Publisher's description of CATrain
From Joel Bouchat:CaTrain is a tool for designing, simulating, and controlling model railways. The design mode allows the user to draw a simplified layout, including devices such as turnouts, signals, and level crossing. The running mode permits the checking of the layout by concurrently running several trains on it. The trains that have been installed on the railway are animated on the screen.
The trains can either circulate under manual control or automatically, following user-defined itineraries. Automatic mode controls the journey, the schedule, and the track contention for every train while setting the turnouts and the signals as required. When the PC is connected to a dedicated controller, CaTrain can control a real model railway.

Cons: the help files are not updated, = worthless help. No explanation how to do anything. (u learn on ur own fast though)

Version: CATrain 1.82
Summary: Ok boys and girls. Not everything found on this sight is a game. This program, although entertaining, is NOT a GAME. It is used to design and automate the control of a model railroad. It is an excellent program for doing just that! For those of you ... read more >>

"It seems to be fun, but isn't."
Summary: The idea is good, but it's tricky to play and the features are poor too. Railroads aren't easy to construct and there are many bad thinks about this game.
But the idea is good, to see the good idea you must certainly try it out. - See all 17 user reviews Write review
