Free Roam These scenarios are for free exploration of a route. They normally feature several locomotives in the vicinity of the camera when loaded up, allowing a choice of trains, by clicking on a locomotive to use it. Store This is where you can browse the vast collection of additional add-ons available for Train Simulator from Dovetail Games. In this video I show how to create a free roam scenario in Train Simulator and how to get the best out of it when running it. It was also a great opportunity.

After having success with the first two scenario packs, we come up with some new improvements that we let flow into the third scenario pack. We are proud to present this outstanding large piece of software after an unexpected long time of development. The numbers of about 100 wagons and 500 AI vehicles beat all of our previous addon records. Our regular customers who already own the first scenario packs will have to discover a lot, as well: the vehicle pool is expanding of 8 new engine classes, about 50 new engine paintworks and 13 new wagon models with several paintings - all in all 175 novelties.
We are able to pep our scenarios based on this huge vehicle pool. We can arrange services in operation more realistic and show new operational situations. On top we deliver new objects for forming the scenery - we increase the number of our construction work set objects as well as delivering new PZB magnets and vegetation objects…
In short: come with us on a journey along the tracks around the railway spot of Seddin. The focus of this addon is of course on operating on the tracks to this outstanding railway yard that we want to show in manifold situations. Every scenario is telling its own chapter of the large repertoire of the railway system, decorated with a lot of local storytelling.
There are ten scenarios at all which offer hours of driving pleasure. Two versions of each scenario were created - one especially for users of our PlusPacks.

Available downloads:

This page offers some of the scenarios I have written for Train Simulator. All scenarios are free downloads, but often require additional rolling stock downloads. Please see the PDF readme files that accompany each scenario for more information. And in any case, you can always use Mike Simpson's fantastic RW_Tools suite to subsitute rolling stock that you do not have (or want) with other cars or engines which you do own.

Please note: Many of these scenarios assets were developed in older versions of Train Simulator, including Railworks 3 (Train Sim 2012) or even older versions. They should also work in the latest version but there might be unexpected bugs or glitches or even that some scenarios do not work at all.

Tutorial on How to Swap Rolling Stock with RW_Tools

For those of you who do not want to run a scenario with all the rolling stock that I have added to the scenario, Mike Simpson's RW_Tools offers you a great and simple way of replacing any unwanted piece of equipment. That way, you can substitute any missing piece of payware equipment, move the scenario to a different time frame, run a Dash-9 instead of a GP9 ... the choice is all yours! Please see this PDF for a detailed how-to guide: Tutorial_RW-Tools_Swap.pdf
