    Hi there,

    I wasn't following closely the last couple of months; any news regarding the beautiful and long awaited DB BR 420?

    You haven't missed anything I'm afraid.

    If you look for the latest roadmap and you end up with the same answer we have… ‘nothing’…

    It's just vapourware. Don't expect it to ever release.

    On a side note, has anyone even heard from TSG on the forums?

    I saw Maik comment a couple of weeks ago (think it was in response to Vern on something 420 related?) that the 420 was just in a queue of projects.

    Certainly not something I’d expect anytime soon.

    Maik also works on projects for DTG, and the 420 is a side project, so it keeps getting pushed back. Besides, we all know what’s coming, so yes the fact that it’s listed among other projects isn’t surprising.

    At least the 420 is still on the roadmap. Seems the 232 has been forgotten completely.

    I suppose the 232 will return after release of the 420. Maik stated serveral times in the past months and years, that the 232 is also WIP.

    All i can (and want to) say is: both trains exist and will be released at some point. There is no need to call it vaporware. It's known that i work 2nd party for DTG (for reasons) and currently on such a project that, as always, takes way more time than expected when i applied to it. That's how these things are. But does not mean that i will cancel the planned work on my own DLCs at all. At least not at the state they currently are.

    I know it all takes time Maik Goltz . We're just very eager to play with the 420 and 232. :cool:
