Description
Model Trains is the ultimate sandbox for crafting stunning, richly detailed miniature railway worlds. Powerful world-sculpting tools let you shape the landscape; a deep building system lets you lay extensive rail networks, span bridges and tunnels, and decorate every corner. Bring it to life with friendly automation, schedules, signals and switches, then capture and share your dioramas with a global creator community. Underneath the cozy surface sits an honest rail simulation of gauge, grade, clearance, braking, signalling and derailment physics, made legible through planning and diagnostic overlays.
