But definitely on the wrong track or do US railways drive on the right?

And it turns out that they do indeed drive on the right in the US and Canada. Driving up the down line.

interesting subject on left or right hand driving. Well worth reading below are two reasons why we drive on the left and the Americans on the right.

Train Sim World 2020 (my recommendation) is now £14.99 at Humble Bundle (which sells games/sims/apps for charity):
https://www.humblebundle.com/store/train-sim-world-2020
As it happens they also just created a "Humble Train Simulator Bundle", which is basically TS 2020 plus addons. You can pay as little as $1 for TS 2020! However, the basic idea is whatever you choose to pay above a threshold is donated to charity. Higher thresholds allow you to "unlock" more addons and more goes to charity.

I'm a big fan of this scheme and even though I'm happy with TSW it means I may now get TS as well.

An excellent idea/way to raise money for charity but unfortunately at the moment after buying a Logitech G29 Steering Wheel as compensation for the Oculus Headset, I'm now broke!!
Otherwise may have taken up on some of the offers.
If you do get TS I found the graphics very very poor against the TSW2020 but don't want to put you off by saying that, if you do however purchase it and find a way round the graphics to make it look good then I'm all ears as had uninstalled it.

I picked up TS on Instant Gaming as it was cheap and I only wanted something simple that could run on this laptop when I should be flight sim planning.
Since then they seem to be having more sales on Steam and Greenmangaming than DFS, so I have a couple more routes that I have not got round to trying.
Anyway as mentioned above you can now pick up the core game with a bundle of routes and trains from about 77p, depending on whether any of Dominic's muppet puppets have opened their gob and caused a run on the pound again.
If anyone wants the Riviera Line 50s, West Rhine Koln-Koblenz or Feather River routes for TS, I have them now as duplicate steam keys from the Humble Bundle sale.
