Rail Simulator

[Bort]

Looks like there's finally going to be a new train sim with modern graphics. Kuju, which helped produce Microsoft Train Simulator, and EA, I know what you're thinking but this looks like a winner, are teaming up to make one of the best looking games I've ever seen. There are only four (4) screenshots out right now but they all look stunning.

Those are scary good wallpapers :o


Although Train Simulator is good with all the mods and different trains out right now, this looks like one worth buying. :D

Another promising rail sim...

AND, another popular but oft overlooked sim is BVE, which IMHO outclasses MSTS is some areas (sound, cab movement), for that see:
