Locomotive Research-

Also ...we would like to thank everyone who has supported this website.

From the temporary page, (posted on December 6, 2003), to now, we have

received (and archived) hundreds of your supportive e-mails.

The Train Simulator franchise has connected us with some of the finest people across the globe, and we are fortunate to know you.

Now that MSTS 2 has officially been announced, and images of the game content are starting to stream out, we are pleased to see that the next level of realism has been invested in, and will be achieved, and also, that there is a real passion for railroading at Microsoft.

Over the last four years, we have gathered many hours of sound recordings and detailed locomotive data. In the coming months, we will be using these assets to upgrade past releases and create future add-on content for Microsoft Train Simulator®

Thank you for your praise, criticism, and for taking the time to share your knowledge, experience, and personal stories, all of which fuels our effort to make each model better than the last.
