graphics older than the consept of the train, but the route editor tool is very nice (crashes quite often though), as you could build your own routes, and repair the broken DLC routes you have gone to buy.

Even after all these years, it is still a sim that keeps delivering. Yes it has limitations but it is still a fantastic sim.

ХУДШИЙ ЖД СИМУЛЯТОР!!! Ни в коем случае не покупать за фул прайс, только если по скидке. Графика -дно, уровень 2007 года, куча багов и лагов - просто запустить маршрут уже задача. Игра унылая и скучная, никаких интересных механик. Не тратьте своё время на это недоразумения - благо на рынке есть множество куда более интересных и увлекательных проектов!

Игра не плохая, можно было залипнуть на пару тройку часов. Но в последнее время, ни один сценарий не запускается, зависает, чёрный экран и всё!!! Только через диспетчер задач выходить. При повторном запуске, тоже самое! Только потому что перестала запускаться - не рекомендую!

würde so gerne einige der gekauften strecken fahren aber geht nicht weil er oft keine SIFA oder PZB betätigung erkennt obwohl ich sie drücke. und wenn ich spiel modus EINFACH fahre komme ich nicht von der stelle egal was ich probiere!!!!

'Ain que não sei o que tem 10 mil Reais de DLC' ninguém tá te obrigando a pagar 10 mil em DLC, com 2 mil já fica jogável.

As rotas são em escala 1/1, dá para viajar na maionese gostoso enquanto viaja escutando o som da locomotiva, ouvindo outlaw country e rock melódico.

Quanto as locomotivas a maioria são ruins de simulação, mas específicas a ponto de ser interessante coleciona-las, é aí que o peão se perde e despeja o dinheiro da pensão no simulador.

Gameplay 10/10 com a proposta do jogo, em 15 minutos você percebe que a profissão de maquinista de trem só não foi automatizada pela questão jurídica que diz que alguém tem que receber a culpa pelo descarrilhamento, e todos sabem que o elo mais fraco da corrente é o que arrebenta.

Em um mundo onde Iracing e MSFS existem, o que te tornaria tão esquisito gastando dinheiro com um simulador só por que ele é de trens e não de algo mainstream?

Compra logo.

The much larger selection of Routes, Traction and ease of entering the game I find so much superior to TSW3 and later is a joy. Albeit the realism is pretty good, but not without errors. I would prefer this game to TSW3 + which is far too expensive. This game offers so much more variety and iconic locomotives, which unfortunately TSW does not.

TCDD BİR BABADIR BİZİM İÇİN. TRTR

Mar 4, 2026·2205h·Verified

Steam User 7536STEAMRecommended

TSC is an old train sim now, but it's still fun. I am enjoying it so far. The reason I decided to try it is because there is a lot of content available for it. I waited for a big sale and stocked up on a bunch of DLC's.

I mostly like driving American freight trains, and for TSC, there is plenty of DLC freight trains and routes to choose from.

Overall, I have no big complaints. The graphics are dated, but they're good enough to get by with. One thing to keep in mind is that TSC is old, and runs on DX9. This means that the sim's performance is not so great, so don't expect to get high frame rates.

I notice from external views, I seem to get higher frame rates, but in the cab view, it drops down to about 30 fps. It is still smooth enough at that frame rate though and so far I've not experienced any stuttering or anything like that.

Yes, it's old as I said, but the large amount of available content still makes buying TSC worth it.

Bit of an old game, train sim world if you are looking for superior graphics would be a better choice.

However, still many scenarios, operations and the general realism has not many games to contend with, it is a very precise game.

If I were to buy it nowadays I'd buy trainsimworld, but you miss out on the massive mod community & community made DLCs that are not avaliable anywhere else. Sure, other train simulators have community modifications, but none are as extensive or as realistic as Train Simulator Classic.

This game focuses less on the beauty of train sim world and moreso operations, which I enjoy.

In short:
Realism: Good
Graphics: Not bad -> could find better
Mod Community: Excellent
Operations: Great
Should I buy? Only if you like operations and don't mind graphics too much

I think trains might just be the coolest vehicle ever. And what's not to love? it's a giant multi-carriage vehicle that moves on a guided road, making the sickest of noises and having train horns that each have their own unique tone to them, like they're just so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cool. Like you're telling me this thing can carry upwards of 1000 passengers to stations across a city/country across miles of track, passing through and catching scenery in new, different places outside where you live? That's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome. And the way the trains accelerate or decelerate at a station or the noises on some electric trains when they drive along the train just sounds so cool for genuinely no reason. And don't even get me started on locomotives or diesel trains as a whole, because ♥♥♥♥ me they are just filled to the brim with rich history and are just cool as ♥♥♥♥ to look at, but what really gets me is how they function. They start out so slow they're barely passing 1kph but gradually increase to massive speeds, along with the parts moving and functioning as the train moves is just so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cool, and in my opinion makes trains probably one of the best things humans have engineered and the best form of transport just because of their functionality and how cool they really are.

Best Train Game On Steam. Amazing, I would not buy TSW (Train Sim World) Ever Again.
If you are into UK Routes and Locos, I Would recommend AP (Armstrong Powerhouse)'s Class 50 Pack, And some other of their products.
Warning, Check descriptions of routes you buy from steam, as some are not as good as others.

Train Simulator Classic Review
I absolutely love this game and I play it every single day.
We even stream it regularly on our channel, Popcorn Simulation Gaming. yt and twitch
The gameplay is fantastic, but there are some serious downsides that need to be addressed.
The main issues are missing speed boards and broken DLC that has been left unfixed for a long time.
We buy these games in good faith, and the developers are selling them in good faith.
Because of that, fixing these broken items should be a top priority for them.

Le jeu de base est globalement et techniquement dépassé. Mais en 2026, la "petite" communauté de passionnés et les développeurs tiers ont réussi à le transformer et le booster d'une manière assez spectaculaire (graphismes, sons réels, FPS).

Attention, cela nécessitera souvent de "mettre les mains dans le cambouis", avoir une configuration récente (utiliser l'IA des nouvelles cartes graphiques), investir beaucoup de temps et d'argent (achetez les DLC pendant les soldes), mais un passionné verra ses efforts récompensés et pourra profiter d'un jeu somptueux.

Pour la communauté FR, rendez-vous sur les forum railsim.fr et rwcentral.com, qui sont des mines de partages et d'informations.

A real joy to play. Will need to do more homework on how many of the Trains work and perform as this is a very detailed Sim, Even though this version is a bit old it still has wonderful eye candy scenery if you buy the right Add On. Euro Truck Simulator keeps updating and improving over the years and I hope this does the same as there is a lot of places to go and explore.
