I agree Railroad Tycoon 3 is much better than sid's railroads!....if you like the model trainset style game play....RRT3 has the day to night transitions as well as different types of weather....track laying is much easier, and overall 3-d world looks alot nicer when you can zoom in at eye level.
sid's might become something in a following series...but, for now Tycoon series has much better gameplay and has more options available with its interface....sid's has neat loading animations for the cargo and buildings/structures thats about it....not to mention its in need of a patch for its unstable multiplayer connectivity.
I prefer Trainz for more simulation style of gameplay...you can run trainz like a model railroad or as a 1st person sim....the campaign and economy is a bit more complicated because you might be tied to a passengers schedule or a the needs of a facility like a powerplant that might shut down if you dont ship coal or oil in time to keep it running, etc.
Two different games, both very fun.
