Trainz on the Road Demonstrator

What do Demonstrators do?

In a nutshell the Demonstrators have fun showing Trainz to an interested audience of train enthusiasts that attend Model Railroad shows. It's great watching their reaction to Trainz and the possibilities the program offers.

So how does it work?

The way the Trainz on the Road program is organised, the Show Coordinator will have identified the show and advertises on the forum for Demonstrators (or you may be on the Show Coordinator's email list of likely Demonstrator candidates). The Demonstrator indicates their willingness to attend the show, whereupon they receive a show infokit explaining the best way to demonstrate and sell Trainz as well as complete details on the show. The Show Coordinator will organise a mutually acceptable timetable of Demonstrators. Depending on the size of the show, there may be 2-8 Demonstrators attending the show.

So what are the rewards for showing off Trainz?

Well of course there is the fun aspect. It really is rewarding showing the product to a receptive audience…you are guaranteed to have a good time just on that score.

However, we don't want you to go home empty handed, so we've built in some incentives. Do you like the look of our new Trainz T-shirts? Saving up for a new video card to run Trainz at 1600 x 1200?

Well what are you waiting for? Get the full details on being a demonstrator now and check out the upcoming shows…
