Publisher's description of Rule the Rail
Plan. Build. Control. See a fully functional plotting table on your screen. If you've ever been struck in amazement by the miniature, colorful, and alive world of toy trains and wanted to plan your system and place every tiny house and tree accordingly. If you ever have wanted the ability to turn controls on and off, set the meters, and watch the trains buzz by, or be able to switch off the lights in your room and see how the night lights up in dozens of small bulbs, then try Rule the Rail.
Version 1.1 adds better water simulation, the ability to move the train manually, an editable control board, and fixes bugs.

Version: Rule the Rail 1.1
"All Train Lovers jump on board because this program is fun to see!"
Pros: Pros
Excellent 3D GRAPHICS - Love the Trains!
It is worth the $14.00 USD they ask for, Excellent quality and thought put into this program!
Cons: Yes you have to read the short manual (This sounds kind of small but this is a major flaw and is probably costing some users to quit early on!) The tutorial is a huge help!
- Memory Hog Lags, sometimes if runninng a while.
PS I thought this was going to be more like a tycoon mogul style game! If they added that style of game play I�d be addicted forever! PS had trouble with one of my 2 XP�s I tested on. Not sure why but I think it is a graphics issue.

Version: Rule the Rail 1.1
Pros: This is fun, you can actually control a train. The graphics are good.
Cons: If you've bin running the program for a long time, the images can get a bit slow, especially if you have a slow computer.

Version: Rule the Rail 1.1
"Nice..if you take some time.. and play around with it.."
Pros: The MANUAL or directions for this thing is a PDF file, you will need Adobe reader and it's hidden under C, Program files, BrainBombers, Rule the Rail, Documents.. For you guys that couldn't find the directions like me... I finally notice it!

Version: Rule the Rail 1.1
Pros: It seems like a really good program with the potential to do some fun things
Cons: There are no instructions and no tutorial. Clicking the Help tab yields only an advertisement to buy the expansion packs. I figured out how to do a few simple things like lay tracks, but there is no explanation of how to do other things, like make the trains move. I lost patience after 45 minutes of trying to figure out the basics and gave up. Maybe someone with some knowledge of the way model trains work or some experience with the interface for this game would have more luck.
