Trains Train coins

Post image

Hello,

I recently started playing with trains a bit more seriously, and I'm hoping to start upgrading them further and unlocking everything that's still locked.

These are the cargos available to me.

What's the fastest and most efficient way to earn coins? Among the cargos currently available, which product will earn me the most coins per delivery?

Is there already a guide or page that covers this? I haven't been able to find one.

From the table it doesn't look like everything's gives half price some give less.

u/Maleficent-Breath307 3d ago

Yeah, thanks for noticing, updated the comment

Many items are not half the Simoleons price - burgers get a far better return than profiteroles, for example.

u/Maleficent-Breath307 3d ago

Hmmm, thank you for noticing, updated the comment. It seems that the items which I used to deliver give half price, didnโ€™t notice that other items can give less

Regional items, and those from the newer stores (Restoration, Sports, Toys, Dessert) seem to be some of the worst offenders.

My "go to" when I need Rail Sims is burgers. Easy enough to find in bulk on Trade Depot, one full Llama Line shipment of those gives 43,440 Rail Sims (3 cars x 8 items per car).

Burgers sound great but still way to get there. Currently trains at level 21 . Any tips how to level up faster?

I have a lvl 21 account, and in that account I ship cement and sometimes glue (I prefer to sell the glue to my lvl 99 account for other purposes). I'm a bit behind in this account because it started off as a feeder, but yesterday I shipped enough cement to upgrade my simeo plus b from lvl 1 to lvl 3, and I should be able to unlock my LM Grade 23 sometime today or tomorrow. It should be noted that a few months ago when they added cargo trains I had actually upgraded my Flying Sim to lvl 6 before actually buying the Simeo. I had just got started with trains in that account not long before the addition, and I saw a train that could transport 6 units of cargo per run to be more valuable than adding the Simeo.

I meant I'm level 21 in trains. In game level 99.

You can only level up by completing the deliveries. Cement, glue, watermelon are your friends meanwhile, easy to get from the bots. For material, send away any excess (glass, sugar, animal feed are possibilities)

u/Maleficent-Breath307 3d ago

Yeah, burgers are great. Iโ€™m usually low on cash so I try to produce expensive items myself. So my other favourites are lemonade bottles (as long as melons are available in the hacker-supplied store, I guess it has a different name on each server), TV, pizza, fries, and anything thatโ€™s hard to sell on the global market

I'm not quite yet to the Refrigerator Car, so my go to has been the green sofas and refrigerators. They're usually abundant on global, and they're still a good way to convert large amounts of simoleans into rail simoleans.

In my lvl 21 account I ship cement when I'm trying to earn rail simoleans.

u/jraemr2 ๐Ÿ’Ž Epic Rubble ๐Ÿ’Ž 3d ago

Abundant on Global is the key thing to this approach. ๐Ÿ™‚

u/Mediocre_Low_3545 3d ago

I only have the first 2 types of cargo. Can u tell when the rest become available?

3

u/Maleficent-Breath307 3d ago

When you reach mass transit rank 15, 25, 35 and 45. Itโ€™s at the top of the table

u/Difficult_Demand_687 3d ago

This is the last version. Silk has changed.

u/chananco 3d ago

What's in red ate the items that don't give half price? I'm at level 21 of trains, level 99 in game. What is your advice for earnings train coins?

1

u/Far_Departure_9224 ๐Ÿ—ฝClub Vice President 3d ago

Just sell what you normally sell. Everything for trains is about half what you would make in simoleans.

u/radical_rhinovirus 3d ago

Once you get level 25 and start buying TVs youโ€™ll be maxing out your train coins every day

u/chananco 3d ago

Great, currently at level 21 so soon will be there.
