Viewing available purchasable vehicles?

[Tidgy]

Is there anyway to see what vehicles are available to buy without buying a depot?

currently only have busses and want to see what trains are available but no current train depot.

Not ingame, not that I know of, other than through the message that appears once vehicles become available.

There are guides that you can use for vanilla vehicles:

Depots are dirt cheap in the grand scheme of things, for your convenience, I would just build one, even if you do not expect to use it forever.

All trains can make a profit, even the slowest and oldest ones, it is just a matter of finding and setting up a proper route with a decent amount of cargo transported.

Faster trains have higher maintenance fees, so they will require longer and faster lines to break even.

You can just build a train depot [pause the game], click on it and see what's inside and delete it when you are finished to get some money back.

As Tsubame indicated, you can make a good profit on any train in the right circumstances, even in most circumstances. The first couple of runs with a passenger train might not make money, but if you setup the stations "correctly" and wait for a few more passengers then they very quickly become very profitable. Cargo trains are also relatively easy to generate good profits. What mode are you playing on? Easy, Medium or Hard?

If you outline some of your issues I'm sure you'll get lots of suggestions as to how to make them profitable.

Cheers,
Chris.
