Lovely day out at the Great Harwood Transport Festival! Seen a lot of familiar faces, and great to meet some new ones!

Where are we going next I wonder 🤔

Preparations for the weekend ahead!

We’ll be at the Town & District Transport Trust’s Great Harwood Big Transport Weekend this Saturday and Sunday (31st August & 1st September) at the Great Harwood Show Ground!

Will we see you there?

Well ladies and gentlemen…

What can be said? Thank you!

A couple of days behind schedule but there’s nothing new there 😄

30,000 subscribers livestream? Hmm, wait and see!

Dear RailFans

Today is a very important day!
The long-awaited update has just arrived at the final station.

We would like to officially welcome Koleje Śląskie and Cargo Unit railway carriers, whose vehicles can be found in the game, on board SimRail.

We have done a lot of work in recent months, the most important new things include: EMU EN57 & EN71, graphics engine update, new livery and cabins for existing rolling stock, multiple EMU connections, new weather system, seasonal support, new signal boxes, new vegetation models, improved anti-aliasing and much more.

We highly recommend completing the EN57 tutorial before driving yourself to understand the vehicle's operating mechanisms.

Full list of changes below.
