Welcome to Railsimroutes.net,
the homepage of Anthony Bowden, where realistic, detailed, immersive and graphically rich add-ons are being developed
for openBVE, a licence free,
open source, free-of-charge train driving simulator, as well as
"openBVE 2", of which I am a co-developer.
Please use the navigators above or below to browse the site. You can read my
blog for the latest news and updates, both regarding what's happening here
at Railsimroutes.net, and what's happening
in the world of openBVE. You can download routes, find help and other information
via the Projects page, view a selection of screenshots
on the Gallery page, and find plenty of useful or interesting
sites to visit on the Links page.
▪ Active Projects
You can follow the progress of two openBVE route projects
currently being
developed -
Birmingham Cross-City South v2.0, running from Redditch to Birmingham's
busy New Street station, and the
WCML Watford Junction to Rugby route. Both projects will
make full use of the various features and capabilities provided by openBVE. You can visit the links below for
more information, help with openBVE, miscellaneous downloads, to read about the history of
Railsimroutes.net, and to find out more about "
openBVE 2",
