The game's FPS stutters significantly when loading a rather large model, and it takes ages to download the offline catalog... I really like the idea of this game, and it's very cool to see those choo-chooing happening. However, as a game on Steam, it lacks some fundamental tutorial or documentation of any kind, with wiki only available in German and many in-game strings not translated.

Uses less space and much cheaper than my HO train set that I had to let go because I didn't have room to keep it set-up. This game is a great way to continue the model train hobby. There are realistic tracks, rolling stock and rail infrastructure, mostly of the European variety with a few items from North America. Learning curve with the game is quite steep, particularly if you don't read German. I've used ChatGPT to translate some screenshots of the interface and that has been helpful. Overall, good value and a lot of enjoyment. Hundreds of hours into the game and I'm still learning and discovering new stuff.

This is absolutely amazing game/model railway design software. Easy to use, user friendly interface, tons of 3d asset - all perfect. I downloaded free demo couple weeks ago - and as I was well impressed with whole package - I bought full version. No regrets so far.

Found it. This is the model RR sim I had set expectations for. I've tried many other, but I don't want to manage economies, don't want to wear a VR headset, just want to simulate the model RR experience, and this program provides it. The graphics could be a few notches higher, a bit more animations, but it does the job of letting me experience model RR-ing. I wish there was more English in it, I have the UK version 9.5 but it still contains a lot of German RR jargon, but a quick online search fixes that. The controls, triggers, and outcomes weren't very intuitive at first, but makes more sense with more usage. All that said I am creating more and more detailed models, tracks, scenery, and controls - and time passes quickly as I do so - really like this program.

It is brilliant. By far the best choice considering the price you pay and what you get for the money.
