You can browse our online store without registering, however, to make a purchase, you'll have to register with the store. This is separate from your forum registration (if you have one), but you can use the same info if you like.

All payware content requires at least TRS2004, preferably with Service Pack IV applied. Most items will work in TRS2006, however only items which state TRS2006 compatible are guaranteed to work without any error messages from TRS2006's CMP. Other items will usually work fine if you ignore CMP's "error" messages.

If you purchase an item from the online store, you'll receive an email with a download link immediately after your payment has cleared. For those signing up for a Gold Member Subscription, upon payment, you'll immediately have access to the Gold Member areas of our forums, where you'll be able to download all "Member's Only" content. If you have any problems with the process, click the "Contact Us" button to send us an email about it. We'll respond to all inquiries as quickly as possible, but we don't maintain a staff 24/7, so in rare cases it might take from a few hours to a few days to get a response.

Currently Available Payware Forum - Requires forum log-in/registration.

Over the next few months, we'll be offering several packages of premium content (otherwise known as "payware"). Generally, each "pack" of content will run about $10, with a 20% discount to ProTrainz Gold members. Items currently in the development pipeline are Canada's GO Trains, The Northern Pacific's North Coast Limited, and an expanded RDC Pack with full working cab.

In addition to these, certain "bonus" items will be made available, at no extra cost, to ProTrainz Gold members. These items will not immediately be available to the general public (if at all). At the moment, "bonus" items planned for release include NYS&W and B&M RDC's, and the postwar Broadway Limited consist.
