Don't know of any either. Most simulation-based games are very graphic intensive, so they cost more money to make (therefore, less likely to be free).

It's not free, but the cheapest one available that I know of is Trainz Railroad Simulator 2004, available from Auran Games of Australia.

For infomation, check their Web site at http://www.railroadsimulator.com

Haven't installed it so I don't know how much functionality it has but Auran (sp?) does offer a free demo version of their outstanding Trainz software. Trainz is video-intensive so requires a contemporary & powerful PC. You can find it on their website.
