Today, I found a new train simulator (freeware), BVE. The unique thing about it was the person who created it was a graduate student from Japan. It's almost as well designed as Microsoft's Train Simulator. You can download new trains and routes from all around the world for around 10 MB each. I prefer Hong Kong's West Rail with the Sp1900 train which you can get here. Another good feature is BVE only requires a small fraction of memory, less than 100 MB (BVE+Framework 2.0+2 Train Routes). The only thing bad about it is the hassle of downloading it, they tell you to download WinZip, which you don't need.
IMPORTANT STEPS TO AVOID HASSLE:
- BVE (Download Version 2-More user friendly)
- Go to BVE-routes.com or search on Google to download a train route
- Download the ZIP file and unzip it.
- Unzip the files to C:\Program Files\BVE
- Play and enjoy the game!
- Still Can't Play? Email me (email address on sidebar)

Good posts, especially like the one about this one about the train simulator. My only problem was with navigation: the 'Return to Main Page' button popped up a dialog asking if I wish to redirect or not??? If you'd like to link exchange mail me at {jan.varho+lr3} at {gmail.com}. Without {}
