I've loved trains since childhood. Grew up around them, got some lionels, later built n gauge shelf railroad. All very fun and yes, costly. Always seems the market keeps ahead of my wallet. I now have Trainz, software by Auran. I can create any layout including structures, terrain, paint, etc., any equipment from around the world, enjoy all the sound effects, climb into my trains and run them from the cab or casually enjoy the vistas of my layouts from the rear of an observation car [california Zephyr]or from the cupola or deck of a caboose, or I can jump ahead to any location on my layout [we call them routes] I program, wait for the train and hear it approaching, with bell and horn if I decide, watch the consist that i assembled pass by from a 360 degree viewing angle. This is virtual model railroading, and it all fits in a space the size of a postcard. Yes you need the initial investment of a decent computer and about $50, but from there its basically free, and limitless. I've had more fun with this than any previous modeling experience.
