Strasberg railroad

So WHEN IS STRASBURG RAILROAD BEING ADDED? i’ve been playing trainz 2019 AND IT STILL I WANT THIS GAME TO HAVE STRASBURG RAILROADS AND THEN I CAN RECORD SOME VIDEOS ON STRASBURG IN THIS GAME LIKE PLEASE TRAINZ *and Tweetsie railroad* AND *the Toledo Lake Erie and western railway and museum*

Best Mobile Train Game Ever!

Hey, everyone! CoopMan2121 here. If you’re a rail fan or interested in trains, get this game!

For a while, there was a white screen error. Guess what? It’s fixed! And if you deleted the game and then redownloaded it on the same device, you can get everything you had and bought for FREE. If it says error when redownloading inside the game, just get out of the queue and it will be there, ready for use! ✅

I play Train Sim World 5 on Xbox S, so I have a few recommendations that would help you challenge TSW5’s throne:

-Adding In-Cab-Driving
-Moving and breathing people
-Weather events like lightning and thunder and natural disasters
-Remove a lot of the FOUR PERCENT GRADES; REALLY? 🫥.

I must tell you that this is the best mobile train game ever; tycoon or simulator, this game tops them by a landslide. ⛰️

I like how the cars rock back and forth but the only time I’ve seen boxcars shake like that is on a video of a 20th century railroad whose workers are on strike. 🤪

I like how y’all added moving wheels because on your second version of Trainz the wheels on 99% of the locomotives and rolling stock just slid down the track like they were on ice 🫠.

The graphics are just breathtaking in this game😱.

I am also kind of confused on how an SP locomotive found its way onto the Rocky Mountain map for the freight run mission. I understand that they were on the southern edge of the range, but it is not that green. Also, how are CSX trains there?! The main range they cross is Sand Patch Grade and the Appalachian Mountains!

I have no complaints but I have a list of suggestions for rolling stock, locomotives, and routes:

- More New York Central, Pennsylvania RR, and Penn Central rolling stock (IF YOU HAVE A DREYFUS WHERE ARE THE NYC PASSENGER CARS?!)
-SP Daylight Limited trains
-More F7s (A hot rot F7… really N3V? Really? 😕🗿)
-U.P 4014 & 844 with some of the 50’s UP streamlined passenger cars
-The Blue Comet
-UP turbine locomotives (although maybe turn down the physics on the locomotives because they were constantly derailing in real life)
-Actual derailment and crash physics; not just a rotating x
-Horseshoe Curve
-NYC-Washington D.C
-Gulf Coast Division (South Texas to New Orleans) because of the refineries, ports, and switching and long-haul freight opportunities
-Lancaster-LA-San Bernardino-Barstow

I have another topic: the famous Union Pacific 4014. Where is it?! Dozens of train games have it; TRAINZ TWO HAS IT! (Or at least#4008). Y’all, I’ve coded some games so it can’t be hard to make one locomotive and a tender. Trust me, I am truly an avid Big Boy fan. I have ridden on passenger cars pulled by it (no joke, I have seen myself riding it on YouTube), so I would love to preserve the memory of the experience in this game. I am truly begging you to add this. If you add the formation, please please PLEASE add Sherman Hill or Cheyenne or Wasatch Grade, as that was the locomotive’s original area of operation. I would love to see some recognition for this iconic moving piece of railroad history.

Another thing: world edit. There is no way you get out of this one, N3V. You wouldn’t have to always make more routes because us railfans would be making our OWN. Just copy the code from Trainz 2, add Trainz 3 scenery coding to it, and voila! Better reviews.

I am concerned with how this game acts with my iPhone. Like you know the meme with the loud PC that sounds like a jet engine? That’s what my phone acts like when I make a 90 car train. It’s not loud but you can hear the fans turn on and it heats up. Is this an N3V problem or Apple? N3V, please get back to me on this. Also, this game eats up my battery.

Also, it would be cool if we could make our own locomotives and/or paint schemes. Like making our own Allegheny 4-6-6-4 and maybe even a BIG BOY!

Still though, this game is awesome. Good, no outstanding job N3V!

I will say this: y’all have dozens of steam locomotives, yet TSW5 has ONE! That is awesome!

Happy railfanning! 🚅🚂🚞🚈🔔📢

-CoopMan2121

P.S. I will say that I kind of cheated the system by getting TS3 before it cost money. Sorry devs, but maybe don’t wait to price the game because I think a few thousand of us got it for free. 🤪

Multiplayer where is it? Needs to be added.

big boy 4014 Union Pacific Steam Excursion Train Auxiliary Water Tender really needs to be in game for this train that would be awesome. Needs to be added for how old the game is and its updates with and amount of money people spend on this game there really shouldn’t be an issue putting that in game.

Please update this app!

I have spent hundreds of dollars purchasing nearly everything on this sim and I just want it to work. In theory it’s a fantastic sim but all the bugs are terrible. Please please fix this

Best Mobile Train Game Ever!

Before you read my review, do not read the others. They are mean, insulting, and outdated.
