Publisher's description of CATrain

From Joel Bouchat: CaTrain is a tool for designing, simulating, and controlling model railways. The design mode allows the user to draw a simplified layout, including devices such as turnouts, signals, and level crossing. The running mode permits the checking of the layout by concurrently running several trains on it. The trains that have been installed on the railway are animated on the screen.

The trains can either circulate under manual control or automatically, following user-defined itineraries. Automatic mode controls the journey, the schedule, and the track contention for every train while setting the turnouts and the signals as required. When the PC is connected to a dedicated controller, CaTrain can control a real model railway.

CATrain

very good

by: Doom_Goat on 22-Jul-2005 02:29:46 PM

Pros: lots of trains, track styles. is good for a physical railroad, or yto just use as a program. there are very little railroad games now, so this is very good program compared with other free ones.

Cons: the help files are not updated, = worthless help. No explanation how to do anything. (u learn on ur own fast though)
