I started writing Rail3D in 1999. Prior to writing Rail3D I had used various railway simulators, but none did quite what I wanted. While there were lots of good programs, various things were not satisfactory with them including:
-
Limitations on size of layout and/or number of trains that can be run.
-
Inadequate signalling model.
-
Not running properly under Windows.
-
Difficulty in creating layouts.
-
Difficulty in creating models.
So I set out to see what I could produce myself, the aims of the project were (and still are):
-
To simulate a whole railway system: multiple trains, multiple timetables, multiple tracks.
-
Unlimited (or at least sufficiently large limits) number of trains and size of layout.
-
Program that runs properly under Windows.
-
Realistic signalling implementation.
-
Easy track creation.
-
Easy model creation.
Since then Rail3D has developed to the present state: it is an ongoing project and new versions and updates are continually produced.
I believe Rail3D most of the aims above have been achieved and Rail3D is unique in its:
-
Ability to simulate a whole railway system with multiple trains operating automatically to different timetables.
-
Ease of layout creation.
-
Free availability!
