Hornby Virtual Railway is a video game and model planning environment released for Microsoft Windows in 2001.[1]
Gameplay
Players build a virtual model railway layout in realistic scenes, helping people to plan their real-life layout(s). Fixed track parts, rolling stock, scenery, building, tree and hills similar to a real life model railway. Users can also control the trains once the virtual railway is built and planned, leading to some people to call HVR a train simulator. Some advanced parts such as turntables are absent from the game, and all engines on the same track will all move at once, the same speed and direction, much like a real life DC model railway. Engines included in the first edition include the LNER Class A1/A3, the LNER Class A4, Smokey Joe and the Eurostar.

Hornby Track Master is a software tool to design Hornby Railways train tracks.
Gameplay
Hornby Track-Master is a birds eye 2D Planning tool. Unlike HVR, Hornby Track-Master allows for the development of a shopping list for every thing needed to build a track, but it has no 3D views. Users select pieces of track from lists and place them where they wish. Track-Master uses birds-eye view to work. Track, platforms, turntables etc. can be added. Once completed the software develops a printable shopping list.[note 1]
