I have tried both. I haven't been able to even get TRS2004 to work. On the other hand I have MSTS with hundreds of locomotives and cars, along with almost two dozen routes. I am happy with MSTS and it seems to be the biggest train sim out there, with some of the biggest communities I've seen.

There is no best, they each have atributes.Trainz has the feeling of a model layout.
MSTS is trying to be a simulator of the real thing.Unfortunately trains are not interchangable.

Hey Mike I know you were just making a joke, that I personally thought was funny, but unfortunately this is the kind of $hit stirring that starts wars on here...
FWIW, the Jehadists from both sides have no sense of humor and a post like this is usually guaranteed to bring them out in full field dress...
So let's not do it any more shall we?Chuck Schneider

No problem Chuck: it was the forum burp that locked me out which gave me an opportunity (temptation) of changing identity, which I didn't make too difficult to spot. Mike
