PC-Rail Basingstoke is an outstanding simulation game that perfectly recreates the railway layout and signalling of Basingstoke from 1945 to 1966. This period simulation game adds an exciting new dimension by placing the player in the role of Shedmaster, responsible for locomotive shed management—a feature not to be underestimated.

The latest version, 5.1, developed by John D. Dennis 2011, brings a realistic experience where all trains are steam hauled, as none of the lines were electrified during this timeframe. The ability to manage locos in the correct departure order is unique and adds further strategic depth. To get started, users can easily download the free setup file named pcrail2.exe.

This program fits into the Games category and falls under the Simulation subcategory, making it an ideal pick for those passionate about train simulations. PC-Rail Basingstoke supports a wide range of operating systems, from Windows XP to Windows 11, ensuring broad compatibility for users.

An additional advantage is the comprehensive 24-hour timetable, complete with locomotive details, providing an immersive and detailed operational environment. This feature alone makes the game a standout choice for railway enthusiasts and simulation gamers alike.

Pros:

  1. Authentic replication of Basingstoke's railway layout between 1945-1966.
  2. Unique Shedmaster role adds strategic gameplay.
  3. Extensive 24-hour timetable and motive power details.
  4. Broad OS support: compatible with Windows XP, 7, 8, 10, and 11.
