Manufacturer's Description
Virtual Railroading on your PC!
Trainz is the most detailed and immersive railroad experience ever, letting you control almost every aspect of a working railroad. Let your imagination run free as you create stunning 3D worlds, take charge of thousands of tons of heavy freight or simply keep your passengers happy as you take on the challenges of a real train engineer. Add to the excitement by controlling multiple locomotives, coordinating activities, switching junctions and ensuring each train arrives safely at its destination.
Driver
Assemble your favourite trains in preparation for a busy day of operation. Climb into the 3D cab and take charge of passenger runs, shunting yard exercises and heavy freight movements. Choose from the simple or realistic controls, or a completely different perspective, switch on the autopilot and operate all the junctions as you ensure the safe and smooth running of your own private railroad. Scenarios add a whole new dimension to the gameplay.
Surveyor
Create stunningly realistic layouts! Move mountains, construct cities, create dense forests and lay your tracks, roads and power lines using this powerful and intuitive world editor. Add life to your creations by controlling the weather conditions, setting the lighting moods and adding animated industries. Choose from the 1000s of different scenery and trackside objects, download new content, or create your own.
My Collection
Examine the stunningly detailed and extensive collection of more than 130 different locos, passenger cars, freight wagons, tank cars and cabooses! Study powerful diesel workhorses from Britain, classic switchers from the USA or high speed electric passenger locos from the Continent.

Having read this months "Computer Active" magazine and seen the review on this product of 4 stars out of 5. I purchased it and have not been disappointed! This is a good train simulator with a wide range of landscape, weather,and international settings.
Well worth the money!

Unlike a real train set, the novelty wears off with this package after about an hour. It's such a good idea, yet the execution is so dull. The 3D rendering is fantastic, but that's basically all the game really offers. There's a lot of fiddling about to choose a particular location, then the engine and carriages - and after that you either stop or go, round and round a track. It looks lovely, but lacks any edge. Even when you come off the rails at 198kph, it all happens very slowly and totally unrealistically, so it becomes hard to care.
It simply isn't engrossing enough because it doesn't offer enough control. You can design your own railway in its own scenery - in theory at least - but the tool to do is so complex as to be practically useless. But as a driver, you simply don't feel that you are "there"; it's too insulated, too sanitised, too safe, for you to get emotionally involved. And the trains on offer seem to have been chosen for their extraordinary dullness except for the BR 125 engine.
Ultimately, this kind of thing will get more realistic and exciting as time goes on, but at the moment - despite looking good and rendering well - this game is a one way ticket to boredom. It's the software equivalent of a Britsh rail sandwich - dry, unfilling and curling up at the edges.
