"Old hands" may remember me from my earlier years running TRS2004 and 2006, and how I disappeared as other pursuits took priority, but now I am back with a fresh start running Trainz: A New Era. Reviews of this latest version of Trainz have been mixed, but I for one like what I see very much, as I've seen how far this game has come from the days of SP3 and TRS2004, it is built on very strong foundations, and although there are teething troubles with the new release, I still think Trainz has a bright future ahead of it.
