So nostalgic

I thought this game was taken off the App Store but no it’s still on seeing this game after 9 years is really a trip down memory lane :)

Nostalgia Hit

Coming back after a few years and wow, that hit of nostalgia when you hear the “ding ding ding” it just feels like a game that was made a hot minute ago. What would be a good addition to the game would be adding more trains and maps, but if you have a child who likes trains this is a great option.

So happy that I opened it up again 🥰😌

A good memory but

This game is HIGHLY recommended but needs the daylight. And playtend please add the trains from train empire like for example that Irving engine I like. This is good for little kids I would totally get it

We love it!

This game engages my 4 year old. Design your train, pick a layout, move the switches to pick up packages and unlock even more layouts.

My 3 year old grandson loves this app but there is one down fall, the sound does not work. Please fix the sound and I will give this app a 5 star rating.
