‘Can anyone here drive a train???’ Answer this desperate call and rescue the people from zombies in this spooky Halloween pack for Train Simulator 2012! A wicked witch is turning the whole population into zombies, and almost everybody around you is falling under the spell. There’s only one thing for it – get the survivors onto a train and get them out of there, pronto! Trains vs. Zombies is a fun and spooky Halloween-themed scenario pack for Train Simulator 2012, with one or two surprises in store… With a zombie plague in full swing, you find yourself in Oxford amongst a group of survivors, one of whom is The Professor. He has the entry code to a secret bunker beneath Paddington Station, and will lead you all to safety as long as you can drive everybody there! Starting out from Oxford Station, unexpected happenings along the way mean you will be in for a bumpy ride – and a few train changes! You need to get away quickly, as the zombies are hard at work ripping up the tracks, though with a little Halloween magic, a few missing pieces of track won't stop you getting away… With zombies, witches, pumpkins and some pretty unusual train driving, Trains vs. Zombies is a spooky way to spend Halloween… dare you get into the cab? Includes: A Halloween-themed scenario pack, including zombie and witch figures and glowing pumpkins. 4 scenarios set on the OXford-Paddington route: Drive For Your Life Be Very, Very Quiet Off the Rails Enter the Labyrinth Available 27 October priced £2.99


Listen... I have mood swings, I've been throwing temper tantrums over TS 2012 performance, but this is very cool and made me laugh a bit (in a good way). Very nice way to lighten the mood.. Seems like it will be a innocent fun and amusing little addon. Trains don't alway have to be "serious business". I'll probably buy this for the amusement of it all. Halloween is one of my favorite times of year..

I am enough of a zombie fan that I play week-long games of Humans vs Zombies at my college, and even I think this current zombie thing has gone too far.

I'll still be buying this, though. I cannot resist the zombies.





BRRRAAAAAIIIIINNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSS

Trains and Zombies. Two of my favorite things I enjoy in computer games.
Not sure how well it will mix together, but, looks like it could be fun to try.
And yes, as Heath Ledger's Joker would say, "Why So Serious?".

I've always thought a train would actually be perfect for a zombie apocalypse scenario. Just pack a few boxcars full of supplies and drive out to a remote area. If the zombies still find you, it doesn't matter how many there are, you can still just run them over as long as you're moving fast enough that they can't grab on. Modern trains are so fuel-efficient that if you keep your train pretty short it'll take you a while to run out of gas, and when you do start to run low you can just find another abandoned train and swap locomotives, although ideally you'd have a second engine to begin with that you'd leave shut down until you needed it. Find a passenger car or two to live in, and you're pretty much set. The main concern I can think of is that you'd want to have at least two engineers so you can drive in shifts, and qualified train crew aren't exactly the most common people around.

Yes, I have indeed put far too much thought into zombie planning.
