Hi Sara! Welcome to Trainz! My first purchase was T:ANE Standard Edition in the box, but I recommend getting the deluxe if you can find it, there is much more to it, and it is a lot to download if you get the deluxe bundle later like I did. I am hoping someone else can speak to TS2019. There is the full version, which I recommend, and there are regional versions, so I don't know which ones are available in a box. I assume you would not want the subscription services, as they provide a lot of extra content, but it is all by download. Also, be aware that any service packs or updates after purchase will be download only. There is a cornucopia of downloadable assets and routes, but be aware that the default download speed is very slow, around 5-9KB/sec, so downloads can take a while. That may be a blessing on a metered connection, as you control just how much you download over a given period of time. Feel free to keep an eye on the forums, as there is a lot being discussed all the time, and you will have access to more forums once you have a registered version.
