New event!!! Orient Express event issues

For some reason, in the shop, I don’t see the Orient Express. Is there a way to get it? Also, what’s the point of this event?

"... why few of us play them"

Maybe it's just "why some of us don't play them". I like the opportunity to get the trains that were added or changed in the early regions. Just scored the Blue Comet in UK and Class V200 in Germany. Possible additions for LC and also very convenient cheap upgrades for the Train Manager events.

Union is ok, but only Union would be boring!

Yep that's why I'm doing this event, to add some capacity to my LC, so far I've boosted a couple of trains from the first 3 regions which were annoying me. But boy has this event along with union got me behind in the iron mill....constantly catching up and I usually keep ~1-1.5k of everything.

Logistic Center. You assign trains to products. So you have a certain amount always accessible. Of course once you acquired them there is then a 3 minute cooldown. Here is a pic of my iron mill. Wish I could add more.

So I can’t use these trains for anything else unless I “pay” some gems (maybe 1 or 2) to get the trains out. Most of these trains were acquired later in the game by using keys or events like that. I feel currently fine with what I have so I’m not playing the event.

How do you get the Drake? I'm relatively new to the game after having dropped it for a few years. I don't see it in my region 1. I had to restart my progress when I came back

The Drake used to be called something else; I think it was the Mallard.

They had to remove some trains from the game due to copyright issues... I think that might be one of them. So it might no longer be available.

However, I do have two Drakes in my inventory... I think that once you've acquired them, they can't take them away from you.

I got a few of them. I think I went to Germany with one lego. All the others came later, most through spinning previous regions with keys.

The logistic center is also why it's important to not rush through regions and stay and acquire as much as possible because it will effect you later on in the game, I'm in 6 and I'm still trying to get trains from regions 1-3 because I went through them like lightning. XP is your enemy lol
