The Australian studio (since 2007 ) released the first game in 2001. The simulators consist of route and session editors called Surveyor, and the Driver module, that loads a route and lets the player operate and watch the trains run, either in 'DCC' mode, which simulates a bare-bones (DCC) system for the simple stop-and-go of a basic model railway, or 'CAB' mode, which simulates real-world physics and adds working cab controls.

In the route editor, Surveyor, the user can shape the landscape, paint with ground textures, lay tracks, and place buildings and roads.
The user then operates the trains in Driver, either in free play, or according to a scenario called a Driver Session which can range in difficulty from beginner to expert. In CAB (cabin) mode the train physics are more sophisticated than in DCC mode; adding real-life considerations such as wheel slip on the rails; how the weight of the consist slows acceleration and deceleration. Any train can be given directions to be driven by the computer.

PaintShed is a simple program for aiding and easing the process of 'reskinning' traincars, altering their livery, by recoloring and adding new heraldry to Trainz locomotives and other rolling stock.

The Content Manager (CM) module is a Windows program that allows management of the in-game data base files. Games [ ] Trainz [ ] Trainz Community Edition was released in December 2001. 1 (April), 2 (June) and 3 (November) were each released in 2002, these progressively updated the Community Edition, Trainz 1.0 to versions 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 successively. Two retail builds (retail versions releases) existed; the English/USA version is commonly known as Trainz 1.0. (Box, which included as an accessory is shown at right in lower left corner.) Trainz Retail Edition was released in June 2002 aimed at the United States and other North American markets. 3 was released in November 2002, this updated both the Community and Retail Editions to version 1.3.
Thus all USA versions are commonly known as Trainz 1.3. 
The Ultimate Trainz Collection, or UTC, was released on 26 November 2002 in North American as a 3-CD set including extra rolling stock, and a CD-ROM with TrainzScript-based scenarios and route map content based on Trainz 1.3 tech. This was the first edition to include the formerly separately retailed PaintShed program and support, as well as the first incorporating developed content as part of the release, some of which became Trainz staple content in TRS2004 et al. Through current releases. Trainz Railroad Simulator 2004 [ ] Trainz Railroad Simulator 2004 (known as Trainz Railway Simulator 2004 in the United Kingdom), or TRS2004, was released in September 2003. Trainz Railroad Simulator 2004 incorporated a load of technical changes and these required many that were released as the four released through 2004 and 2005. Trainz Railroad Simulator 2004 was the first version of Trainz to include interactive industries and loadable rolling stock capabilities, which allowed the player to deliver various resources (such as coal, wood, and steel) and passengers to various industries and stations across the playable area.
It has an iconic status in the Trainz community as once the bugs were worked out of it, its feature improvements have been the look-see-and-feel of all the Trainz releases since regardless of how things are reskinned. There were many industries included and much of the bundled rolling stock was updated to include this new dynamic loading and unloading animated capability with a corresponding load-state dynamic driving physics change in the handling of a consist. It also was the first Rail Simulator to include and to emulate 'wooden toy train' snap together modeled content—all of which was later available in Trainz 2006 and up. Webasto tajmer instrukciya. These 'toylike' animated eventually led to My First Trainz with its simple child-friendly simulator game interface.
