RailWorks, later renamed to Train Simulator, is the successor to Rail Simulator, developed by the same company that worked on Microsoft Train Simulator. Released in 2009 on Steam and is notable for two things: the yearly updates are free if you already own the game and its Downloadable Content.The base game costs $40 and comes with several routes note depending on the year, previously included routes are sold as DLC in the United States, UK, and Germany along with one train for each route. Additional trains and routes, which count in the dozens, go for $8-$40 each (some of which depend on each other). However, it does make use of Steam Works for user generated content.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Aside from that, the game's premise is the same as the other train simulators. You control a variety of trains from steam driven trains, diesel trains, to electric trains. Depending on the type of route, you'll be picking up and dropping off commuters to delivering cargo. Of course, you can't just simply hit forward and let it run, you'll also have to obey speed limits and semaphore signals. If you're a commuter train, you'll have to adhere to a tight schedule and Automatic Warning Systems (designed to ensure you're paying attention). You can also control the train using a variety of input devices, including the controller, keyboard, and if you want a full on experience, using the mouse to look in the cabin and manipulating the appropriate control.Unlike other vehicle simulators of a similar type, RailWorks features to-scale locations with no space-time compression involved whatsoever. Rolling along in a 100+ car train? If you stop the camera to look outside of the train at a static location, you'll find it does take several real-world minutes for the entire thing to pass.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Rail Works (Video Game) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
While the controls are All There in the Manual, there's quite a few actions like signaling traffic controllers or switching rail lines that are rarely used but strictly enforced. | |

Bland-Name Product | |
| Rail Works (Video Game) / int_2b5ea43c | comment |
Bland-Name Product: Averted, as the rolling stock are real-world replicas, down to the interior. It's certainly not Product Placement though, which may explain why the DLC costs so much. | |

Cool Train | |
| Rail Works (Video Game) / int_a632f7fa | comment |
Cool Train: Rolling stocks do include steam trains, as well as the modern German InterCity Express. Much of the recent dlcs certainly take the cake being cool locomotives themselves and so does much of the UK content. | |

| Rail Works (Video Game) / int_fc151e9d | comment |
Department of Redundancy Department: The opening video for the 2017 version starts off with "Precision: the quality of being precise." In their defense, most definitions of the word do start off something like that. | |
