Oh no 😧

Look this game i’ve got the game a few weeks back and the game is great but now I’m in trouble. I failed one of the levels but when I click replay it pops up with the same screen again and again I’ve even rebooted it up the whole iPad again and it didn’t work. I paid $10 for this game if you can’t resolve this issue with the game I would like a full refund, thank you

I want me $8 back. This game sucks for its price. :/

This game is horrible compared to some other free train sim games ( specifically British rail by fourth rail on Roblox) I want my money back :(

You listed the US 50ft Boxcar Bundle, I can't find it in the game! UPDATE PLEASE!

Ok, this game is good, despite the lack of content this year, has been boring 😑! I just checked your listed items you put in the game on the app-store, and it shows this
- US 50ft Boxcar Bundle

Can you please add (update/bug fix) this add-on to the game, unless my device for this game is just not picking up the information I see on the App Store purchases list! Good day

Adding Famous Steam Locomotives of the USA

I’ve noticed the GS-4 Pack, the 250th pack, and the Big Boy pack, yet they’ve didn’t add N&W 611, the OG SP 4449 with the other whistle, Milwaukee Road 261, AC-12 Cab Forward 4294, UP 844, and several others. I wish the would just add them in so I can finally enjoy the game. I also want them to have settings to change the lighting and be able to edit routes like Trainz Sim 2 on mobile. I know it couldn’t be possible, but I wish they could. Until then, I’ll give this 3/5 stars for not much additional Famous North American Steam Locomotives and unchangeable settings on mobile.

Screw this game

None of the mods have numbers on the locomotive and there’s no way to edit the properties. Can’t multi place cars so it takes an hour to build a single train. Not worth the money anymore and not worth the time because they haven’t done a thing with any of my emails I’ve send dozens of them. I am absolutely done. This is a waste of my time. Do not buy this game. I’m going to go back to trainz 2.

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 at least on iPhone 16PM iOS 27. Please please fix this.

It’s good but…

This is a great game it has great graphics and is super efficient but we need to add more steam engines like the southern pacific cab forward or the gs4 or the ac9

One star

It won’t let me play it anymore I spend like hundreds of dollars on the game

Minor Bugs

We need more American steam! Good game nonetheless, some sounds don’t match the locomotive they are on but A for Effort!

Store doesn’t work, otherwise fine

The content store doesn’t load, but other than that, it’s really good. Very detailed and realistic

JNR(Japan) steam locomotives

Trainz Simulator 3 don’t have any Japan steam locomotives, and that make me sad, I’m wish they add them in for past JNR days, enough dub I’m am an American, I’m like all steam locomotives include overseas steam locomotives, so please, pretty please, add JNR steam locomotives to Trainz Simulator 3, and if you not know them, respect research them by their class names from C62 to other JNR steam locomotives, and I’m will gives 5 stars

When is the new 'Service Pack 2 (SP2) coming to TS3 mobile 📱 for world building tools? 🧰

This game, is pretty good, despite it's flaws and issues, this game has never disappointed me, apart from content with hardly new DLC’s like:

- BNSF Raton Pass | Trinidad to Raton (same DLC's from other routes like Inyo Mountains and the Badgers Pass: The Western Branch route)

They should add more American steam locos

It’s good but I just want more American steam locos for free

Okay really good game but..

I bought this game a few weeks back, and i must say i have been impressed by most things, but there is WAY too much payware. Yes, it fixes the rolling stock gap from Trainz 2, but Trainz 3 could really have some more free trains. It just feels like we’re getting the bare minimum. Thus, i still prefer to play Trainz 2.

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 American steam locomotives, yet TSW5 has ZERO! That is awesome!

Happy railfanning! 🚅🚂🚞🚈🔔📢

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.
