    Moin,

    this would be a nice addition to Rhein-Ruhr Osten, which I semi-accidentally bought today: The BR 442, aka Talent 2, that we already know, in the colors of National Express Germany. It would give us the right vehicle for the RB48 services (currently run by the highly inappropriate BR 422) and could also be used for the RE7, providing additional express services on the mainline.

    National Express runs these two lines with 3-car and 5-car Talents, the typical consist being either 3+3 or 3+5 for the RB48 and 5+5 for the RE7. When not in use, they are stored at Wuppertal-Langerfeld.

    If they do add this train, I would hope it would come with a route extension.

    We can dream, can we? And if it's just to Vohwinkel. Solingen, Cologne or maybe Düsseldorf would be much better of course.

    I´d love to see DTG add the Ability to use your German Rolling Stock on any German Route. Especially with variable Skins, just like you would like the National Express Repaint paired with some other Repaints

    I'm hoping for this since the release of the route. Please DTG!

    That would kinda kill it since not all German locos run on all routes

    I like that idea! Since the Talent 2 does already exist, all we would need is a repaint and the ability to drive it on RRO...
    If it comes, I would buy it!
