TrainPlayer News, July 2012 -- Announcing Version 5.1

This week -- while every telly on the planet is tuned to London -- is a great time to be introducing our new Verson 5.1 for the British Railway Enthusiast.   It comes with a generous set of U.K.-style layouts, cars, and scenery, with new features making them easy to find and use, plus a long list of fixes and enhancements.
