I'm interested to find out if there is any train simulators for Mac?

I've got a MacBook Pro.
I think you're out of luck, all of the major commercial sims are made for PC only. If you find some form of Windows emulator you may get older versions of BVE to work though, seem to recall my brother doing this.

Thank you for your response. I was kind of expecting a answer like that. :(

What is BVE? Is it like Microsoft Train Simulator?

BVE is an in-cab only view railsim designed for free by a Japanese programmer. It is very realistic though, containing rail can't, gradients, variance for roughness of junctions etc and suspension movement.

Despite all the advances made in Railworks, Trainz et al, I still find it the most realistic and satisfying to drive.

All of the routes and trains are free too, whereas Railworks requires similar money to a model railway.

Nothing for Mac :( So welcome to the club! I did ask Rail Simulator if they would ever make Railworks for the Mac and the response was a simple no due to the fact Railworks uses Microsoft stuff.

Open BVE will work on Mac if you follow the instructions on the website although I could never get it to work myself.
