Eisenbahn X
About
Eisenbahn X is more than just a Railroad Simulation. With Eisenbahn X you can build your own railroad world in a dimension, which is almost impossible to realise in real model railroad: wide layouts with driveways and vehicles of all kinds – with cars and buses from all railroad eras. Whether you are a fan of steam trains or high speed railways, the limitations that exist when creating a model railway do not apply to the world of virtual railways.
With Eisenbahn X you can build complex railway worlds on your PC or notebook and it is possible to control trains as a train driver. Of course you can control the entire rail traffic with a sophisticated signal system. Build train consists from steam, diesel and electric locomotives, passenger and freight cars. Eisenbahn X offers a beautifully designed user-friendly interface, that puts many functions intuitively in scene. The new 2D plan transforms the layout top view in an artful yet clear drawing like the experienced model railroaders know it from trade magazines.
With virtual Eisenbahn X, your trains will pass through landscapes whose appearance changes according to the time of day and local weather conditions, thus providing an extraordinarily life-like atmosphere. Additionally, there are animated figures and animals enlivening the scene. Besides cows and horses, fishes and birds, you have animated travellers and passersby.
Eisenbahn X has a long history. The prototype of this software, EEP – Eisenbahn.exe, was created by Software Underground in 1998 and then continuously developed and enhanced each year. Since version EEP 4, the Publisher TREND and Soft Pro have been responsible for the development. In 2012, the founders of the program were responsible for the most extensive revision of the software since version EEP 3. After a year of hard work, they succeeded in creating a new version with Railroad X, which includes important features like a new grapical user interface, animated figures and interactive cabs.Features of Eisenbahn X

My Conclusion: The Program has far exceeded my Expectations-finally a sensible Implementation of a Model railway for the Computer. I have been looking for a "Spare Shop" for my Hobby for a Long time and I definitely found it. It is not an economic or train driver simulation in the Form of a Game with Tasks or Scenarios, but rather a plausible implementation of Model railway Construction-but with far more Possibilities than real Model railway Construction offers! It takes a certain Amount of Training time and Patience (be sure to read the Manual) to build a fully functioning record, but the Results are quite impressive.

This is about virtual model railway construction. On se, the Complexity of this Software doesn't bother me-I just lack a lot of Comfort Features and the Operation itself isn't intuitive. I have no Problem tinkering with a Traffic Field Circuit for hours-but I have no Desire to do so when Laying a few Meters road.
I had the Feeling that the complete Software just stopped in time. The Graphics are underground-this is much better. Even with the current Title EEP 14. There you have to take a look at the Hardware Requirements-this is just underground for this Graphic. The Operation and the Camera have not been modernised either. You have to completely surrender to the Simulator and need quite a long Training Time. Then I prefer to invest this Time in my real Model railway.
Pros: The Functionality Of the Model railway Is almost infinite. Additional Items can be purchased and integrated free of charge or for Real Money.

In Itself, it's the same as the earlier EEP version with a few new Features, Models and or a new Interface. However, since I only own EEP 5 and this Game was in the "Sale" I got it and have to say that it is well worth it for €10. The Only problem is that I seem to be too uncreative to put something good on the Turn but that will certainly be over Time. So if you have 10€ left and very good Ideas for a Plant I recommend this Game. What bothers me a lot is that you can buy some Tools or Models for it. Before I come to a Fanboy with "You don't have to buy it," I would like to say that I find this Action to create your own Models for which you need an extra program, that you have to buy yourself quite lame and money-horny from Trend. This is also something you can see again that new versions are released at very very regular Intervals, which hardly offer anything new.
In addition, under EEP 5 I was able to put together my own Properties, were these already too many Freedoms for the User?!
