I love the 5 star hotel idea and sewers. Would be really cool. Another thing that would be cool would be if you could dig a hole in the ground and ultimately create your own tunnels.

Great idea, let's make the player go through proper training to become a professional train driver... /irony It's probably not likely that drivable trains would be added to this game, but I think that some sort of train would be nice to see anyways on the railroads, maybe driven by a NPC or something, at least that was the first thought I had when making the thread. Handcars are probably rare today, but they would be very useful in a apocalyptic atmosphere, considering there are railroads around that can be used for transporting supplies needed for a longer survival. I would see it as likely that someone would start using the railroads for transportation at some point during a zombie invasion.

I would love to see blacksmithing in the game, that would make the game more interesting. Yeah there are axes, kitchen knives, golf clubs, etc in the game, but I would love to have the ability to make swords. Would be awesome. With blacksmithing you could make different types of swords, axes, scythes, hammers, etc. 1-handed, 2-handed, dull, sharp, razor sharp, etc.

I also like this idea too! Using a steam train or similar would probably be considered over powered though, as it would realistically have a lot more speed than a handcar does. I don't oppose using steam trains though, I think that would be cool, as long as it takes a lot of effort to repair/build one. But since the game is supposed to be hard, then maybe handcars are the only viable transport for the railroads. At least I think that handcars would work perfectly for the game's atmosphere.

I like that idea King, that would be nice as well. But movement is what I would like to see on the railroads though, I don't think it is over powered as long as it's not much faster than sprinting. Which reminds me, I think we should at least be able to build handcars if there are no functional trains around to use on the railroads. Handcars are a 2 man(or woman) driven vehicle used on the railroad, it can also be used by one man, but that would mean slower movement. And, to add onto that, I think we should be able to add containers on any end of the handcar so that we could move more stuff from one location on the map to another with more ease.

I second this, trench coats, although I am thinking specifically about the classic detective trench coat look, that would be badass. Edit: Also, a hooded cloak similar to this one would be cool.

Fair enough, I see the point there... What if the train would come only once a week in-game-time? Or coming at random times in-between 5 to 10 days in-game-time?

I think it would be cool if there were active trains in the game, that travel on the railroad. And you could jump onto and hang onto the train while it's moving. Maybe even take over the train, maybe the train has no driver. When the train reaches the end of the map the train would continue going although the character would be dropped off. Yeah? Sounds good right?
