There is one thing that makes Rails Unlimited stand out from the rest: derailments. This game has a heavier focus on derailing your train, with dedicated sounds and effects and your train not glitching through the floor when falling over (except for old yard). Although it is very difficult to derail your train because you have to either go through a very tight curve at a very high speed or switch a junction while your train is on it.

[@PatronRBLX]

Very cool!

[@Coasterteam]

Hey, thanks for playing RU! We definitely do need to focus a lot on the points you've noted. We're working on more replayability and other general improvements.

[@kingkoopa64]

Yo, coaster was up. It's me mr noob, glad your game is getting recognition

[@PatronRBLX]

Sounds good!

[@Railman1225]

That would be amazing! I remember the currency system, as well as the customization of consists, being teased a good while ago, yet both of them have yet to even be mentioned again. I would absolutely _love_ for both to be in the game, as they actually looked great!

[@RailwayEngineeringStudios]

Thanks for playing Rail Sim Universe! We have made a TON of new updates and changes since this was filmed, and have a very rapid update schedule. We would love to see your thoughts on the latest changes we have made. I would also like to address the 500 robux price, it's intended to be a limited time novelty purchase to help us fund development. Players receive several special trains (for free) with every route expansion we add in the future. The game will be 100% free to play when we complete it.

[@rohanjxr]

The reason I like Stepford and British Railway is because trains can not drive through each other. There’s a whole system that prevents trains from crashing into each other and users ending up on the same tracks driving through each other, and I hope other games adopt this system.

[@racemaniak2000]

I believe WCR also has such a system. The BR one is the best in my opinion though, because of the ghost feature. Makes it hard or even impossible to purposefully block the signals because you'll just get ghosted if you try.

[@Wellingborough_Trainspotter]

It's called signals

[@omegamezle]

I remember playing that Hyperloop game tons years ago... Bit of a throwback seeing that

[@tailslover43]

As a DJMM member, I can explain why the game is so broken. Since Roblox started to update their software, DJMM also tried to keep up. Unfortunately, they mostly put effort into new features instead of fixing the game to the new Roblox software which resulted in your part loss for example, or tracks could be missing which can make you derail and so I could go on and on. People where also mad at the management for promising things like the Metropolitan and Northern line, but they only added half-made lines which where only accessible with gamepass trains. And they where also mad at them for the state of the game, which resulted in the owner of the game robbing the group of its funds and flee. The game is now transforming into a brand new community, called All Change community. We are hoping that this time the direction won’t disappoint us.

Snow hills lines... I remember that people called it "The NEW SCR" cause it was realistic at the time and has custom train option, but is now forgotten cause of the physics and the just lack of updates :/

[@vincugames]

As someone who also plays train games beside flight sims on roblox, im very excited for this video

[@beaubby2377]

Omg thanks for putting BR in first place, it deserves it compared to SCR about a lot of things like physics, consistency of electric trains (with pantographes) and diesel trains and even the AI passengers features imo

[@OneTrackMinded]

The reason for Snow Hill Line's lack of updates is that it was discontinued years ago and now is unsupported entirely. The studio behind it however, Centro, are working on a very impressive looking tube game simulating the Victoria Line. It's probably the most innovative in years on the basis of UI, sounds, models, etc etc, so I do suggest you give it a try when it releases hopefully sometime in the remaining portion of the year.

I approve this list, but I personally miss ro-scale sandbox, where you can build your own railway, not play on a prebuilt map, and sure, it doesn't really fall into the train sim category, but in my opinion, it would deserve a honorable mention.

I agree, i miss SRI Terminal, Northeast Corridor Train Sim, Empire Corridor Train Sim and Southline District in this video

I didn’t expect for you to play or featured a Thomas game in this video, I thought Steam Age/Era was going to take the 18th spot. But anyways, This “Top 20 Roblox Train Simulators” video is pretty good, your opinion of the train sims in this top 20 is kinda similar to mine actually. Btw if you want a free Roblox Thomas game, I would highly recommend Blue Train With Friends or Sodor Online Jobs A Plenty (although as for today, December 3rd, 2023, the “Jobs A Plenty” part is replaced with “Snow Time To Lose”)

[@BlackSkyP]

Ro scale sandbox is a lot better than itty bitty railway and doesn't suffer from major gameplay mechanics behind gamepasses.. and its free :D Anyone who is interested in building your own railway should definitely try it out.

[@ghostfacegangstaloo]

For people who don't know about rail sim universe: its a game based in South Florida (west palm beach to Miami) and the commuter train tri-rail its getting updated over the months and seemed to release probably in 2025 what I saw and its worth the robux

Hey there! Well Train Sim (czech and Slovak game P13) doesnt feature four models. It is way more, but at the start you have four FREE trains, the rest needs to be bought by in-game credits or robux. Just for info :)

[@benukasrYT]

My favourite train simulator is Finnish railway. It's, as the title suggests, a Finnish train simulator. There is a mediocre variety of trains and LOTS of carriages. It's about as realistic as Train Sim where if you power up certain trains too quickly, they stall out and do not move.

[@PatronRBLX]

The few problems I had with the game (despite buying all but two gamepasses): - Performance - Scenery - The models are alright but again, very laggy.

@@ArCKonan The performance is probably more to do with the device you are using rather than the game itself. I run it quite smoothly since I have a very strong computer.

They have a realistic map that's true to life, between the cities of Philadelphia and New York City. I'm curious to know whether you simply didn't hear of this game, or decided to not include it in the list for other reasons. I actually live along a section of the map, and I can confirm it is very realistic and nearly looks the same as in real life. Every single building along the tracks are modelled just as they are in real life.

[@PatronRBLX]
