A lot of people on the TRAINZ forums would agree. I just found 2006 to be extremely impressive, but just not as much fun for someone like me who isn't a hardcore train buff. Afterwards, if you want more depth and complexity (and have a heavier duty computer) you could move up to 2006. The better pick? I'd go with TRAINZ 2004 to get your feet wet. That seems rather short, even if one can create their own routes via a world builder. Looks like the Kuju program only comes with 4 real world routes, which depends on the country version you buy. Funny, I just saw that Trainz 20 got put up on Gamersgate last night, as we were talking about them.

RH, this is the Transport Giant I was talking about. This ended up failing miserably and was a giant, crappy, buggy, horrible mess.īTW RH, have you seen the Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe project? Apparently they are updating the open source to add more functions without changing the gameplay. Yeah, I mentioned Locomotion, which was Chris Taylor's half hearted attempted to "update" Transport Tycoon Deluxe. Oh, Transport Tycoon not Transport Giant. Auran had this long term goal to do some kind of economic sim out of Trainz but I am not sure it would work, the editor would have to be far easier to use. There are those who can't understand the novelty of trains but then they never grew up with model railorading. It is simply a must have for any TRS owner. It's a huge very realistic Australian map with hundreds of activities and awesome terrain.

If I could recommend onge single download for TRS. Mainly US, EU and AU stuff but there are some cool Japanese stuff as well. The cool thing about Trainz is that it makes designing your own tracks very very easy, there are also thousands of free objects etc you can use. If you are into model railroading, then TRSXX might be the most fun but if you likeĪ realistic sim then MSTS is the better one. Have tons of stuff for MSTS but also some for Trainz(there are better dedicated Trainz sites though).

If you are in UK(or just interested in British rail like me), check out, they I bought all my versions online from them as they never had much store penetration, especially here in the US.Īlso watch out for the new MS Train Sim, using the same engine as FSX. Look for it Here at the Auran online store.

I wish that I could find that classic collection you mentioned but i doubt it.Ĭorrection: The Classic Collection doesn't include the original TRAINZ (which is now no longer sold) but does include three collections of TRAINS Routes plus UTC, 2004, and 2006 versions of TRAINZ. It looks like they tried to do this massive expansion beyond Train simulation and that is what blew up on them.Īnyway, they have a collection pack that includes the orginal TRAINZ, Ultimate TRAINZ, TRAINZ 2004 and TRAINZ 2006 in one affordable package.įive versions holy moses is that alot. I hadn't heard that, but just checked out their forums and it seems that "Auran Development" (that was producing a ton of non-TRAINZ titles) went under but the core TRAINZ group remains in operation (though with a smaller staff) and development on their next product continues. Their latest is something called "Trainz Classics" I believe which was a bit of a step backwards in complexity. They started fairly simply and kept adding stuff on until it started getting too complex to run well.

I adored Trainz, it was really a great game, I didn't know they made a second version.Īctually, there are about five different versions available.
