Amazon.com Review:
Forget your dad's old electric train set, Lionel TrainTown is here. You'll have all the fun of workin' on the railroad without taking up the whole living room floor.
Going to work in TrainTown means learning to fuel and drive locomotives, switch tracks, couple freight cars, and even clear a line of wandering reindeer with the click of the mouse. To start, players learn to operate the trains quickly and efficiently via a set of narrated tutorials. Apprentice engineers then can click on specific job assignments, like taking a load of hamburgers to hungry factory workers or sorting cars in the freight yard. As you become more adept at manipulating the trains, the jobs get wilder. You may end up delivering materials to build a replica of the Eiffel Tower in the midst of the Arctic. Each job is timed, so you can repeat the task to improve your record or challenge others to beat it.
TrainTown's striking 3-D graphics and realistic sound effects make this CD-ROM a pleasure to play, although the maps that are needed to complete many jobs are a bit hard to read. Children under 8 may not have the patience to complete even the easiest job assignments but will still enjoy the fun of creating their own track layouts and racing the trains through tunnels and over bridges.
With over 70 jobs at varying levels of difficulty, TrainTown presents challenges for all ages and is one product that will last any train-loving family a long, long time. (Ages 6 and older) --Sharon Griggins

We have two "special" grandsons. One has Asberger's Syndrone and the other is Autistic. One of the things that both of these boys love is trains. This game will probably have to be replaced at some point because they play is so much when they are here. We are so fortunate that there are special ed programs that are helping these kids so much. They are great guys and we love them to pieces. This is an excellent source of pleasure for them. Also train videos and we take them to model railroad museums and on as many train rides as we can. We are really lucky to have these boys. And they are so fortunate for what is out there for them. Trains being a BIG thing.
