Not only during the dust-dry, but at least interactive tutorial missions, I was constantly torn between boredom and a fascination probably also stemming from childhood memories of model railways. In contrast to the Train Simulator, there is even another parallel to the model railroad: Depending on the game mode, you can also set the points instead of just sitting behind the switches as a train driver. Almost like in my childhood, when I rushed my MГ¤rklin Z-gauge trains over the rails on a three-square-meter plywood sheet in the basement until they blew out of the curves. One turn to the right or left and the locomotive including freight or passenger wagons becomes faster or slower or moves in the opposite direction. You donвЂ™t have to worry about the different types of brakes. A measure of the product's comprehensive nature might be the fact that one of the provided third-party object sets is a mix of wooden toy trains, track and decorations, much like the Brio or Thomas the Tank Engine sets popular with young children.The simple variant, on the other hand, works essentially like a model railroad: A rotary control is used to set the amount of force the machines will use to be transferred to the rails. Maps can be set-up in the various model scales (HO, N, etc.).

It has a platform feel and indeed could be used as a planning tool for a home set-up. The Surveyor tool is one of the best - if not the best - map/scenario editor yet seen. Trainz 2004 might easily be regarded as a double simulation, of both the real world of train driving and the miniature world of model train layouts. In either mode, not all driving need be done from in the cab the keyboard can be used for control from the outside views. This is a much more involved way of driving the trains, especially for the tricky and temperamental steam engines. Cab mode gives you direct mouse-click 3D interactive control over the very levers and switches that control the meticulously reproduced virtual locomotives. Two modes of control are available, the Digital Command Control (DCC) presents an easy-to-use HUD-style interface much like the controls of a miniature model train set, with a simple dial for forward and back throttle control.

The main menu now offers the Driver and Scenarios choices for train play, Surveyor for scenario creation, the Railyard for viewing your collection of cars and locomotives and the Trainz Exchange, a direct link to online resources. It's all fine and dandy and looks nice enough, but really, are you going to buy it? Thought not.

Controls areД®ither simplistic (twiddle the knob to go forward or back), or nod towards proper simulation by letting you sit in the cabs and pull the various levers.ДЄlternatively, if you're power-crazy you can go all managerial and assign remote drivers to different tasks - yes, the time has finally come to fulfil those long-held dreams of being a railway supervisor. You drive trains, all manner of the buggers, around pre-built tracks - or build your own layouts and create your own worlds of make-believe. Trainz 2004 takes that much-loved boyhood/middle-aged pastime of building a model railway in your attic and crams it kicking and screaming into your CPUs. Seriously, is there any non-computerised hobby left to us that hasn't been digitised, virtualityarised and interactivated? (Stop makinguperising words Presley - Ed). What's left then? Virtual Kite Flying? Interactive Frisbee Simulator? No, got it - Hill Walking 2004: The Dales.
