Trainz
is a virtual model railroad. Design, build and operate your very
own virtual model rail world on your PC.
Trainz is a long term project which will be released as a series
of modules to cover every facet of model railroading.
Trainz is quite unique in its approach and features elements that
have not been addressed in other games like it. Players are able
to design and build their very own virtual railroad. They create
their own imaginative environments where their tracks will lie and
when they're done they can grab their engineer caps and ride the
rails!
The Surveyor Editor featured in the game will allow players to
shape moutains, canyons and valleys all in a matter of seconds.
They will control survey and route planning for a rail company and
allows them to cut grades through hills, bore tunnels, construct
bridges and position scenery objects. Using the Trainz driver
module, players can climb into the cab of any of their locomotives
and rotate in a full 360 degree vision from various positions.
Trainz is a virtual model
railroad for your PC...
- Collect digital 3D models of your favourite locos from
around the world.
- Create the virtual layouts of your dreams, limited only by
your imagination and not the size of your spare room.
- Control the operations of your model railroad from the
engineer's cab view or trackside using the virtual DCC
controller.
