### 5/5 — excellent puzzles but a likely bug

*2023-05-16*

I am really enjoying these puzzles. My only issue is that sliding to move the engine makes it impossible to run prototypically, would much prefer buttons to accelerate and brake with proper inertia. But how to solve c6? Seems like a bug to prevent using the only turn around for the main line.

### 1/5 — Missing Pink Car

*2020-11-18*

Level C1 is missing a pink car at the end of the round and there is no way to complete or proceed from that point.

### 5/5 — The Heart of Model Railroading!

*2016-07-23*

Railways operate for a purpose.  For many, operating a model railroad is not about watching a train go round and round, but about solving logical, and sometimes difficult, tasks in an efficient manner-- all while enjoying the movement.

I was first exposed to that aspect of model railroading on a friend's large basement layout, and later learned of classic shunting/switching puzzles such as the "Inglenook Siding" and the "Time Saver."

Andy's Trains offers just such operational challenges in a format that fits in your pocket.  

If you have an operating model railway, this will help hone your switching and train-building skills.  If you are designing an operating layout, this puzzle will present ideas for both track planning and operational fun.  If you have no interest in a model railway at all, the puzzles offer a unique visual set of logic problems to be worked out in an appealing format.

### 5/5 — A Real Test of Logic

*2015-09-03*

Reminiscent of railroad switching puzzles but with real action.  Duplicates the challenges of train club operating sessions.  Hope you have more layouts in mind.  Thanks for keeping it simple while making it hard.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2014-12-25*

This game is top notch puzzle game.   And as a railroader I can tell you this is a great railroad game.   So if you like puzzles or trains get this app
