Editing Train simulator (section)

== Types of train simulators ==
There are various types of train driving simulators that are adapted to varying training needs and can be combined to meet operators' training needs in the most efficient way.

=== Full-cabin simulators ===
Similarly to flight simulators, train simulators can be a replica of a full driving cabin, on a one-to-one scale. This type of simulator is opted for when a train operator needs an immersive training tool for particularly effective training sessions.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://simulation.transurb.com/simulators/simulators-range/full-cab-simulator |title=Full-Cab Simulator - Transurb Simulation |access-date=2022-05-24 |archive-date=2022-05-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220524064145/https://simulation.transurb.com/simulators/simulators-range/full-cab-simulator |url-status=dead }}</ref>

=== Intermediate, more compact simulators ===
Certain simulators can uphold a certain level of immersion while optimising the space of a training room. When a certain balance between immersion and scalability is needed, this type of simulator is chosen by instructors.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://simulation.transurb.com/simulators/simulators-range/compact-simulator |title=Compact Simulator - Transurb Simulation |access-date=2022-05-24 |archive-date=2022-05-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220522033846/https://simulation.transurb.com/simulators/simulators-range/compact-simulator |url-status=dead }}</ref>

=== Portable simulators ===
When a train operator has various training centres, it is sometimes easier and more logical to invest in smaller simulators that can be transported from one centre to another.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://simulation.transurb.com/simulators/simulators-range/nano-simulator |title=Nano Simulator - Transurb Simulation |access-date=2022-05-24 |archive-date=2022-05-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220524064143/https://simulation.transurb.com/simulators/simulators-range/nano-simulator |url-status=dead }}</ref> The company Transurb Simulation was the first to propose such a tool, which has now been adopted by many operators around the world and is becoming of a growing interest for smaller operators.
