Re: NEW UPDATE: Trains are here!!!!

Found the answer. The Train cards showed up in the Railway Shop after it refreshed.  I had expected the Railway Shop to charge us Rail Tokens but it charges TONS of sim cash!!!! 

So do I use my sim cash for war cards or the trains?  If they are going to charge so much sim cash ... they should be awarding us sim cash MUCH MORE than what they do now. This finding was a disappointment. ☹️    

 Train cars and Sim$ needed are shown in the attached pic.

    The trains feel like a bit of a disappointment and are the for 28 days only. In the calendar it shows that it ends in 28 days

    Every 24 hours the shop will change, there are more tains, and with multiple cities i see everyone has a different shop with different trains. The contest is definite not 28 days, it will continue. But you are right, i have 5 stations (from betatest) and 2 trains, you have to deside where to start a train, it will charge less quick than the next train apears. I have 3 passenger slots per train, it looks a good amount, but this is really a very expensive option when using trains. Unfortunatelly i already tried to start disasters at 2 cities, and both need bolts. Pff. That what i was afraid of. What if you get grounded at wars, youcant catch up with the amount needed, and use architects all the time. I hope not?.

    1. That is how long the "Season" special Train event will be. The trains I'm sure will be in SC for a very long time!!!!! 🙂.
    2. They need to make it less expensive to get the trains. I don't like having to use the money I saved for war disaster cards on the Train cards now. As it is it takes forever to earn enough sim cash to get the war disaster cards.

    That is correct. Railway Shop refreshes itself every 24 hours. Buying Bolt, Hats, Lanterns, or any other normal item is a waste of Rail Tokens. Currently, I do not buy ANY OF those items. I wait the time out.  Change the architecture.  So far I am enjoying this Train ride,... it IS however a bumpy ride! LOL!

    I also started with beta. Glad I was so fortunate!  My city is all laid out with track ... Now it will take patience for the long train ride we will be on! 😃

    I'm hooked and currently working on obtaining the required cards to level up my trains. 😃

    **3 available to dispatch. I bought lots of seats in the beginning. lol. 

  • How do I get the two additional ones in my mass transit? It says I need to be at level 30 but I am way past that.
