Railway simulator prepared by Railwaves team in cooperation with Just Trains, a company known for releasing numerous Microsoft Train Simulator add-ons.

Train Driver allows you to experience the bygone era and romance of the small branch railway lines that used to be such a common sight around the UK. Being completely stand alone therefore requiring no host simulation to operate Train Driver recreates in high quality and detail the current day historic West Somerset Railway route, engines and rolling stock. From driving a commuter DMU (Diesel Multiple Unit), through hauling freight with the Hymek Diesel locomotive up to the excitement and skill of driving a Manor Class Steam engine, you will be enchanted by the countryside views in this classic Somerset setting. Owners of Trainz Railway simulator Passenger Edition can also employ Rail Driver to add the West Somerset Railway software to that simulation.
