Re: New train stations and new bolt for upgrading buildings

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.

    I can’t access the Railway Shop. I have tracks, a station, and the icon does not appear. What am I doing wrong?

    You need to connect the station on a loop or add minimum 2 stations to you tracks. Go to the station load passengers and top right of screen there is a ticket shape icon, that is the shop.

    hope that helps
