iRunTrains for iPad is a 3D Train Simulator for All

Peoria, IL, August 20, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Onomaly Software today is pleased to announce the release of iRunTrains 1.4.1, a 3D, hobby train simulator for the iPad. With this train set on iOS, you can even take a virtual ride on steam trains. The scenery backdrop includes a slowly moving sky overhead and shimmering waves along the shore. Fun to play and pleasant to just watch, this app is fun for all ages. An iPhone version of iRunTrains is also available on the App Store.

Control the trains. Speed them up. Slow them down. Put them in reverse. Activate track turn switches. It's 3D, so watch the trains from any angle. Pinch to zoom in or out. Drag to angle the landscape for a better view. Select the track layout, terrain colors and textures. iRunTrains is like having a train set in your pocket.

One iTunes iRunTrains user declares, "If you like model trains, you'll love this." Another declares, "It's got plenty of well-thought-out features, endless views and options."
