Best game for iOS *****
by Raiyou Adare
Simply the best thing I've seen on a mobile platform! It's more than a train simulator; it's a train experience. With the layout creator, you can really go crazy! Plus you can run your very own shortline picking up and dropping off cargo. I don't care who you are, you'll spend hours playing this game
The best app in the entire App Store *****
by Maus009
Great Graphics, runs smooth, adds a lot of stuff that wasn't there in the first version
Fantastic *****
by TrainMasterJack
This new version is superior in many ways to its predecessor. The DLC content is also amazing because you get more steam locos and new maps as well. I highly recommend this app to any train lover
Great!!! *****

I love this game. The only thing is that my phone get too warm. Maybe is because I play this game every time that I can :)

Community Insight:
This along with Trainz 12, Trainz a New Era, and Trainz 2022 is the best.
We have played the game since we were 5 years old and we loved it and we still do fun fact our stupid self buys OVER 500$ worth when we were 6 but still amazing game.
Very impressed you can buy stuff because it makes the more realistic, the local train cars and even come with roots route.
Hello N3V Games and creators of Trainz Games. Just thought Id give an idea for future releases, if you could add the following engines. N&W 611, Norfolk Southern engines like SD70M-2s, SD60s, SD70, Dash 9s in Thoroughbred Paint, AC44C6Ms in standard paint and sine waves on some engines, UP ES44AC, SD70M, CN C44-9WL, CPKC content, etc. We hope you read this and take the new idea into consideration, the game severely lacks a lot of content and it would be more fun if more content like this is added as it would be great for future experiences. It is a wonderful game over all.
We love this game. Its been our favorite game since we were a toddler. But when we play this game on our iPhone, then controls are a little bit too small. And so it makes it hard for us to press them. Thank you.
Only one problem, we cant see the passengers whenever we load up the coaches or stations with passengers. We just cant see any passengers waiting at the platform in any of the stations in the game.
Can you please add Rio Grande narrow gauge? We love Narrowgauge so much and we would love to have a K 37 or a K 36.
N3V Games Listen ,we Love This Game ,But If we Play It ,It Crashes! , Can You Fix That? And FOR THE LOVE OF GOD Please Make All The Steam & Diesel Locomotives Free And The Sessions Too And For The Love Of God, Please Add our Favorite Steam Locomotive C&O 2716 ! . & FOR THE LOVE OF GOD Please Add N De M (Nacional De Mexico) Steam Locomotives! & For The Love Of God Please Change The Whistle To Big Boy In To A C&NW H-1 Northern From The Video Called Trainz Customs 6 And Add A SAR Class 520 Bell For UP Big Boy & Mountain Type! & For The Love Of God Please Add The Ghost Trains From The Video Called A San Jos Branch Line Halloween! (Also our Name From This Message Is Carl The PRR D16sb Fan!).
Pretty good. We wish the frames were better and better quality but overall its extremely good.
We cannot use the store we have Been trying for days but it just says no content is available for purchase.
PLEASE add 1225, n&w j class. A and Y class from the n&w. And of course. Niagaras and Mohawks from the New York central.
Welcome To Trainz Driver 2 GP38-2 Seaboard System Welcome To The Team GP38-2 Seaboard System.
We just wish that there was more stock steam trains and more routes available without paying but over all good game.
This game Is great and we got this game. We actually started our YouTube channel with it unfortunately trains three doesnt work so Ive come back. This was always the better of the two.
We love the game so much that we made a map for the game its called rails of the mid west. But the game need to update more please. But thats the only thing that is bad about trainz that it didnt update a lot. Thank you trainz.
They give you a free train for rating it.
Hey THIS GAME IT GREAT but we are here to ask you something PLS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD nv3 pls add trainzltalias Rollins pass winter 1910 addon. Now nv3 pls this would be a great thing to add giving new assets and NEW STEAM LOCOMOTIVES this game severely lacks in steam power so please do take this in to consideration pls add the route with the original content this probably would be the best selling route in this game just the amount of steam rolling stock and other things he would get also, the difficulty of climbing up that grade would give so much realism that it would probably some of the people favorite SO PLS DO.
The game was fun but why are no mods for the game.
We like the game so much we play it every day.
Can you add more trains like the Conrail gp38,Via f40ph,Conrail b40,southern pacific sd40 ,and more trains please.
We highly recommend this classic.
This game is incredible arguably the best one on ios!! But it would be 10x better if you added a lot more csx routes in the Carolinas! Like the Csx Monroe sub and Charlotte subdivision having those routes and more would make this game be top notch.
The game is super, we would really like to see Russian trains in the game.
As a 12 year old train loving boy, this is so far our favorite mobile train game we highly recommend it for other train loving kids.
Love The Locomotives In The Game That we Got & Hopefully They Add More Like The BN SD60M Executive SD70MAc BNSF SD70MAc Santa Fe GP60M & GP60B UP Challengers & Many More.
Trainz driver 2 is an absolutely amazing game with several locomotives and rolling stock to choose from. Editing a route and Surveyor are welcome additions as they add your own twist of fun to the game. However, Id say bye for the best thing about this game is the graphical interface and the paid dlc items. They are simple yet bring lots of fun to the game. Overall dont spend your money on Trainz Simulator 3 rail fans of the gaming community and choose this game as its the best on mobile. :).
Can you put Thomas and friends Trains on Trainz for a update.
