Train Sim

Have you looked into train simulations? I know it is beyond the scope of this club, but we are in the transportation business after all. I ran across this forum for posting train sim images. Have a look at it and tell me what you think.

Here is the link ... <a href="forums.uktrainsim.com/viewforum.php?f=216" target="_blank">click here

Sometime, how about doing a flight to some city and then just catching the train for a short ride to a final destination. Then, post your story lines with some images. Is this a possibility?

Also, I read that there are people who make good money in the sim world like Second Life by making, buying and selling sim stuff. IBM is even getting into the scene. If you do not believe me, check out <a href="secondlife.com/" target="_blank">Second Life.

Now, I am not advocating that we do this, but it just goes to show you that there are possibilities. After all, people are getting online degrees and even making major purchases online. What else is possible?

Is it possible that we could also create a VA like St. Paul Airlines in Second Life and earn some lindens($)?

The rail simulator is called "Rail Simulator. To learn more about it, <a href="railsimulator.com/" target="_blank">click here.
