“Driving the train doesn’t set its course. The real job is laying the track.” – Ed Catmull
For decades, trains were the world’s primary mode of long-distance transportation and even played a central role in the expansion of America. Even today, their steely power, old-school charm, and still vital place in world commerce stand as a powerful symbol of human ingenuity and perseverance.
While train lovers used to have to spend thousands of dollars and give up entire basements to construct model train displays of their own, that started to shift in 2001 when Australian video game developer N3V Games produced the first version of their Trainz Railroad Simulator game.
Almost 20 years later, the joys of being a god of the railways is still enticing, a joy you can share with this Trainz Railroad Simulator Platinum Edition Bundle. The entire collection is now 85 percent off its regular price at just $39.99.
With the 2019 edition of this heritage game, you make all the decisions as you essentially create your own world on this digital frontier.
First, you can explore hundreds of miles of track along six ultra-detailed routes as you drive your choice from a huge variety of nearly 200 different steam, diesel, and electric powered locomotives. Then, you can take your mastery of your world to new heights as you literally terraform the land, lay tracks, and create thousands of miles of railway for your trains to explore.
With the Surveyor world-building tools, you can do it all, creating your own dream railroad from scratch, editing built-in routes, or updating one of the thousands of routes available for free download through the Trainz Download Station. This platinum package also includes an additional three premium routes as well as 10 more top-grade locomotives to try out.
Whether you enjoy the driving simulator mode or the world-building tools with more than 20,000 assets for your use, you can watch your train run through various camera modes. Or you can step out of the engine and run a fully operating railroad, managing dozens of trains under AI control, following your every instruction.
You can also run routes solo or in multiplayer mode with others as you share your routes and show off your creations.
Right now, the collection featuring TRS 2019 World Edition and the expanded Platinum Edition pack retails for $279 but is available now for only $39.99.
