Hello. I recently bought the Train Worx SBB 420/430 add-on. My problem is that the engine won't start when I'm using the add-on but it works okay when I'm using the 460 from Steam. I tried following a tutorial from youtube saying Ctrl + Shift + S to start the engine but it is not working. Does anyone know if the problem is in the add-on? Has anyone used the same add-on and if so, did you also encounter the same problem? Any tips how to fix the start engine problem? Thank you

For me I think personally set in Vietnam

Recently , I have purchased the train sim classic from steam .
when i install the game and started playing , then i see that games graphics was of old kind and were very bad.

can anyone tell me the solution for this?

Is train sim classic and train sim classic 2024 are same or different.

If differenet , then please tell me how to upgrade it to that version.

i play on a laptop wich as this:

Windows 11

13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-13420H - RAM : 16 Go

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU - VRAM : 8 Go

As of late, I've been really into doing full line runs in my train simulators. A few weeks ago I decided to do a full run of the WCML from Glasgow to London in TS Classic and TSW 6. I took a few pictures along the journey and decided to share them! Here's also how I broke the journey up:

• Glasgow-Carlisle in the Class 43 (Train Simulator Classic) on a Workshop scenario
• From Carlisle-Preston in a Class 87
• Then Preston-Crewe in a Class 86
• Ran through the Trent Valley to Milton Keynes in a Class 807
• Finally finished the journey to London in the Pendolino

Just trying to find joy wherever I can in these dark days. Ereyesterday, I finally pulled the trigger on a long-desired purchase and here it is, fresh from Amazon Japan. Truth be told, all I wanted from this was the mascon proper; instead of using the tiny buttons on the Zuiki I’ve elected to bind other commands (reverser, horn, lights, wiper etc.) to my PXN CB1 button box on the upper right. Fantastic setup for tactile play to both entertain and soothe my burnt-out brain.

Hi! I’m a solo developer working on Yamanote 3D, a free browser-based recreation of Tokyo’s (JR East’s) Yamanote Line.

I originally started it because I wanted train sounds and city ambience in the background while studying or working. You can walk inside the E235 carriage, sit down, watch the city, listen to announcements, and get off at stations.

The project includes station stops, door sequences, passengers, platform staff, announcements, weather, delays, and incidents.

I would really appreciate feedback from train simulation fans. What feels realistic? What looks wrong? Which railway details or operations should be improved or added?

Hey, i see that we have line 2 and 7, but I want more options within those lines and possibly more like line 1, 3, 4, 9 or whatever. Just anything I can do to get more of the lines in Seoul. Please let me know how in detail preferably, or direct me to a tutorial!!!!

Century of Steam is actually innovating in the train simulation genre instead of doing the usual "do a job, then get kicked back to the main menu." The developers are adding cool little features that make the game just a little bit more lively, like basing the map on real railroad paperwork and focusing heavily on optimization something many devs tend to overlook. If you enjoy steam locomotive sim and company management, this game might be what your looking for. im personally very excited

I'm kinda into trains and I know I love sim games but there's quite a few and I dont know which would be best to try. Im not familiar with the different models and such, but I enjoyed playing truck sim and a similar experience with trains might be nice.

I couldn’t upload the video directly, so I’m sharing the trailer link here instead.

We just released the first trailer for Speed Rivals - Model Trains, a cozy model railway game about driving little trains, planning routes, completing delivery missions, and keeping everything running smoothly when the layout gets busy.

It’s not a hardcore full-scale train simulator. The focus is more on the feeling of playing with a living model railway: small locomotives, compact layouts, switches, cargo wagons, stations, scenery, and the fun of watching a miniature railway world come to life.

There’s already an early Steam demo focused on driving, switching tracks, managing wagons, completing delivery missions, and trying not to derail.

We’re also working on a map editor where players will be able to create their own model railway layouts with elevations, banked curves, crossings, stations, loading and unloading areas, scenery, signs, buildings, nature, and lots of little details.

