Neckartalbahn: Heidelberg - Neckarelz From Tsg Discussion Thread

I could imagine working out all the steam logic and everything surrounding it being tons of work for TSG, and they don't wanna put out anything half-baked for sure. The 420 is the best proof to that
And in both cases, it's not entirely their fault if DTG releases information about their projects way too early...

I'd say be patient, let them work everything out. TSG has not disappointed before, give them time to keep their quality standard at their usual high level. That goes for this route and the 420, and even the 232

 

Quite looking forward to this route but trains run on it is just steam.

 

No, it’s not just steam locomotives that you’ll be able to ride there; there’ll be electric trains as well.

 

New pics from the roadmap that were, for some reason, never shared here:

Also, from the interview Lukas gave, we now know that the m-Wagen will feature both 1st and 2nd class coaches, and that we’re getting four new freight wagons. Also, maybe the most interesting thing is that there will probably be a small KÖF engine DLC, with a model for it already made.

 

This is looking really good. Hopefully getting close.

 

Could TSG Neckartalbahn's German route arrive as early as October?

 

I have no rush. I prefer they take the time they need to do it right.
If they do I will be happy to buy it when it is released.

 

It would make a nice Christmas present, that’s for sure. About the only thing on the TSW7 horizon I’m really pumped for and possible Day One purchase. Though in my case mainly for the UIC stock so I can relive those uncomfortable long D Train journeys sat on those short back hard plastic compartment seats.

 

Sorry for ping Maik Goltz but any chance of some interior shots of the UIC coaches? As you know I have a long standing fetish for those hard, unyielding plastic half backed seats when DB allocated this type of stock to the long distance D Trains. (11 hours from Hoek Van Holland to København!).

 

It would be cool to get an early E40 on the route, with a single marker light per side.

 

What type of coaches are you written about? The Bm238? Those have very good seats and no plastic....

Bm238 in the 70s



Or do you mean the IR wagons but those are way more modern and not as above.... The IR wagons are from the late 80's and 90's

IR wagons:

 

IIRC, Vern got stuck on a 232.

 

Correct Bm 232. Think they only started putting fabric seats in with the 235’s but even they still used the same half back design, as shown in Jesper’s picture of the 238.

I think the running joke at the time was that Bm stood for (Sore) B(u)m…

 

Both are very iconic coaches

 

Very much liking the rolling stock of the route..
I do hope though that TSG is touching up some of the foilage a bit more.
The Trees around the castle look quite uniform and the barren ground is also not the prettiest.
I don't know how they did it, but on Mittenwald the Forests seem to look noticeably better!
