The ICE 1 (pictured) is a new train to Train Sim World and one requested a lot over the years by players both in Germany and beyond. The ICE 3 also features, as it did in Train Sim World 2. Training Center is a brand-new feature to Train Sim World and allows players the freedom to operate a variety of locomotives on the same test track. Pictured are units from the UK, US and Germany alongside one another.

Medway. The Class 375/9 allows operation of local services as well as the older Class 465, forming a trio of EMUs to take control of, whilst the Class 66 brings players a freight element to what is otherwise a passenger-heavy route.

Enthusiasts and railfans will enjoy the introduction of California’s Cajon Pass, a popular photography and webcam spot, to Train Sim World 3 and BNSF’s ES44C4 locomotives. These 4400hp units, part of General Electric’s Evolution Series, provide enough power to haul some of the USA’s longest trains up challenging gradients and work alongside the ubiquitous SD40-2.

Train Sim World’s longest ever route allows players to travel between Kassel and Würzburg at speeds of 280 kph behind the controls of Germany’s renowned ICE 1 and ICE 3 high-speed passenger trains. DB’s BR 185 can also be operated on the route, which features epic bridges and tunnels over a distance of 186 kilometres.

A fourth route of sorts, comes in the form of the new Training Center feature, inspired by the real-world WegbergWildenrath Test and Validation Centre in Germany but dressed with fictional scenery and surroundings. New players have the freedom to practise their driving skills here, with tutorials available, whilst experienced players can enjoy using a variety of rolling stock all on the same track.

In addition to these new and improved routes, a vast back catalogue from the previous title Train Sim World 2 will be compatible for players who purchased that content. This includes the massively popular Spirit of Steam add-on that brought Jubilee Class and 8F steam traction to Train Sim World for the first time earlier this year. Spirit of Steam is also available as part of the Train Sim World 3 ‘Deluxe Edition’ and has been updated for this latest release.

Pennsylvania’s Horseshoe Curve, the Tees Valley Line and the West Somerset Railway are just some of the 50 add-ons that will be available to bring over (if previously purchased) from Train Sim World 2 as are additional locomotives from the heritage scene (such as the Class 20, Class 33 and Class 52) and today’s traction (such as the Class 484, Caltrain MP36PH-3C and CSX C40-8W).

Train Sim World 3 is the next statement of intent from a company who, in addition to creating a new and exciting arm of the rail hobby to compliment more traditional disciplines, also makes use of the expertise within the industry to bring more of the railways into people’s living rooms.

More information about Train Sim World 3 can be found at www.trainsimworld.com or on their social media channels. It was released on 6th September and is available for PlayStation and Xbox as well as PC through Steam and Epic Games Store. Train Sim World 3: Deluxe Edition contains the three core routes, Training Center and Spirit of Steam. Regional starter packs containing one route plus the Training Center are also available.

Routes and locomotives from Train Sim World 2, whilst compatible with Train Sim World 3, will not include all of its new features.
