Railway items are needed everywhere but take too long to get. I won't pay for railway currency. Airport shipments, repairing disaster zones, war deliveries, etc This is a big slowdown and annoyanc...

I 'was' so excited about the trains! Wow, I get to test with their beta!
Sadly what I was expecting is so different than what EA is doing
I thought it was going to be about trains / related to trains. When I saw my first conductor hat and bolt I smiled.
I dug into my wallet, bought 3 trains, and began laying track!! Lugs might be coming. ?? Anticipation!!! well, I Began saving train currency for renovations, operations, and anything train-related.
I was expecting to have to pay for track repairs with bolts, lugs, new tracks, … get new cars of all sorts, sizes, and looks…and possibly pay a conductor (All conductors wear a specific hat).
Railcars! So many different railcars to deliver exciting things across the land from boat docks to the center of the city. I better start saving my rail currency for all the anticipated Items! For Christmas, July 4th, or other holidays? Who knows?! But the world of trains had sparked a huge interest in me.
Rail $ to maintain the railway and what all goes with it. purchase drones to keep an eye on the track conditions and rail $ to pay welders, and workers who need to replace the tracks after time and work the switches.
What??? What is EA doing??? use rail funding to purchase everyday global items???
EA is using old material that can be bought or gotten anywhere. What happened? Derailment. Looks like the EA train had a derailment. ☹️
They have an exciting new idea for SCBuildit. I sure hope they get back on the right “track”.
So you spent real money for abetatest, thats risky?
Finally, someone who was able to purchase extra trains. Does that increase the number of passengers you can board at any given time?
I did not spend real money (its a beta,you dont spend money for a betatest) but managed the second train. Its just the same. Only you can board 30 instead of 20 passengers.
Well, they are back to 10 minutes and 30 for the lamaline 350.
i started a war, and vu disasters, i see i still need bolts for repair!
there must be another way to let the developers discuss the game with a small group of betaplayers, but its not this group, unfortunally. To make the trains work they could listen to the forced betaplayers, but they dont. The betatest is released in several languages, i have 2, i saw a third, so the team must be iugger for testing. Who knows.
It has been a few weeks since my last report. I want to mention that I am an experienced player, this is my 5th city. I started playing a couple of months after SC was created. I've had a few clubs. The first club I created was a no-war club, 3 years later I learned about war. I was fortunate to learn from skilled war players. Played a lot of exciting games. SC has gone through many changes.
My interest in SC had gone down somewhat, that is until I saw the beta train testing. I started a new club directly after. I am highly interested in where EA goes with this new system.
Regional items on top of Capital items became too much. I do not like regions for that reason. Simply put, there are seriously way too many items in play. I left that city behind and never looked back. With that being said, ... having trains travel from the capital to regions would be an AWESOME site!! (IF there were NO regional items, lol)
SC has a lot of items in play. With this new beta I feel EA should have given a certain amount of train $ to use in creating 'tracks... earning more train $ along the way to continue building it. Something reasonable of course. The infrastructure of Tracks & roads always needs work done. Train $ should be earned and used to deal with the train system. Capital items are available in the global HQ. Why would anyone want to waste their train $ (which takes time to earn) on regular capital items that you can get from global, club member, friend, or make?
Although yes I did spend real money on the train- what EA does with this diamond in the rough will determine whether I spend any more going forward. Such fabulous opportunities for the Train System. *****I hope when it IS released ... many of us become happily surprised and eager to continue playing SC with a worthwhile Train System ;-) SC is by far one of my favorite games.
I had to cropthe immage, oh my…… they release the mass transit! Its dutch, but theytell” do you hear the train whistle” wow.
