This is a great little game which sets the scene nicely for Railroads 2. I'd still love to see some new levels and features on this version though (hint to devs 😁) If you're thinking about splashing some cash on the necessary in-game currency, 'Hats', don't get too many as you will finish the game without spending 100k. Well worth a couple of quid though.

Love this game, few suggestions for developer's. 1. If someone select the trailer and cancelled it before the train start please add money into his collection. 2. Signal has an issues if its in Y junction.. 3. Could you please add descriptions of icons... In texas map double fuel and double food is bit confusing... Awesome grafics, need to improve on suggestion points

I love this game, but the signals still need improvement and trains wreck for no apparent reason. After returning to the game after making a call or answering a text, trains wreck for no reason. Trains that have dedicated track with no other train on it have wrecked on straight track that is nowhere near other track. This could be a GREAT game with improvements. Last update was 6 years ago, so I'm not holding my breath.

It's a great game and the fact I've only given it 4/5 should not put anyone off. There are two main things that need tweaking - firstly the difficulty settings, the balance is not quite right, its easy to hit a brick wall without spending some cash (which I willingly did but then it becomes far too easy). Secondly it needs more complex levels or some kind of freeplay/sandbox mode - just when you really start to get into a level you hit all the criteria and can't play it any more....

Good, but it is very hard (though not impossible) to get through a decent way without paying. However it is good, enough that I am actually almost willing to pay to get more hats which are the higher level game currency. I also like the little touch in the tutorial where it has the first railway going between Liverpool and Manchester. If you know your railway history the Liverpool and Manchester Railway was the first "modern" passenger railway, and was the template for all railways thereafter.

I really want to love this game (hence the 2 instead of 1/5). I adore games like Railroad Tycoon and this is the closest I've found so far, but once you hit the hat wall it becomes almost impossible to achieve the objective (train upkeep cost vs load capacity) without paying for hats. Once you pay to access engines for free (regardless of how deeply you are in the red), it's like entering a cheat code on a video game, the game becomes boring within an hour. Unfortunately disappointing.
