FULL DETAILS

* Unsupported Product. Limit one per person.

Here it is - the very first "official retail release" of Trainz. So wind back your clocks to the year 2002 and discover where it all started. 

Here's what the original website said about Trainz version 1, 15 long years ago...

Virtual Railroading on your PC

Collect - Create - Control

The first release of Trainz includes Surveyor, Driver and My Collection.

Trainz Railroad Simulator is the most detailed and immersive railroad experience ever, letting you control almost every aspect of a working railroad. Let your imagination run free as you create stunning 3D worlds, take charge of thousands of tons of heavy freight or simply keep your passengers happy as you take on the challenges of a real train engineer. Add to the excitement by controlling multiple locomotives, coordinating activities, switching junctions and ensuring each train arrives safely at its destination.

Surveyor: an easy to use and addictive world editor

Move mountains, construct cities, create dense forests and lay your tracks, roads and power lines using this powerful and intuitive world editor. Add life to your creations by controlling the weather conditions, setting the lighting moods and adding animated industries. Choose from the 1000's of objects included, download new free custom content or create your own.

Driver: a full driving simulation and much more

Assemble your favorite trains in preparation for a busy day of operations. As engineer, climb into the full 3D cab, and take charge of passenger runs, shunting yard exercises and heavy freight movements. Choose from the simple or realistic controls, or simply sit back and admire the spectacular scenery. For a completely different perspective, switch on the autopilot and operate all the junctions as you ensure the safe and smooth running of your own private railroad.

My Collection: engine shed showcase

Examine the stunningly detailed and extensive collection of different locos, passenger cars, freight wagons, tank cars and cabooses! Study powerful diesel workhorses from Britain, classic switchers from the USA or high speed electric passenger locos from the Continent. Discover the background and detailed statistics for each car or loco and operate the horn, headlights or pantographs. You can also check out all your downloaded custom content including steam locos, traction engines and more.

Here's a link to the original website.

And of course, check out what the press were saying about Trainz 15 years ago...
