Hi. I did have a pirated copy of the game for 40 hours. But since the game is actually worth its full price, i came here, and bought the thing. The game is good, no doubt about it. All the good luck to developers.

I have over 180 hours playing this game. I'm pretty sure I could start up and steal a real steam locomotive at this point.

I would like to preface that I am a professional railroader by trade(Conductor but 20 years exp and I have driven many times). To the developers: Despite this game being somewhat unrealistic in some minor aspects, it is a masterpiece in many many other ways. I have played many rail sims over the years and I must say this is the best by far when it comes to feel of driving an actual train. Also the conductors work is a real nice touch. If only you could have dynamic events like foreman or slow orders also Bulletins and clearances to act on. I'm excited to see what the future brings for this game. You have outdone yourselves, BRAVO!

Offers excellent PC & VR exprience. The content isn't much, and the development is slow, but everything is well-planned to enrich gameplay. Locos aren't many, but they offer unique driving experiences. The map is small, yet the routes are challenging. Graphics and details are not the best, but the dev does optimization. Gargets add life to the game despite not being "Real" in a simulator game, which is a genius idea. Better than TSW. The game is limited to a smaller developing scale, but the dev crafted it with heart, releasing quality FREE updates, rather than no-brain copying real-life locos to make FIVE cash grab games and hunderds of $ worth of DLCs.
