And Wow!! I really like how the details look in this game and how it runs real good on my PC, My Computer has a intel P4 2.8 GHz chip, 512MB's of ram, an ATI Pro-98 video card with 128MB's of video ram. I'm going to get this full version simulator game. I had Microsoft train simulator before, but I like TRS2006 allot better, it looks and works great on my computer and is more fun to operate and watch. the Big Boy Steam Locomotive is allot of fun to watch it run in this Demo,it so cool! and the sounds of the Steam Locomotive are life like coming out of my Creative 2.1 100-watt speaker system that's plugged in to the PC mother board.

best game ever!

I bought this game and in true MS form; it was a hassle from the time I opened the box. Much too complicated for the average person or kid; steep learning curve. If your looking to take a train ride don't pick this one. I was so impressed I gave it away!

This game is addictive!

This is a simulator. If you like model trains you should love it. The tracks and trains on the disk are fine and the ones you can order to go with it are great. Almost all of the download able content has problems but most of them work, may have areas showing wireframe but still usable. You can even upload your favorite track for others to use if you so wish. I found myself sitting here "messing" with it for eight hours at one sitting so yes it is very addictive.

This game is sooo hard and confusing to play.They lamest thing about this game is that the people at the train station don't even move!It takes for ever to learn how to play!!Plus most of the time you don't even get to drive the train it drives it for you.Also it has 5 disks that you have to load on your computor for it to play and it takes like 45 minutes to load.THIS GAME IS SOOOOO LAME!!!!!

Model Railroader?

Here we have an imitation railroading experience that reminds me of the days when I had an H-O model railroad layout. The main difference is that the various equipment pieces were very accurately detailed in my models, not so in the game software. With Trainz there seems to be a lack of realism in both the interiors of the various locomotive cabs and in the exterior illustrations. One engine cab is totally bereft of controls, guages, and other detailing. The steam locomotive sounds are a big disapointment as they are neither realistic nor even timed to the rate of speed of travel; same with diesel locos. In addition the software contained many "glitches" (freeze-framing, unresponsive to inputs at times, etc.) that I was unable to adjust out with my computer. I have to assume they were a problem with the game software. The one advanage with this game is that it is interactive with other gamers with the same software thru the internet, but overall rather disappointing.

What? We don't have any American trains that are worth while?

Sometimes I wonder about games such as this. The designers seem to think that the only routes worth having are European or British. Perhaps if I were European or British I might think so too, but I'm not and I happen to like American routes. What about our great ones? Chicago, Burlington and Quincy. Rock Island. Southern Pacific with their great Sunset and Daylight routes. Baltimore and Ohio. New York Central. All these get short shrift when it comes to railroad sims.

I think I just got out of the railroad sim business. No more for me.

Wooo Hoooo!!!!

I love Train Sims,(Plane and Truck sims too!)But this one here is fun...
If you like to just drive the train, Go get Microsoft Train Sim., But if you want to just do your own thing,(Working the train yard,Choose your own loads,ect) Then Trainz is what you need. Plus its a Load and Leave.
No C.D. to hunt up if you want to play
