Check out Open BVE. Arguably the best modern train cab simulator available. Limited to a specific genre of train unlike MSTS, Trainz and Railsimulator/Railworks but better than all of them in it's specific area.

Point is, for a niche subject matter open source (or more importantly, fan made) games/sims can often offer more man hours and knowledge than money making game companies can afford to use and turn a profit.
With all the skills in this forum it rather suprises me that more people haven't jumped on board with Danger from the Deep to help that become the sub sim that everyone here dreams of but that is so hardcore and niche no games company will EVER make for highstreet sale.
