A model train of the 21st century
I tested this app on a Kindle Fire HD. As hard as I could.
Immediately, I cranked up the graphics to high and activated the opposite train.
My engine, no matter which one I chose, worked just fine. So did all sceneries, including subway.
Choosing between different views was very nice, and I particularly liked the inside view. The gauges are just decoration (you can see your speed in the upper left corner) - the simulation reminds me of the MS train simulator I played about ten years back.
The app never crashed.
You have many engines and cars to choose from, you can see them from the outside and adjust the view by panning around.
If you have passenger cars and stop at a train station, you can see passengers board and leave the train.
The sound is realistic, from bell to braking.
The one thing that MIGHT lead some people to give it a bad review is that there seems to be no goal, score or task.
Well, why should there be?
The goal of running a model train is running a model train.
