It was renamed under the name of Content Manager Plus (CMP) in TRS2006. The Content Manager (CM) module is a Windows program that allows management of the in-game database files. PaintShed is a simple program for aiding and easing the process of 'reskinning' traincars, altering their livery, by recoloring and adding new heraldry to Trainz locomotives and other rolling stock. Unless users purchase a First Class Ticket with real money, download speeds for the DLS (both in Content Manager and directly through File Transfer Protocol on the Trainz website) are throttled, which tends to be a point of contention in the Trainz community. The simulators are supported by a large library of freeware assets which can be downloaded from the N3V servers, referred to as Download Station (DLS).

In CAB (cabin) mode the train physics are more sophisticated than in DCC mode adding real-life considerations such as wheel slip on the rails how the weight of the consist slows acceleration and deceleration. The user then operates the trains in Driver, either in free play, or according to a scenario called a Driver Session (previously called Scenarios in the early versions of Trainz, Ultimate Trainz Collection, and TRS2004) which can range in difficulty from beginner to expert. In the route editor, Surveyor, the user can shape the landscape, paint with ground textures, lay tracks, and place buildings and roads.

The games emphasize themselves on inclusion of content, and all subsequent games following Trainz Community Edition would allow users to install 3rd-party rolling stock, scenery, routes, and other content under the.

The simulators consist of route and session editors called Surveyor, and the Driver module, that loads a route and lets the player operate and watch the trains run, either in 'DCC' mode, which simulates a bare-bones Digital Command Control (DCC) system for the simple stop-and-go of a basic model railway, or 'CAB' mode, which simulates real-world physics and adds working cab controls. The Australian studio Auran (since 2007 N3V Games) released the first game in 2001.
