I don't class my time as an investment, the game is purely for entertainment as I see it. This is my second time around, I got bored after reaching level 1,000 last time, science fiction and trains do not mix for me so I'm not really interested in maglev or hyperloop.
This time there is more on offer after the 1K mark but I doubt it will be enough to keep me here. Having got bored of TrainStation last time I tried some of the other federation games but they soon paled.
Time to either seek new pastures or re-register and start from scratch a third time but using steam and diesel only, not even stringing up the knitting for the sparkies let alone going for the fantasy trains. That should make reaching the 1K mark a bit more interesting!
