• September Updates - Field Research, Hoppers & Optimization - 30 September 2026

  Hello everyone! Today, we return with a slew of updates that we've been up to, since our last post on Steam.First up, we have one of the most important things that we do here at Studio 346; field research and touching brass. One of our researchers went and did just that, to gather helpful references and firing tips from one of the very few operational wood-fired steam locomotives left currently running in the United States.Next up, a new piece of railroad equipment - the humble hopper car. Specifically a design of hopper from the East Broad Top Railroad of Pennsylvania. With over two hundred built in-period by the iron, coal and gannister-hauling railroad, these hoppers have since found themselves distributed all over; from the White Pass & Yukon Railroad in the frigid north, to the Sumpter Valley Railroad in Oregon and the Durango & Silverton in Colorado.Finally, a continuation of our…

• Flag Stop - The D&RGW K-37 Mikado - 5 August 2026

  Hello everyone! Today, we return with a new Flag Stop Vlog, showcasing a new locomotive for Century of Steam.With our programming team still nose-to-the-grindstone on Industries Part 3, as well as some other things, we're showing off yet more efforts from our 3D Artist team as we continue to fill out our roster of engines for Century of Steam. This time, we're pleased to showcase the Denver & Rio Grande Western class K-37 2-8-2 - one of the heavy-hitters of the Rockies! With an interesting homebrew history and a design that... borrowed heavily from the Denver & Rio Grande Western's other mikados, these behemoths were the biggest and baddest beasts found on the Denver & Rio Grande Western narrow gauge system and we're thrilled to have it in game!Furthermore, on our Patreon, we just published a Flag Stop on our Patreon that follows one of our researchers going out into the field, to study…

• Cabooses, Map UI & Optimization - 4 July 2026

  Hello everyone! Today, we've got a couple more development vlogs for you, featuring some new stuff the team has been working on!First up, a new Flag Stop that features a new piece of rolling stock! Long-time followers may have heard us jokingly refer to how 3' narrow gauge railroad cabooses are rarely ever... normal. Thankfully, the East Broad Top Railroad bucked that trend and made a normal caboose and we're happy to have it included in Century of Steam!Next up, we have our map UI as well as game optimization! Two important things that the team has been hard at work on over the last few months. In this vlog, we detail our stylistic approach to the design of the map UI, what they will display and more. Additionally, there has been performance optimization, which has been something we've been hard at work on improving over the past few months, resulting in the game's average FPS increasi…

• Mid-Year Updates - What We've Been Doing! - 21 June 2026

  Hello everyone! Today, we come bearing a ton of development vlogs, featuring stuff that the team has been hard at work on, over the past few months.First up, we have one of our short-form Flag Stop videos, showcasing a new locomotive coming to Century of Steam, the GE Class C-C 162/162-6GHM842 800HP (rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?), built for the White Pass & Yukon Railroad. These interesting-looking oddballs have quite the storied history on the WP&Y from the mid 1950's on to present day and many similar GE-built "Shovel Nose" diesels can be found in many other countries around the world, such as Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and Thailand!Next up, we have our second full installment in our in-progress Industries vlog series, Industries Part 2, which showcases a new kind of locomotive for us, a Baldwin 6-16 1/3C "Steam Motor", also known as a "Steam Dummy", on logging duty deep in the mo…

• 2025 Christmas Updates! - 25 December 2025

  Hello all, we hope you all are enjoying this holiday season! We've got some additional work done over the winter break, with Industries Part 1 coming to the Patreon this week to close out the year. Much of the team is currently spending time with family and friends today, but we wanted to drop these here as a little christmas gift for y'all: Firstly, our flagstop video on our 1913 Ford Model T inspection car from the Rio Grande Southern Railroad is now public! We are joined by researcher Brett, who shares his experience restoring and driving a Ford Model TT truck and how he was able to contribute to making this neat little piece of railroading history come to life! Additionally, 3D artist Alec shares his research and work in recreating one of the most ubiquitous pieces of logging equipment on the narrow gauge, the Russel Car & Foundry skeleton cars!And lastly, here is a bluegrassy chris…

• More Diesel Locomotives, Oil Firing, and other updates - 9 July 2025

  Howdy all! We've recently become aware of many folks that haven't heard anything about our development progress because of the lack of activity on steam, and we're sincerely sorry about that. We've been sharing bi-monthly vlogs on our YouTube and Patreon for almost two years now; and beyond that we've been focusing on just developing the game!Rest assured, we're still here and in this for the long haul. We'll try our best to be better about updating Steam as a platform as well. Check out our newest vlog here: The game's got more to go, but what we have so far is a good bit of fun.See you all next time,Mark - President, Studio 346
