"Trainz: A New Era" is N3V Games' major overhaul of the Trainz game engine. This version of the game is a rewrite and rethink of the majority of the game, but includes a focus on compatibility with existing content. The Jet render engine, which powered Trainz between 2001 and 2012, is replaced with a new purpose-build renderer simply named "E2".
