Rule the Rail is a game - simulator for model train fans where they can make their own layout and choose the trains to run accross that layout.
The user can plan the tracks situation, switches, gates, the whole layout, set buildings, industrial plants, lights, persons, cars, set the terrain characteristics, platforms, elevations, plants, reliefs, railway elements, etc.

The game comes with a demo layout that can be modified, add tracks, etc. or just use it for playing and fun. A very realistic sound generator gives a very cozy ambient to the set, making all the sounds for trains (track hits, engine sound, whistle, etc.).

Track controls for switching directions, determine train motion and direction, open and close gates, different train types, steam, diesel, control their velocity and forward and backward commands, control signals, etc.

The game has interesting options such as place a camera on a train (i.e. focus a virtual camera that will look as an helicopter following the train), switch the whole layout to night, so all the buildings will light their lights, etc.

Unless you have a super computer, don't waste your time or money. For those with a 64 bit system, the program will not run on a 64 bit system. Even though this is an old program and is getting very dated at this point, all but the smallest and most basic layouts exceed the requirements of the average home P.C.

Should you find your computer can't handle the program, and you decide to upgrade to a more powerful computer, your password will be invalid on the new computer. You can email the support team at brainbombers all you want, but they won't reply. You've wasted your money and you will have to buy a new password.
