About this game

THE ULTIMATE RAILWAY HOBBY The ultimate railway hobby for more than 15 years! From historic steam locomotives to modern high-speed and heavy freight trains, and routes around the world, Train Simulator Classic is the simulation made by railfans for railfans. A WORLD OF RAILWAYS

Train Simulator Classic takes you to three countries, with more than 400km/250 miles of detailed real-world routes included. Drive heavy freight trains on the USA’s challenging Saluda Grade, move passengers and freight along Germany’s historic Hochrheinbahn, and take passengers from the English Channel ports towns of Dover and Ramsgate to the capital city, London. LICENSED TRAINS

Take the controls of trains which are officially licensed by the operating companies. Drive variations of Southeastern’s Class 465, 375 and 395 on Chatham Main Line, take Deutsche Bahn’s BR111 and BR189 from Konstanz to Villingen, and negotiate Saluda Grade in Norfolk Southern’s EMD SD40-2s and GP35s. Get to grips with realistic signalling systems, authentic brake controls and lifelike weather conditions as you become an expert driver through 25 career-mode scenarios, or use Quick Drive to drive the trains you like, wherever you like. BUILD AND REBUILD

Use the Train Simulator Editor to build living worlds with comprehensive tools. Create your own dream railway or scenario and start a service with your favourite locomotive. With full Steam Workshop support you can share your creations with other railfans around the world, or browse through the thousands of community creations already available to try out.

Please Note: The Train Simulator interface is localised into English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian, Simplified Chinese and Spanish. Localisation on locos and route content varies depending on the developer who created it.
