<p>I had a trains 2004 with the very wonderful 2-8-0 and I can never find a replacement since the disk wore out. Making up a train (With the required cars to satisfy the switch list) in the yard and then heading up the branch to the sawmill was what it was all about for me.</p><p>I had other simulators since then and I run a powerful computer here.. those never really did it as good as trainz 04 did. I did buy a copy of the NYC Steam engine and since resold it on ebay. My main beef with that particular sim was that the sound files on the steamer depended on your current speed... has nothing to do with the settings of the controls.</p><p>For me, I need that stack talk done right with the software so I can understand what the steam engine is up to.</p><p>I hope that future simulators will behave according to the world and your input via the cab controls. Pull into a station and have the thing silence down when you close the throttle will make it just about perfect. I get this on the FSX Deluxe and they need to do it with the train sims.</p><p>Sometime ago I heard about the Microsoft Trainsim Two featuring the PRR M1a on the cover and the developer bailed out and the project was closed down. However I hope that they will include some heavy steam in the next sim that has at least something to do with operations somewhere in the USA.</p>
