I am a fan of model railroading. I am looking for a train sim that will allow a moderate mount of free style play. Like running a model rr, just running the trains and taking them to their destination. Anyone have some suggestions?

YOu can do that with MSTS! But probably, as I've been told, Auran Trainz is a much better match...Chuck Schneider

Yes Trainz. I have TRS2004 and it is virtual model railroading on a PC.

You need Jim Ward's Port Ogden and Northern. It's PERFECT for freestyle switching activities. I think it's original layout was even based on a model layout. Check through the library in the routes section (or search) for ponver8.zip. It's even a small download. You can't beat it for what you've got in mind.
