You're on the footplate of the King Arthur class 4-6-0, steaming through the Surrey countryside, fire roaring, soot in your hair...

Well, perhaps it's not quite that realistic, but very nearly.

This superb steam engine simulation will satisfy steam freaks everywhere, with its sharp and imaginative graphics, realistic sound, even down to the whistle, and exhaustive attention to detail.

Your task is to take the steam engine and passenger train from Victoria to Brighton, playing the roles of both driver and fireman. You have to learn the controls, cope with coal and water, keep an eye on the signals, and arrive at the stations on time. And it's far from easy.

The main menu gives you a number of options, including a demonstration run. You can choose the training run, or go for the stopping train with signalling, the heavy stopping train, the record-breaking run, the Southern Belle non-stop run, and so on.

For anyone who ever wanted to be a train driver when they grew up.
