The Holiday Express – Runaway Elf is a delightful, miniature model railway add-on for the Train Sim World series (compatible with TSW 3, 4, 5, and 6), offering a light-hearted change of pace from traditional train simulators.
In this festive DLC, players operate a model train set up within a charmingly detailed 1980s-themed living room on Christmas Eve. The primary goal is to clean up the mess left by a mischievous elf: players must drive a simplified F7A and F7B locomotive (in a “Richie Rails” livery) around the unique, sprawling “track layout” to deliver scattered presents and toys back under the Christmas tree.
Designed as a casual experience for all ages, the add-on emphasizes fun exploration over strict simulation rules. Key features include:
- Charming Environment: A detailed living room map featuring a retro TV, fireplace, sofa, and Christmas decorations.
- Festive Scenarios: Seven unique scenarios are included, alongside full compatibility with the Scenario Planner, allowing players to incorporate other miniature trains they own.
- Bonus Exploration: The ability to walk around the room on foot and even unlock a drivable toy 4×4 vehicle.
The DLC is typically priced around $9.99 USD and is available across multiple platforms, including Steam for PC, the Epic Games Store for PC, the PlayStation Store for PS4 and PS5, and the Xbox Store for Xbox consoles.
