Diesel Railcar Simulator is a train driving simulator modelling the passenger diesel multiple units, or “railcars”, and other trains of the 1960s British railways. The goal is to drive a train from A to B with safety, comfort and timekeeping in mind. You can choose from hundreds of Inter-City, semifast, stopping, freight, rescue and empty coaching stock train services. The gameplay is mostly sandbox: there’s no need to earn points or money to unlock any of the runs. Your driving style and timekeeping are evaluated upon completing a run. Try the same run again to reach a higher score by braking more accurately or driving more economically. You’ll still need to prepare for suprises as traffic conditions and delays may change from run to run.
- Physics are simulated in detail: individual components of the transmission are replicated to ensure realistic behaviour. The suspension of each vehicle is also modelled to make it bounce and sway over uneven trackwork
- Sounds are mostly authentic: many of the most important sounds used for the railcars are recordings of the real trains
- Computer-driven AI trains occasionally make human-like mistakes
- Graphics are good enough not to distract, but will still be improved in the future
