I am trying to find out where you can acquire the new bolt/nut item needed for upgrading residential buildings. I did the train station update and am now unable to progress in the game due to the new bolts/nuts.
I either need to know how to get them as this update came after I got to level 15 and already build a significant amount of my city. Or, give me a full refund for every penny I spent on this game.

I appreciate the feedback for refunds. I have only been playing for a week. So all purchases are recent.
I would prefer an answer on where to get the bolt/nut items though as I enjoy the game.
Nice info on refunds, now tell us where to find the nuts and bolts to build with. Getting tired of having to request new designs.

I would like to know that too plus how do you build more stations? Thanks all.
I have the new mass transit system as part of the release last week. Seems random who was put in the beta trial for this.
Unfortunately, even if you have the new railway feature, it is incredibly slow and hard to get the items. Hopefully they change the design.
You get a new currency every time you send out a train from your train station. But only a small amount. And you have to wait 2.5 hours to deploy another train. With the new currency, you can buy these new items from the new Railway Store. Like the War store, what isnfor sale changes. Right now railway store changes options once a day.
Long story short, it takes forever to get what you need, and the items are needed everywhere. The only way to get by right now is to spend simcash to rush items or actual money to buy a ton of currency, which is maybe what the designers are trying to do. But if you look across the posts on this forum, you'll see the new feature is alienating and frustrating a lot of players. Fingers crossed they roll it back or make the whole system optional.
They are available in the new “Railway Shop”
First, you need to add a train station to your city,
1. Go to the “Services/Specializations” icon. (Looks like a Greek building on the right side of the display at the bottom)
2. Click the new “Mass Transit” icon.
3. Add the “Small Railway Station” to your city.
Now you have access to the new “Railway Shop” but you will need to earn “Rail Simoleons” by completing passenger train runs to purchase items in the “Railway Shop.”
1. Click on the “Small Railway Station” you just added to your city.
2. Click the new “Railway Shop” icon. (Looks like a bag with a train on it on the right side of the display)
3. A pop up displays with the items you can purchase. The first item seems to display the Bolt, Vintage Lantern, Conductor Hat, and Pick. (Not sure of all of the offerings yet)
The “Railway Shop” changes the offerings every 24 hours.
I personally have just started to collect the rail simoleons waiting for more info on what the trains can do. They stated there is more to come.
if my building requires one of the new items I am just requesting new building requirements. I think it is going to be like the objects required to unlock new areas to build.
I did all of that but the bolts still haven’t shown up.Just the conductor’s hat. So I have been refreshing the build requirements. But almost every building has been requiring the bolt. Pain having to refresh and wait another 30 minutes every time. Seems like too much work for a pastime game
I agree. It's annoying, frustrating and aggravating. Because of this I was recently prevented from taking part in the design challenge.
Why not simply suppress the railway items from being generated as required upgrade items until EA have sorted things out with this upgrade, rather than continue to alienate loyal players who have years of play, work and creativity invested in this game?
EA don't seem to care how many players' feathers they ruffle with this idiotic update's numerous bugs.
