The future of Train simulation is here! Train Simulator 2012 puts you right inside the cab, driving incredibly realistic steam, diesel and electric trains on stunning real-world routes in the US, UK and Germany.
Features :
- 8 realistic lines
- 16 highly detailed locomotives
- More than 70 scenarios
I have played this for the last few days and it is a very fun simulation. The overall impression is, (TrainSimulations dot com), the manufacturer of Railworks 3 has done a spot on job with amazing attention to detail. Just about everything I could think of to be an engineer is brought to task in this game. You can run freight, or take passengers from station to station.
I highly recommend doing the tutorials in detail because they will help you with running each and every train and also how to change switches and tracks. Don't skip this part of the experience. It will probably take you, maybe 2 hours to complete all of the tutorials. After that you can drive just about everything. The last tutorial takes you through the famous Horseshoe Bend in the Allegheny mountains of Pennsylvania (near Altoona).
Summary:
If you are into trains or know someone who is this is a fantastic game for your PC. Not a ton of bells and whistles (other than what is on the train) its just a solid simulation of being an engineer from the early 1900s up to modern bullets.

The best in the world!
Though I have not received this product yet, I have watch many-many videos on the this simulator. What I have to say is, this is hands-down the most realistic train simulator I have ever seen. You can do anything a real train engineer can do, from controlling train speed, horn, track changes, etc... This is the REAL deal! You have a choice of steam, diesel or electric trains, you can even take the controls of an AMTRAK train! The best part of this simulator is, you can create tracks and landscapes to explore and increase the excitement by creating custom trains. This simulator is not a game of sorts because its not recommended for anyone looking to race or crash. Some of the missions can take up to 30 minutes to complete. Remember the most important fact about this simulator is that this is REAL. You are in control of the locomotive and all the intricate responsibilities associated with the safe operations of the entire train. It's not all seriousness here, this simulator has a "free roam" mode also where you can do anything you want... try not to derail your train or disobey the speed limit, this will mean automatic "end of simulation." Bottom line is: THIS IS THE BEST SIMULATOR AVAILABLE!
