Vehicles and trainsets
Order cars, keep them at a depot, and run them as a “trainset” of several coupled cars.
How to
- With the depot tool, tap a start point and an end point on your own track to build a rail depot.
- On the map, open ≡ → “Vehicles & trainsets” and choose a series.
- Tap a preset (a commonly used trainset), or choose car models in order from the front.
- Enter a trainset number and order. Railway cars arrive in 6 hours.
Good to know
- A rail depot holds “length ÷ 20m × number of storage tracks” cars.
- Electric trains and electric locomotives can run only on electrified lines. Diesel railcars, diesel locomotives and steam locomotives can run anywhere.
- Electric trains and diesel railcars need cars with a cab at both ends. Passenger coaches need a locomotive and a brake coach (with a conductor's room).
- Order locomotives and coaches separately. Then couple them with “🚂 Attach a locomotive” on the coach trainset.
- With “× ○sets at once”, you can order up to 20 of the same trainset at once.
- You can choose a railcar factory as the maker. If you run that factory yourself, you pay only for parts (45% of the list price) and steel.
- Running lowers a car's condition, and it drops faster after its lifespan (1 year). Cars in poor condition may break down.
- You can do inspections (condition +35), AC installation, refurbishment and more. During the work, that trainset's trains are cancelled.
- Use “Set as spare” on a trainset to make it a spare trainset. When a trainset of the same model and length at the same depot is under work or broken down, the spare runs instead.
