TrainPlayer Software brings model railroading out of the
basement and onto your screen!
If you design, build, or
operate a model railroad -- or you ever thought about
doing so -- or you just like to run trains -- then
you're in the right place! TrainPlayer offers
thousands of great layouts you can run, simple but precise tools
so you can design and build your own, and an integrated
system for operations. Running trains couldn't
be easier -- our software is fully granddad-approved,
designed for people who like trains more than
computers.
