Chatham, UK-October 20, 2010-Railsimulator.com Ltd., the leading innovator of rail simulation and modeling tools, announced today that RailWorks 2 Train Simulator is available to download on Steam and will be in retail stores shortly. The most realistic rail simulator on the market, RailWorks 2 enables enthusiasts to expand their virtual railroads in any way they wish.

Features include:
· A complete railroad set up including 13 locomotives, an assortment of rolling stock, eight different routes, and a huge variety of scenery.
