Comments from Trainz iPad users:

Trainz is now available on the iPad – OMG, what a great app to have with you on the road or stuck somewhere.

...allowing your fingers to directly select, move and manipulate objects and landscapes on the screen. The process is actually akin to artistry as you glide, slide and stretch the on-screen elements in an effort to create your own masterpiece.

its amazing what you can do. I created this mountain layout entirely from scratch. I shaped every mountain, placed every tree, laid every track, and painted every texture. This is just scratching the surface of the library of objects you can choose from. None of it is cookie-cutter. Its all user-controlled. Heck, even if you arent into trains, if you like creating cities or nature scenes or whatever, you can get totally engrossed in this app.

I was so surprised at the level of detail in this game. Very responsive, lots of options, great map creator and overall nice way to show what the iPad can do.

The game is fun but it needs more focused routes. The equipment is a hodgepodge of stuff from different railroad, For example the 40, 50 and 60 foot box cars are all PRR but there are no PRR engines. Also develop existing routes like Northbay county and give it a rio grande consolidation or large narrow steam like a EBT mikado. And to do this like I previously said add rio grand/EBT cars. Finally more famous USA steam like 844, 4449, N&W 611 and matching cars.
