pgm icon TrainPlayer Software brings model railroading out of the basement and onto your screen!

If you design, build, or operate a model railroad -- or you ever thought about doing so -- or you just like to run trains! -- then you're in the right place.  TrainPlayer offers hundreds of great layouts you can run, and simple but precise tools you can use to design and build your own.  Running trains couldn't be easier -- our software is fully granddad-approved, designed for people who like trains more than computers.

What's New

Sept 09 -- Just released! Version 3.3 with Scenery Toolkit

Add life to your track plan!  Give it a full scenic treatment without spilling a drop of plaster on the floor.  Scenery Toolkit provides the armchair model railroader a complete catalog of objects to be dragged onto the layout -- houses, farms, factories, railroad structures, trees, water, roads, automobiles -- plus a great set of tools for drawing any shape or pattern.  See Scenery for details.



The beta testers had a ball with Scenery Toolkit.  Above is a picture of what one produced long before the manual was written and the bugs worked out.

Scenery Toolkit is included with TrackLayer 3.3, one of the offerings in our new simplified product line.  Upgrading to 3.3 is free, but there is a charge for adding Scenery Toolkit.  For details, see How to Upgrade to 3.3

This version is for Windows only.  Mac users, please see note here.

For more about the new version, see the 3.3 Page.