We LOVE THIS GAME!! But it is missing stuff from Trainz sim 2 that other VERY IDENTICAL game to this one. Like when we went to the environment category, we didnt see the session rules tab and we really want to make better railroad crossings like in the video but we cant because the button to actually do it aint there. Imma try to get ts2 and then try to do data transfer (if thats even possible). Unless u add/fix it before we do. PLS DO SO we REALLY WANT TO MAKE THOSE COOL TRIGGERED BETTER CROSSINGS. PLSSS SEE THIS N3V GAMES.
Can you add more stuff like mbta trains, tri rail trains, metrolink trains, metra trains, Caltrain trains, and coaster trains please Theyre all commuter trains and add coaches please – Eli.
It is ok but can you please let us add cdp engine files to the game please? Im trying to add thomas into the game but its not working and we dont know how to do it.
This app is honestly our go-to app! This app is fun, nothing will be better than this! Only one thing though, we really enjoy the bonus content, but we think that everything that is in bonus content should also have a purchase where you get all the content in the bonus content instead of slowly getting new trains one by one! We think this game needs this purchase since theres a TON of trains in the bonus content.
Every DLC is payed. Just go to Ro Scale Sandbox on any OS and get every train you could want. This game is money hungry. Only releasing a free dlc every 4 years.
We like getting new train we race our train yall do it to.
The defects detection is more similar to the real world defects detectir. Find it on the route: Conrail Lincoln Secondary.
The game is good but the tutorial has bugs issues and the sessions too.
You might want to fix the Raton route.
We have been having trouble with the game because of the download station kept popping up on our screen constantly over and over because we got a Chessie system unit can you please remove the csx Chessie system unit from our purchased content and fix the glitch thats happening to us can you please fix this issue we are having right now.
Number 1 the railroad crossing doesnt make sound when the train comes by number 2 why cant you connect the road to the railroad to make it better and more realistic number 3 the train needs more sounds and horns and now lets go to the updates you need to make 1 add more oil tankers 2 add more trains and more roads and traffic lights we downloaded this game again and decided to get it again so we downloaded it back because we want realistic train games and we think this is all updates and changes you need to make about the game :).
We think we need more British tank engines. There is literally only three. Maybe a 3F or an E2. Also we need a class 08. Its cool.
Can we get a Cass Scenic Railroad Route with the shays.
Dude. Your game is amazing! New routes, new trains, and REVAMPS! The Cajon Pass is awesome with the revamped UP SD70ACE and the new BNSF SD70ACE. But when are you gonna add the UP 844 FEF-3, Santa Fe 3571, N&W J Class, or more SC-44 Chargers? But definitely a good train game for mobile users. If you added more real things maps like BNSF Marias Pass or Cajon Pass? When we first tried the game we didnt know how to use the controls, but now we learned a lot about this game about trains. Good Game.
We have played this game for a few years and we love all the maps and engines of the game and we think you could add more maps and engines Here is some LBSCR E2,FR K2,LMS BLACK 5,and Thomas and friends RWS and TVS because this game is mobile aka more accessible to the masses.
Its like the real thing. We like the models of all trains, buildings and stuff. But on Acela trains it doesnt give you the car number. Overall this is the best game Ive ever played in our life.
We really love this game and we have a few train from the shop like 8104 and the USA 4-4-0 and the express we will like to see some more free trains in the shop so we can get them than you.
This a great game but the downloadable content trains need to be free so we can get all the trains including new routes that need to be free as well.
We have used the computer versions of Trainz, Most of our roster being DLS equipment. The game has many of the creative mode features and driving interface is much more simple, which we like. However, there are some trains that would complete the base game to make it more fuller. 1, add a British emu train as there are already British stock preloaded. A class 315 which is a 4 car unit can be rearranged to form a subway train or other transit trains as it has 3 separate cars that can be arranged however the player so desires. 2, a heavyweight coach for the base steam engines. 3, Since the game has Australian locomotives already, maybe add a Hamersly Iron Dash 9 as it would allow for more choices rather than F units and an EMD as 40. 4, a subway track/tunnel/platform set. One with a double track tunnel, a single track fully enclosed, one partially enclosed, track with floor and ceiling, and a stretchable platform to go with it. 5, and lastly a low floor LRV such as a Siemens S70 or S7US. They are common in the US and work well for other maps. These are our suggestions on improving the base game as there is a large number of preloaded ALCo PAs in the game. We have enjoyed the ease and creativity the game has and the multiplayer aspect too.
First of all we seen a lot of your videos before we only drive steam locomotives we have all of the g-s4 and t1 train too. But thats not all though the problem is we cant find the New Haven we-5 on this game the whistle is beautiful its slow but we dont care if its slow we love this train but we cant find it pretty please help us find this steam locomotive please Im 10.
In our opinion, this game is the best train game on the App Store. We really highly recommend this train game! You can pay for new trains but most of them are below 3$ or more than 3$. We even found a free route, if you want to know what it is, its in Rosworth Vale. This is our favorite game on the App Store.
Good game but we need more steam locomotives on this game added to the game like n&w 611 and n&w 1218 and up fef 844 and 836 and frisco 1522 and clinchfield 311 and western Maryland railroad 734 and 1309 and nyc mohawk 3124 and nyc dreyfuss husdon and nyc k-11 and a penn central a-b diesel engine aunit and bunit and four nyc 4 door passenger coaches and all of the Pennsylvania engines added to trainz driver 2 and all of the n&w engines added also and all of the up engines added to trainz driver 2 and cn s1b 3254 added to trainz driver 2 please add more steam engines please like the n&w 4-8-4 j class 611 and frisco 1522 4-8-2 mountain type and clinch field 311 4-8-2 mountain type and demon clinchfield 311 4-8-2 mountain type.
We love this game so much, it was the best.
