So I bought Run8 now what do I do 

So you just got Run8 and what do you do next? Well, you just purchased the best and closest to RL simulator you can find and thus the basic keys are complex. First tho (after installing Run8) is to install the latest UPDATES (found at the Run8 website) for the route you just purchased. At this point Version 8 UPDATE is the latest. Then sit back, watch this video, and I go thru the basics of building a train and getting it moving and stopping. As you practice what I teach in this video you will become more and more comfortable and will son be rolling stock across the great divide. Also, don't forget to REGISTER the software! Or your avatar will show up as a Pirate (until you register) and some aspects of the game may not function correctly. Yes, in a server you can see other avatars and you will appear as a pirate. This is to remind you to register. Practice Practice Practice.....
