Realtime trains free download - Realtime Train Schedules: CTA, RealTime, RealTime, and many more programs. Try it out in our new game of train simulator. Realtime UK Train Departure Times. Welcome to British Trainz. This is a fan site for the Trainz railway simulator series. Here you will find freeware releases made by myself (Marky7890) for trainz. The scenery items are mainly based on real buildings around Cornwall and West Devon (for routes I'm currently building).
So what is SimSig?
Welcome to the world of railway signalling! SimSig brings the signal box to your home PC and with it the enjoyment and frustrations of running today's (and some of yesterday's) railways. How often has your train been delayed because of 'signal failure' and you've wondered why trains can't be routed around the problem - or why it is even a problem in the first place? You'll soon see exactly why - with SimSig!
SimSig puts you in the seat of a signaller, also called a Dispatcher or Network Control Officer, operating signalling screens based on the widely used IECC and Westcad graphics used in the UK. That is, you operate the signals and points/switches in order to get trains to their destinations on time. SimSig has a wide range of areas you can operate including large portions of the UK, a small US simulation, and a couple of Australian areas. Each has its own challenges and skill level, the latter ranging from easy to mentally complicated.

The Brief Specs
- Replicates the operation of British IECCs (Integrated Electronic Control Centres)
- All signalling equipment simulated (track circuits, points, signals, etc.)
- Correct signalling (overlaps, aspect sequencing, approach control)
- Emphasis is on quality and realism, not quantity
- Used by signallers, drivers, and other professionals from all over the world
- User oriented - tell us what you want, we'll try to produce it!
- Free demo downloads of every simulation available right now
SimSig runs on Windows 7, 8.0, 8.1, and 10.
SimSig also runs on emulators such as Wine for Linux and Crossover for Mac. This is not guaranteed but we try to keep such emulators supported. Tablets and phones are not supported.
How much is it?
You can peruse prices in our Shop but we have several free simulations, then range from under £10 upwards, depending on the complexity of the simulation. All simulations come with an evaluation period so you can try before you buy.
Can I play with friends?
Yes! Many of our simulations are suitable for multiplayer. The larger simulations have as many as nine positions keeping people busy. But many simulations also have optional automation such as ARS (Automatic Route Setting) which means you can run a larger simulation by yourself.
Multiplayer works over the Internet, or your home LAN. One person acts as the host while others connect with an IP address and port number. We have run multiplayers across the world with members in the UK, the US, Australia, Europe, and elsewhere.
Many simulations can be 'chained', which is where adjacent areas can be linked together to form a larger area.
Can I contribute?
Train Simulator Pc Download Free
Unlike other products, anybody can write a timetable using the in-built timetable editor. We also do not charge for extra timetables. Our files area has plenty of user-contributed timetables to download.
Sorry, users cannot produce simulations themselves.
What does it look like?
Here we have the free Liverpool Street simulation running. ARS (automatic route setting) is setting the routes but we can easily take over. The eighteen platforms at Liverpool Street in London are very busy during the morning rush hour that we see here. The blue four-character labels are the train descriptions (like a flight number) such as 2H07. The signaller can identify the routing and destination of the train from that train description. The flashing white blobs indicate that a train is ready to depart. White lines show route set for trains, while you can see the signals showing red (stop), yellow (caution), double yellow (preliminary caution), or green.

I've never been able to muster much enthusiasm about trains, but 1 have sympathy for those who do. When I was asked to go and look at Microsoft's Train Simulator, the very words filled me with a kind of quiet dread. How could anyone think about taking a form of transport that is fundamentally boring in the first place, and actually try to simulate that boredom?
However, after seeing the sim I wouldn't say I was actually a convert, but I've a little more appreciation for what the thermo-clutching masses are on about. And the fact remains that some people just adore trains -usually quiet men of a certain age who remember when trains were interesting, romantic even, and when a new a la carte menu didn't just mean the same crap as before only with a sprig of parsley on top.
This sim, which seems destined to do for trains what Flight Simulator did for planes, puts you primarily in the role of an engine driver in charge of one of a number of steam, diesel and electric locomotives and allows you to drive them across 600 miles of authentically landscaped real-world routes. Alternatively, you can just take a passenger's eye view and spend the time admiring the digital scenery.You're not going to be driving the 5.15 from Liverpool Street to Southend either, because Microsoft has chosen to go down the more commercially viable 'period* route. This puts you in the driving seat on routes such as The Flying Scotsman from Settle to Carlisle in the 1920s, or a modern-day freight train through the Rocky Mountains.Each train requires a different style of driving, from extending the flange valve and cranking up the ratchet handle on the steam locomotives (which will undoubtedly be the game's strongest selling point), to the random button pushing and dial watching involved in manipulating the current electric beasts. It's every trainspotter's wet dream.
One of the most unique things about the package, and one that will reach deep into the hearts of train enthusiasts everywhere, is the route editor package included with the game, which contains many of the original tools used to create the sim. This will allow you to create your own rail routes and locomotives, plus terraform and decorate the landscape to suit your whims.
There's no doubt that this feature makes the possible scope for TYain Sim huge. Expect to see new routes, locomotives, landscapes and buildings, spreading like Internet wildfire after the game's release this spring. These people are dedicated.
Boring or not, TYain Simulator is breaking new ground for sim games, and if it attracts the same kind of audience as Flight Sim, its success is assured. But let's hope it stops there; a couple of years from now I don't want to be previewing Caravan Sim -all the thrills and spills of open-road caravanning from the comfort of your bedroom...
