### 4/5 — Error bugs on screen

*2025-07-24*

I am enjoying TDJ5 but recently I see a couple red bug icons on the screen. I have been hauling coal to the power plant. Before, when I got back to the coal plant, I could reload the empty coal cars, complete with a moving dump truck bringing more coal from the mine. Now the cars can’t be reloaded. Is there a fix in the works?

### 5/5 — Nice

### 5/5 — Trainz rule

*2021-01-11, version 1.0.0*

I love this game. I’ve made so many movies with this game! I would give this 10000 stars if I could.

### 5/5 — Trainz 2 for iPad

*2020-11-22*

This app allows you to invent new worlds with its own scenery, its own roads and rail lines.   And a large industry base for making and using many products. On top of all this the train engines and cars are by far the most realistic when compared with any other railroad available to iPad apps. 

Too bad you can not share any of these assets, like the ship from Driver 5, with simulator 2 ipad mobile.  You purchase different parts of the game, but they can not be shared.
