Should I get previous versions of Trainz

[ajleske]

Hi All,

So far I only have TS10 (and a couple add-ons). Like the title says, is there any point in buying the older versions as well (i.e. Trainz Driver, Trainz Classics 1 & 2, TS09 World Builder etx)? Do they have extra routes and content that is not available in TS10?

Cheers, Aaron

If it were me I wouldn't bother. They have all been great in one way or another, but 10 has all the routes, and you really don't need the other versions.

Unless you miss Paintshed so much, then buy TRS2006 Trainz Railwayz Build 3337 by Merscom (requires no SP)

For lower end PC's that do not run 09/10/12 well ... TRS2006 is an alternative as it runs on slower PC's.

TRS2004 is a similar version to TRS2006, and can probably do most of the things that TRS2006 can do, but in a stable and CMP-free package.

Regards.

Just go with TS2010 in my opinion

For example, TS2010 contains both routes from TC 1&2 - Harlem Line and Metropolis - Modula City. Many routes from TRS 2004 and TRS 2006 are included in TS2010. I had a large route from TC1&2 that I imported into TS 2010 with mostly no problems except for some DLS stuff I put in TC1&2. I believe that all the built-in content from TC1&2 is in TS2010 - if I'm wrong someone should correct me.

Bottom line - TS2004, TS2006, and TC1&2 have all been removed from my PC and I'm using TS 2010 exclusively, in native mode for performance purposes. Stuff that is broke can either be fixed or replaced by something just as good from the DLS. As another plus, TS2010 runs much better on my laptop than TC1&2 ever did.
