Train Simulatortakes the obsessive realism of  Microsoft's best-of-breed Flight Simulator games down to earth. Six  real-world rail lines are included from throughout history, including  the Flying Scotsman line of 1920s England and the modern Odakyu  Electric Rail commuter line in Tokyo. Attendees at the National Model  Railroad Association's August 2000 convention marveled at the game's  painstaking attention to detail. But this game is not a model railroad  game; it simulates the real thing. The game's developers traveled  across the world with cameras and microphones in order to authentically  capture the trains in their natural habitats.Train Simulatorlets you experience the world's greatest trains in all their glory.Train aficionados can drive the train, run the rail yard, or dive in  with the terrain editor and create the rail lines of their dreams. Or  you can just sit back, relax, and admire the beautiful scenery and  dreamy click-clack of the tracks.--Andrew S. Bub
