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.

demo, see for yourself.

"This is probably the best model
railroad program out for computers. I can think of
nothing that surpasses it for simplicity and elegance." Doug
Parrish,
May 2011
"TrainPlayer has put an incredible amount
of time and effort into Ops and it's paying off ... I'm
having a ball working through the switchlists."
Mark Johnson, Mar 2011
"Not only is the TP program pure genius, but the
group enjoying it is beyond great -helpful, humorous,
and always hungry for more. You can't beat it anywhere!"
Hans Olson, Mar 2011
