App has minor mistakes - many HST powercars that are active with Colas are labelled as "stored", and you have to manually input the RailAdventure HST unit numbers. Also, 320411 shows as "scrapped" despite it still running. Other than these minor issues with some locos and units (probably more, but I don't pay much attention), great

Very comprehensive. You find the very odd crossed link or some other adjustment but the data appears to be completely locked as is. Still very good though
