Meet Henk Plaggemars (Court, 2006) I first met Henk, as so many of our readers have, at a train show. Henk traveled the globe as Auran’s ambassador, presenting Trainz and promoting the concept of Virtual Railroading. In the process he made many friends and left a trail of good will. Recently Henk left Auran to follow other pursuits only to resurface at P.I. Engineering, to help that company bring its new TrainMaster Train Simulator to fruition. We’re pleased to present this interview with Henk, conducted by PIE’s Tim Court by way of introducing Henk to his new teammates. – Ed. PDF
