Installed this after uninstalling a much larger apparently more polished train sim and i am so glad i did. It might not have the glitz and glamour of its larger competitor but its got more soul and substance for a fraction of the price, and given that it encourages modders and community contributions for addons says alot about the integrity of this Dev. I have seen a few comments on the quality of the graphics not being that great but i must say that with a few in game graphic settings choices and some tweaks in Nvidia Inspector i have this baby shinning from a scenery and 3rd person perspective. Its Locos/Rail Car cabins and controls dont have quite the fidelity or polish you will find in other sims but it makes up for that with immersive physics and sound which soon make you forget the low polygon count and obscure shaped gauges. This sim is built the right way and from what i have seen so far it has a solid core which makes it exciting to see where it goes in the future.

I like the game. The only thing I want so far is a consist creator and a route selection so I can choose my own consists while running a long route.

That's how you make a game. The core first, then improve visuals. Features lots of stuff DTG are failing to deliver. And thankfully it's not UnrealEngine :)

A little gem: the greatest immersivity among the train simulators I have run. It does a few things, but it does them greatly: only diesel cars (no steam, no electric), only England (unless some user adds routes from other countries) and (almost) only from the Sixties. But: - the `feeling` of the mass (and of the dynamics) involved is great - the 'response' of the vehicles is very realistic (I don't know enough of train physics to tell how 'real' it is, but it certainly looks like it is) - the controls are accurate - everything can be controlled by keyboard, which avoids the need to look away from the route to 'aim' at specific controls all over the place and operate them with the mouse, which (unreasonably, on a PC) affects many other train simulators The quality of the graphics has been criticised: IMHO if you spend time looking at the quality of water reflections, you shouldn't drive a train! (probably you will enjoy some other game more) The programme does not waste resources on eye candies, but focus on simulation. The number of routes provided is small, but with a large number of time tables and with the re-playability of each increased by the interaction with AI trains (often meaning red lights!) which are never precisely the same; and a number of additional routes is available in the workshop. Summary: if simulation is your genre, in general and of trains in particular, BUY IT! it is worth any penny.
