    "Hard to rate if I can't install it!!!"

    October 27, 2011  |   By raptor4444

    Version: Rule the Rail 1.5

    Pros

    No "Pros", since I can't install it!

    Cons

    The install box only shows step 1 with no step 2 button to continue the install. This occurs with this one Rule The Rails and Iron Horses.

    "Brain Bombers Classic !"

    May 23, 2011  |   By 48Leopard48

    Version: Rule the Rail 1.5

    Pros

    Very easy to set up especially for Windows Vista and windows 7.
    Intuitive design makes it very easy to lay tracks and watch trains run with scenery. Blows away other Train simulators .

    Cons

    Its getting dated . The add-ons from other sites From skyscrapers to stadiums are great IF you can down load them properly ! Most People can't , a lesson in futility .

    Summary

    Hope Brain Bombers updates this classic !

    Updated on Nov 6, 2011

    Checkout Littleville Depot or Gnome RTR for help with 3rd party models, (trains buildings, etc)! These sites were excellent in helping me to move files to there proper locations so you can view them on RTR ! After about a year I would now rate this train simulation software at 5 stars for there support and FUN factor!

    "Model railroading for those without floor space."

    April 20, 2011  |   By Dmarends

    Version: Rule the Rail 1.5

    Pros

    Works great on my 64-bit Windows system.
    Expandable, a large user base creating new objects and rolling stock.
    Limited by computer size and imagination.

    Cons

    Larger layouts take fairly powerful machine to run smoothly.
    Track laying is only moderately flexible, restricted to the sizes provided.

    Summary

    This is a great program for anyone who likes model railroading but doesn't have the room to build a "real" one. Layouts can be almost any size and trains can be controlled for speed and direction.

    This is a true model railroading simulator, not a train simulator. Build your track plan, rural and urban areas, mountains, rivers, road crossings. Place buildings and people. Be as detailed, or not, as you wish.

    If the base game and the expansion packs aren't enough for you, there are several user forums and websites devoted to even more add-ons.

    Whether you like building the layout or just running trains, you'll enjoy this program.
