Ah right. I've found the tutorials now, they're not exactly obvious.

The map is important and acts as if you had access to point controls from the tower. It also shows you how the points are set and you re-adjust them accordingly. Doesn't seem as bad now. Plus I've realised what happened with the alarm. I'm supposed to respond to the alarm so it knows I'm aware of danger. If you don't do that within a set time it applies the emergency brakes. Again it would have been useful to have been told that but maybe it's because I'm trying to run before I can walk,

Just like the real thing then

Train driving is serious business! This is not a game, it is a Simulator

Well if it's trying to be like the real thing then perhaps it could invent a reason to hold me at a red light? Because when I passed it there was none to be seen!

The sounds are good in those clips. Trains and birdsong are the two sound types that attract the most dedicated of amateur sound recordists. Argo Records in the 1960s used to issue endless train recording LPs (best title: 'Trains in trouble').

Is that a Deltic at the start?

But has he crashed yet?

Funnily enough, flight simulator fan boys get a bit uppity if anyone refers to it as a game also.
