All of the above, plus, offer to meet them half way on the cost. They already got you a computer. What did you do to earn that? Do the same for the simulator.
Cranking out some good grades on up-coming report cards usually goes a long way with parents concerned about the best interest of their children. Maybe a deal can be struck there.
Nothing worth having is free.

Tell them you want to become a train driver, and this will help.
