Trust me once he learns how to use it he'll love it.ĥ. I know when I first got the game and started using PaintShed, I loved it! So imagine how much your child will love being able to paint his own engines and cars. While you have said that he probably will not be doing any content creating, at the very least you can teach him PaintShed. This is good because kids don't want to have to wait for an error to get fixed, they want to play.Ĥ. TRS06 doesn't have nearly as many bugs and errors as TRS09. TRS06 has more built in routes and sessions than TRS04, and I know that if I were his age I'd want as many sessions as possible.ģ.

This is a crucial feature when dealing with young children.Ģ. TRS06 has 6 in-depth and easy to understand tutorials as stated above. These are the most kid-friendly versions in my opinion for several reasons:ġ. I would recommend investing in either TRS06 SP1 or Trainz Railwayz. To answer your question Dmahalko, I have never played TRS04, I have TRS06 as well as Trainz Railwayz (which has 06 built in), and I have never played TRS09. If all he's going to be doing is driving, who cares how stable CMP is? The kid wants to drive, so which version gives him the best driving experience and is stable? NOT which has the best CMP that doesn't crash. I know the feeling, as I was the same way when I was his age. People, DMahalko specifically said that his child will probably not be creating or editing content at all, as he just wants to drive. PaulI'm picking on paulzmay here but several members have metioned how the CMP is more stable than in this version than in that version, and how content creation crashes happen on this version and not that version. TRS06 has at least 2 American routes included, and a good variety from elsewhere I suspect a six year old might not have acquired the same national preferences that many of us here have. TRS2006 has a lot more built-in routes and rolling stock than TRS04, and if you're not doing much downloading CMP isn't really an issue (it works fine for lots of people anyway if treated carefully).

Personally I'd recommend either TRS06 or the Trainz Railwayz package put out in the States (TRS06 + Trainz Classics 1+2). As you may have gathered, there's as many opinions as trainzers.
