Microsoft today announced their participation in the National Model Railroad Association's annual convention in St. Louis. Microsoft will run kiosks at the show where attendees can obtain a hands-on experience of driving the world's most famous trains, in the recently released Microsoft Train Simulator. In addition, Microsoft will show the simulator to young students through the NMRA Junior College Program. This program allows young enthusiasts (ages 6-15) to experience the hobby up close. Kids will have the opportunity to try out Microsoft Train Simulator. Drawings will also be held, with the winners getting boxed copies of the game. This year, the show will be held from July 13-15 at the TWA Dome in St. Louis. The Junior College Program takes place before the convention, July 9-11. Microsoft Train Simulator is available in stores now for an estimated retail price of $54.99.