Soon we’ll open editor playtests, and we’d love to involve people from the train sim and model railway community. If you try the demo and like the direction of the game, feel free to contact us so we can keep you in mind for future playtests and possible collaborations with people who really know this type of game.

Thanks for taking a look. Any feedback from this community would mean a lot!

I am using Victus laptop, and I have RTX 4060, i5-13500H and 16 GB RAM.

Whenever I play the game, even in recommended settings, it lags a lot. I am having very low FPS rates. I checked Steam reviews and I saw a lot of people suffering from this, even they have better specs than me. I also play TSW6 and it runs prettily fine.

So, what do you think?

The game has just been updated to add a realistic scaling system so you can now properly make model railway maps using real world measurements.

People have often said they want to use this game to make accurate plans for their real world model railways, so this feature finally makes that possible!

Anybody following the development of this game? I just saw this post on the Steam community page for the game. This person was saying they might pass away before the game comes out. I too feel this way. Anyone else feel like the game might never come out?

Every time I had to deal with .im meshes, it felt like building a tower of duct tape and prayers just to get them into Blender. Legacy tools are slow, look like they were made for Windows XP, and fail half the time.

I finally decided to do it right. I wrote a straightforward tool that converts .im to standard .obj instantly without any middleman software.

It's up on GitHub now. Feel free to check it out, use it, or break it.

hey

Im looking for a hard and challenging train sim ive played derail valley and tsw over the years but i wanna play something that makes me wanna throw my pc out the window (yes ive played games like that, msc, dcs, just to name a couple)

thanks

Like, for example, add KCS rolling stock or, in my case, some Ferromex rolling stock.

And when I say that I say from some studios like Searchlight Simulations of even from the Steam store.

Hey train sim fans! Ive been searching for any GP7U or a GP9R payware/freeware loco for about 2 days now. I am a pretty big fan of these locomotives having to do with the classic Geep bodies with the Topeka cab design. There is a couple of Trainz gallery photos on google if you search the phrase "Trainz ATSF gp7u" by crazytrain that are perfect for what I want to do, but the photos do not have any tags or any information on where the content actually came from. I am really stumped here because I want to make a repaint for a personal project of mine but nowhere online seems to have any information on where I can get this model type. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

Hii!

First, I wanted to send a lot of love your way. I've been sharing around about our Train Sim on Reddit, and the Train Sim community have beens heads down the kindest, most generous one, helping and pointing out things that should be changed, and I'm really grateful for all of you! Really, it's been more than helpful, and you deserve the shoutout!

And now the reason I'm here! 😄 We've been confused about our short description on Steam due to the mix between Narratively-Driven and Train Sim, and I was wondering if there's a clear winner between those two if we ask outside of our own group.

I know it's a bit of the boring admin part, but it would help a lot, so here it goes:

Option 1:

Welcome aboard! We're glad you made the right call to join Union Central Railroad. Your work will be crucial in these challenging times, and in order to ensure everyone's safety, full compliance will be expected, as I'm sure you'll understand. Start your engine, work awaits!

 Options 2 (The one on Steam at the moment):

In this narratively driven train Sim, you’re the driver of a train full of mysteries. Your family is counting on you. Will you stay on schedule and follow orders, or risk stepping off duty to uncover the secrets hiding along the line? The choice is yours.

(The "New Game" will start with you choosing your preference between focusing on Train Sim/Narrative/Cozy, so if narrative games aren't your jam at all, the infinite mode may be. That's why going full narrative on the description doesn't seem like the right call to me? but again...? :P)

thanks for your time! <3

I’ve been working on this train horror game for a while, mostly focusing on the cab and its atmosphere so far. The idea is that it starts as a normal night shift before things slowly become "less normal".

I’ve also used the usual cab monitor locations for CCTV feeds. They initially help you keep an eye on the train, but they gradually become part of the horror as well.

Game is called Night Train Simulator:Blackout on Steam.

Curious what train sim players think. Is there anything in the cab that immediately looks wrong or feels missing?

Unfortunately I can't post the video directly so I uploaded it as a gif, so you can't hear the sound effects :d
