This could be remedied by the lively community that the Trainz series has built up over the last 15 years and which created tons of content not only with the last editions of Trainz Simulator 12 and Trainz Simulator 10. You do not use vehicles that have broken down on level crossings and before which you would have to brake – although you can even see one or the other vehicle in the landscape that is rolling from A to B somewhere. And that is already the greatest punishment.Apropos: Why do you stay arch-conservative with the few sessions included (essentially correspond to missions) and do not take any risks? Apart from the red signals, there are no incidents of any kind. If you go to the terminal station with too much speed on the corresponding trains or rush through a curve at excessive speed, The physics, which act accurately and naturally show the effect on the braking distance, cause derailments, which, however (analogous to model railways) are largely unspectacular. There are slight point deductions in the final bill, but that’s about it. The problem: The consequences of non-compliance are irrelevant. You should also pay attention to speed limits and also not lose sight of the timetable on passenger trains. Signals must be observed and even confirmed on the route in England by pressing a button, otherwise an emergency shutdown will take place. On the one hand, it was interesting to find out what minimum requirements you are facing here. On the four included routes, which are mainly located in English-speaking countries (USA, England, Australia)I was also channeled through a rollercoaster of emotions – insofar as this can be said with such unspectacular subject matter.

Not only during the dust-dry, but at least interactive tutorial missions, I was constantly torn between boredom and a fascination probably also stemming from childhood memories of model railways. In contrast to the Train Simulator, there is even another parallel to the model railroad: Depending on the game mode, you can also set the points instead of just sitting behind the switches as a train driver. Almost like in my childhood, when I rushed my Märklin Z-gauge trains over the rails on a three-square-meter plywood sheet in the basement until they blew out of the curves. One turn to the right or left and the locomotive including freight or passenger wagons becomes faster or slower or moves in the opposite direction. You don’t have to worry about the different types of brakes.

The simple variant, on the other hand, works essentially like a model railroad: A rotary control is used to set the amount of force the machines will use to be transferred to the rails.
