My four year old son and I share a passion for trains which was probably all caused by living just a quarter of a mile across a field from the local station. From our cottage we can hear the trains coming and going. On a clear day with the wind in the right direction the alarm can be heard on the crossing. On very special occasions even real steam engines come through.
Guest 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. I'm making a couple of first here: One is my first video on YouTube, along with my first ever model I built for any game or simulator, namely 'Rule the Rail!' I would have a video promo since but. The Marbelup Models web site currently list 10 items of rolling stock. In addition, two brand new models which will be unveiled at the Perth Exhibition this weekend, and added to the web site next week. While these models are clearly not RTR, they require considerably less work to complete than a typical kit, albeit at greater cost. This is my layout using Rule The Rail by BrainBombers. It has more than 30 trains running simultaneously at any given time. Features include random sorting o.
This passion has inevitably led to an interest in model trains. My Dad built me a simple Hornby layout when I was a child and now that my son is old enough he is moving from simple Brio wooden trains and Tomy Motor Road & Rail into the world of Hornby with Thomas & Friends.

A while ago I picked up a second-hand copy of Hornby Virtual Railway on a charity stall. Although this kept us entertained for several months it is definately showing the signs of age. My son finds it fiddly to build new tracks and the 3D rendering engine is nearly a decade old.
After a while though I started to wonder about the inner-workings of CyoMR and started poking around the installation directory. A quick search on Google turned up Having Fun with RTR and this is where I found out that CyoMR is a re-branded version of Rule the Rail! by Brainbombers. It wasn't long before I'd downloaded the free trial. Then I had to have the expansion packs - all 11 even of them - which meant I paid for registration even though I had a full working copy of CyoMR. In fact my son and I like it so much and the USD $15.00 price is so reasonable I registered another copy for each of us.
But my lust for all things code-based and a desire to know how stuff works has driven me to the Dark Side of virtual model railwaying...

Then, on a recent trip to Woolworths, we found Create Your Own MODEL RAILWAY Deluxe (Simply Trains gave it 9/10) in the bargain software bin. My son nearly wet himself with excitement when he saw it action for the first time! I was going to upgrade to HVR2 but it doesn't stand a chance now.Rule The Rail Models Rtr Models Home Page 2017
