Anyone played this? I was thinking of "Trainz Railroad Simulator 2006 DVD Edition" only 10 bucks at Amazon.

I use it for all my amtrak content that i make. It's a good simulator, but its way better than MSTS in terms of user friendliness and making routes and such.

Thanks.
I got MSTS when it first came out and wasn't very excited about it.
Now, if I knew more about Trainz I'd ask you about the Amtrak content...
It should be here in a few days.

I got the download version, which I've now installed so can expect to waste many hours playing around with it.
I always liked Trainz mainly for the virtual railword 'Surveyor' mode which the other sims lacked. Like all my actual model railroads, I ended up with a load of grey board with track on it and not much else
At least it doesn't take up so much room.
So far: Capitol Limited, Acela, Downeaster, Lake Shore Limited, Southwest Chief, San Joaquins, Coast Starlight (SAC-SEA)

The only real railroading game for Mac would be railroad tycoon 3. This isn't really much of a train simulator and there are cab views however you cant really except much from it. Its more about the operation of a sucessful railroad. If you really have a lot of time on your hand you can start your own trans con as it has a nation wide map. Its pretty fun and there is some online play but usually not to many people are there. its $20 bucks which is reasonable for software and I'd recommend it.
34,707 Miles on Amtrak in 37 states. Select for 2012.

As far as I know,(I have Trainz2006.) there is a BUNCH of stuff here: http://www.protrainz...p;products_id=1 Also there is a superliner car that comes with 2006.It also has inside view.I use it for all my amtrak content that i make. It's a good simulator, but its way better than MSTS in terms of user friendliness and making routes and such.

DO NOT BUY 2009 buy 2006 or TC3 2009 is a rip off. tons of errors and script errors. the SD70's do not have wheels and do not work. alot of the routes are not in English and there's no way to translate them. don't believe me go to the forum and read all the threads on the game.
