2.0 out of 5 stars Better routes available for free, April 3, 2003

There's some interesting scenery here but on the whole this route and the rolling stock are far inferior to most of the freeware routes available on the internet. Go to train-sim.com and look around. There are also much better payware routes, made by people who truly care about trains. Check out Sandpatch, Cajon Pass, Protrains 2 and many others.

3.0 out of 5 stars Signals lacking, April 7, 2003

By 

JB Friedland (Rochester, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Scenic Railway: add-on for Microsoft Train Simulator (CD-ROM)

While this small railroad is a good starter, with some interesting, unchallanging activites...the fact is that this is basically a one track system with passing sidings and there is NO signalling, which makes opposing traffic impossible. The package is unrealistic and lacks elements that are likely to make this something which will be used for more than a short time.

One aspect that might interest some users; due to its small size it is relatively easy to create your own activities and even modify the track system using the tools provided by Microsoft with your train simulator program purchase.
