you will automatically become the host
machine.

When the LEGO LOCO desktop is displayed you will see BLUE tunnels on
some or all sides of your desktop layout. These cannot be deleted and
represent connections to other players in the game.

Press the ‘P’ button or use the MAP button in the toy box to view a map
showing all players, their names, train positions and a reduced view of their
desktop.

In the map screen holding your cursor over another area highlights the
players name and causes their trains to flash - showing where in the overall
layout they are.

Note: Areas which do not yet have a player, are modelled by the
game using default layouts and trains can run in these areas.

To get your trains to return to your desktop use the RECALL train button on
the map window.

When a player signs off all their trains are deleted, no matter where they
are.

To send a postcard to another player:
1. 

Create it in the paint factory.

2. 

Address it to that player (click on the TO area of the postcard and a list
of available players is displayed).

3. 

If you wish to send an attachment click the attachment (paper clip)
button and add the file as the last action you take before posting the
card.

4. 

Drop it in the letterbox.

Create a train with a mail carriage, route it past your post office and then
through the blue tunnel nearest the player you have addressed the card to.

To receive a postcard from another player:
1. 

Wait for their train to arrive.

2. 

Route it to your post office.

3. 

Right click on the post office and the incoming card is displayed.

4. 

You may then either delete the card or drop it in your post album to
save it.

5. 

If the card has an attachment (indicated by a paper clip on the card)
you can save the attachment by clicking on the paper clip. Note that
attachments cannot be stored in the album and will be deleted from
cards if you do not process them whilst in the post office window.
