description Trainz Overview

Trainz is a series of personal-computer train simulators launched in 2001 by the Australian developer Auran. The series combines train operation with route building, scenery editing, and other tools for creating or modifying railway content. Its emphasis on user-generated material distinguishes it from more limited driving simulators, and the games have attracted a large community of players who build and share routes, vehicles, and scenery.
