In MSTS, one is not limited to play with the engine-coach-freight stock supplied. However, I don't know if any university uses MSTS to do that. I believe in some advanced Railway/Transport engineering courses a lot of traffic simulation is done. Sadly, the course was designed to make us get the pass mark in exam rather than imparting any real knowledge of train operations. In university, I had a course on transportation engineering. In fact, my dad was also started driving trains once I installed the game to his computer (so far he used to play with Solitaire only). Most of them got answered by playing the game itself. I got so entangled with the game I started to delve the Internet to find out how electric motors, air brakes, power control etc work I had many doubts from childhood about trains. The hissing sound of air brake release gives a feeling that now you can roll this 1500 ton train! Though I have never driven a real life train but now I can at least say that I can learn it driving in no time. Most trains have been decorated to the extent of real life train. But MSTS gave me the true feeling of driving a real train! This game is very informative. I enjoyed (and still do) Hornby/Lima OO scale model railways. I am always fascinated about rails from my childhood. The movement of wheels and pistons can be seen, which sparkles the engineer in every man's heart! (Women don't get too much fun from train driving - they prefer more to watch trains running as screen saver). In real life, I don't like steam locomotives, but in MSTS I like to play ( read drive) them most. The whistle of locomotives is scintillating. The physics behind MSTS is not 100% accurate but I must say it is really appreciable.

You can view the entire train (and surrounding scenery) in full 3D from any angle. Your view is not just confined to the driver's cab. The lush green meadows, Victorian style stations, hanging bridges and much more can be seen on your way. Manoeuvring a plane is a challenge, but once you take it to the skies, there is not much to see around you! Where as in MSTS, you drive a train along real (or fictitious) routes. That was wonderful but I never fell in love with that as I did in Train Simulator. You can become a passenger also (but that's not much fun anyway). It is estimated that 500,000 people in the world regularly play this game (and the number is increasing). Rather you enjoy riding (I rather say driving) a train with realistic constraints. You don't race with anyone or don't solve a puzzle.

Train Simulator is the best game I have ever played on PC. It is not meant to be an introduction of the game.

This article reflects my personal feeling about Microsoft/Kuju Train Simulator (MSTS for short) PC game.
