About Train Simulator Classic
Master iconic locomotives across 400km of meticulously recreated real-world routes in the USA, Germany, and England with authentic signalling systems and licensed trains. Build and share your own railways and scenarios with comprehensive editing tools and Steam Workshop integration, creating an endless playground for railroad enthusiasts.
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.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Train Simulator draws passionate fans who love the depth of train authenticity and extensive third-party content, with some praising the classic version's superior physics and nostalgic appeal. However, players consistently complain about the high cost of DLC, performance and graphics issues on some PCs, and the game feeling outdated in its presentation and pricing for modern standards.
chooch
Can't recommend it enough for any train lovers - the amount of third party dlc that increases my enjoyment of this game is unbelievable.
way bettter than model trains!!! Also the classic version has better physics and is superior to many of the new versions. ONLY 1PROBLEM... THE DLCS COST TOO MUCH!!!!
its a shame this game has so much potential. But just can't get it to look great on my pc. I am gutted place make a train sim classic two we are in 2026 not your grandads year off 1976. Its not worth the price of £29.99 I am sad its a sad day ;)
I have watched this game since I was a little kid and after getting it my love for trains rekindled. Thank you Dovetail for being part of my childhood
