Hello and welcome to LEGO LOCO! I’m the Station Master and
I’m here to help make sure that all the LEGO trains run on time and
the Minifigure passengers are happy.
As a trainee Station Master it’s up to you to design your own railway
layouts and build a bustling LEGO World, to help you I’ve given you this
cool LEGO LOCO Guide.
If you need my help whilst you’re playing you can also click
on this button in the Toybox for a quick run through how to
do things!
LEGO LOCO is all about building and running the best train set that you
can imagine, on your computer! You can make your own tracks and
towns with lots of different LEGO elements… and then watch them
come to life!
Switches and points allow you to control all of your trains as they travel
from station to station, whisking your LEGO Minifigures around the town
that you have built for them. Your creation will grow as you add to it,
and there will be plenty of surprises along the way as you uncover
hidden events and new and exciting elements.

Before you can run LEGO LOCO on your PC you will need to copy some
things from the CD-ROM, don’t worry, we’ve made it easy for you...
Auto Run - Make sure that Windows 95 has started and then insert the
LEGO LOCO CD-ROM. The installer program should automatically run. It
will ask you a few questions about how you would prefer the copying
to take place, you can simply click the NEXT button and let the program
decide for you. This program will then set up everything you need to run
LEGO LOCO.
You will need to have DirectX installed on your computer. If you are
unsure it is safest to reply YES when asked in the installation if you want
to install DirectX.
On some rare occasions the Auto Run program may not start
automatically. If this happens you can start the program yourself.
• From the Windows 95 desktop double click the left mouse button on
the "My Computer" icon, this will bring up a window that displays all
of your drives, including your CD Drive.
• Right click on the CD Drive Icon (this is normally Drive D, but may be
different on your computer). This will bring up a list of options (see
the Windows 95 instruction manual), from this list choose EXPLORE.
• Once you have clicked EXPLORE the window will show the contents of
the CD. From this list double click the icon that says SETUP.EXE with the
left mouse button.

To send a postcard you must make sure that you have a working Post Office.
There are two types of post that you can send.
• Internet post (to friends and other users running LEGO LOCO)
(details on page 22 “international postcards” )
• Mystery post. To Santa, Nessie, the Mayor etc.
Although your PC does not need to be connected to the Internet to send
and receive Mystery postcards, both types of mail require you to have a
working mail route within your LEGO LOCO layout.
To send mail you must place a post office on a train track. Trains pulling a mail
carriage must be able to get from the post office to a tunnel.
Post Office The Post Office contains everything you need to
write, design, store and send postcards to your
friends.
Left Click on the Post Office. Here you will find the
postman at his desk. You can click on the items
around him to access everything related to the Post
Office.
There is a book on the desk that will take you to your postcard album (to
store your postcards), a ‘Pen And Pencil Pot’ to take you to the postcard
editor (to create or edit postcards) and a rubbish bin (drop postcards in this
to delete them).
Receiving and Saving Postcards
A pile of postcards next to the postman means that you have received
postcards from somebody!
You can click on this pile of postcards to view them. The postman will hold
each one up individually for you as you click on the pile.
You can see the reverse text side of each card by clicking the ‘flip’
button.
All cards can be sent to your Postcard Album for safekeeping. Simply click
on the card, your cursor will change into a mini-
postcard, now click on the Postcard Album sitting on
the desk. This card will now be saved into the Album.
In the same way you can send a card to the editor, instead
of clicking on the Album click on the Pen and Pencil Pot.
In the same way as placing a card in the Postcard Album,
you can delete a postcard. Click on the postcard and drag it
into the Rubbish Bin.

the conveyor belt.
To select a piece of clipart just click on it. This can now be placed
anywhere on the front of the Postcard.
Click the Right Mouse Button to de-select any piece of clipart, the cursor
will now change back to the hand.
Some clipart may have different colours. The buttons below the conveyor
belt will swap between the available clipart colours, or sub-sets.
The colour of the Postcard’s background can be altered by mixing paint.
Three pipes hanging above the Postcard will mix different amounts of Red,
Yellow and Blue paint onto the background.

Click the Left Mouse Button on one of the mixers to increase the amount of
colour, click the Right Mouse Button to decrease the amount of colour.
There is a selection of ten Bottles next to the drawers, these contain some
pre-set colours, Left click on one of these to instantly fill the background of
the Postcard with that colour.
To write a message, add a stamp and address the postcard you
must flip over to the text side of the Postcard. Click on the flip
icon.
Postage Stamps on the Conveyor Belt are just for decoration, you do not
have to place one for the postcard to work.
Click on the left hand side of the Postcard to write a message.
Click on the Right hand side to
Address the Postcard, a list will
show all of the available people
that can receive a Postcard.
If you address a card to ‘SwapShop@WWW’ you can send it via Modem
to the LEGO LOCO Post Office, where it will be forwarded to another
LOCO user, who could live anywhere! Pretty soon you may receive
Postcards from people all around the world! PLEASE NOTE You must have
a Modem connected to the Internet for this to work.
It is possible to attach small files to the postcard, and then
send them to a friend (only when using a LAN and direct
TCP/IP Internet connection). Click on the Paperclip Button to
attach a file.
This will bring up a Windows style Browse window, from here you can
Browse through your drives to find the file you wish to attach.
Posting Your Card
Once the card has been addressed (see previous), you can post your
card. Either Click on the Mailbox, or left click on the Postcard (picture side,
or on the ‘From’ area on the text side) and drag the Postcard cursor over
the Mailbox and click the Left Mouse Button.
Remember a train with a mail carriage attached must visit your Post Office if
you want to send and receive any postcards.

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.

YELLOW postcard in your post office and the post office will animate to
attract your attention. The postcard will have text indicating that there was a
network error.
If the server is successfully contacted a new train will enter your desktop
from the blue tunnel this will be carrying a returned postcard. You should
route this train to your post office in order to unload the postcard.

There are many special hidden events that you can discover and elements
to place on your layout in LEGO LOCO. Some will happen only at certain
times, others you will only be able to discover by building your LEGO
LOCO world carefully. Some are easy to find, some will take a lot of
experimenting. We have called these EASTER EGGS.
