Nice shots there, but do you get to do anything else in Train Sim besides control  the speed of your train?

Yes, be careful not to run over the deer grazing on the tracks.  ;D
I used it for a bit,...got bored pretty quickly and I am a huge train fan. I have a 1965 Lionel set up from my grandfather and a brand new Lionel set I got last year!
I actually fell asleep once in the train sim. I woke up an hour later and was still just rolling along the tracks,....I hope I didn't hit anything!
Actually, I do remember some fur in my cow catcher............. ;D

Anyway, nice shots Eno and thanks for "something different"!

The second locomotive is definitely a Dash 9,
but the lead unit looks more like an SD-40.
Nice shots by the way.

Very cool!  I used to work for BNSF!  Plus I had the old Lionel electric train set.  They never did live up to my flying experience, but I don't know one kid from my era that did not have an electric train of some kind.

They are colectors items now... ;D

My dad still has his 50's Lionel train set...completely original, except the original cabousse got replaced by an identical one(only the body part), cause I dropped a CO2 bottle on it.(can you say, shatter?).

But hey, the locomotive is valued at almost $1000 alone...

That would be cool, but if they did that, then they should pay for the insurance for the car, because mine are gonna skyrocket. ;D

Nice shots, though I think I prefer watching trains in real life.

driving simulator would be cool but consider the sheer amount of scenery it would involve!! :o
