4.0 out of 5 stars The manual MSTS should have had in the box, 15 Aug 2001
By A Customer
This book is great for getting you started with the simulator. It walks you though all the activities with detailed instructions on how to finish them (if in a way that would get you the sack in real life)

The best part is a basic overview of the game editors. They can be hard to use and the book helps a lot.

On the down side, 2 weeks after buying the book everything I want to know is "beyond the scope of this book"

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth getting, 15 Jan 2002
By A Customer
Well worth getting this book for its useful tips and background information on the routes. I haven't dared to try the Game Tools yet, so I don't know how good the book is on this subject.

However, just like TrainSim itself, I'm afraid the book does contain some errors, which can cause confusion, especially on the Marias Pass chapter. It mixed up east and west at one point, and also refers to the wrong goods yard elsewhere, for example. Station stops in the simulator do not always match those in the descriptions.

However, all in all, the book is useful and interesing, even if it is written in American!

By A Customer
I found this book invaluable when playing the American release, and David Chong really does help you. With the tips he provides, and the easy to understand graphics and guides, this book really does add something extra to the game!
