Für alle die es noch nicht mitbekommen haben, es gibt seit heute das Flying Scotsman Geschenk.
Und damit ihr auch wisst worum es geht, hier einmal alle Fakten.
RS.com und das NRM (National Railway Museum) haben zusammen eine kleine Railworksversion heraus gebracht die ein Szeanrio im Winter mit dem Flying Scotsman beinhaltet. Und das beste, es ist total kostenlos. Das ganze gibt es hier:
Der Download ist knappe 600 MB groß und enthält alle Optionen von RW2. Wer also mal eine Demoversion von RW2 haben wollte, hier ist sie. 
Die Strecke ist fiktiv und liegt in Nordwales an einem Stausee.
Also viel Spaß mit dem Flying Scotman im Schnee. 
ZitatAlles anzeigenWannabe train drivers who long to take to the controls of the world famous Flying Scotsman could have their dream come true this Christmas.
The National Railway Museum (NRM) has teamed up with RailSimulator.com to produce a unique virtual Flying Scotsman driving experience for home PCs, available from 20 December 2010 – and best of all, it’s completely FREE!
The iconic Flying Scotsman steam locomotive, currently undergoing extensive restoration in the NRM workshop, is the star of this unique free-to-download ultra realistic videogame in which players take control of the iconic locomotive and drive through a beautiful winter landscape.
Thanks to the support of the Heritage Lottery Fund, Tata Steel Europe, formerly Corus, amongst other organisations, and donors to the Steam Our Scotsman Appeal, Flying Scotsman is due to make a magnificent return in 2011. The Steam Our Scotsman Appeal is only £50,000 away from meeting its goal of £250,000, so any fans of No.4472 who are keen to support her return to steam should visit www.flyingscotsman.org.uk to donate.
The first time the public will be able to see Flying Scotsman on display in the National Railway Museum’s Great Hall will be 28-30 May 2011. Plans are yet to be finalised for this special celebratory event but visitors can expect a range of activities, workshops, talks and tours for the whole family to enjoy. More details will be made available at the official Flying Scotsman website www.flyingscotsman.org.uk in the coming months. Scotsman fans can also sign up to the National Railway Museum e-newsletter for the latest news on their favourite locomotive.

Notes to Editors:
• In 2004, children handed over their pocket money and pensioners took out their cheque books in a bid to ensure that Flying Scotsman was not sold abroad, and instead was saved for the Nation and kept in Britain. The appeal to keep No.4472 in Britain was supported by the entire Country, and a £2million bid by the National Railway Museum, generously supported by the National Heritage Memorial Fund (£1.8m) and members of the public, secured its fate. Flying Scotsman was saved for the Nation and brought home to the world’s largest railway museum, located adjacent to its old stamping ground, the East Coast main line.
• The restoration has been made possible with a £275,000 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, support from Tata Steel Europe, formerly Corus, and many other generous organisations.
