    Built in the early 1870s, the 172 km stretch of main line between Münster and Bremen formed part of the larger Wanne-Eickel-Hamburg Railway – which had the goal of linking the Ruhr and Hamburg regions together.

    the rolling stock:

    The ICE 1 is the first batch-produced German high-speed train and one of six in the Intercity-Express family. Revenue service at speeds up to 250 km/h (155.3 mph) started in 1991. It was raised to 280 km/h (174.0 mph) in May 1995 and later reduced to 250 km/h (155.3 mph) again. Today, only a handful of ICE 1 services on the Nuremberg–Munich high-speed railway reach 280 km/h (174.0 mph)

    these will run 66 ICE services

    The mainline BR 145 was derived from the prototype locomotive 128 001, built by AEG and Henschel as an experimental high-performance electric locomotive as a test bed for new technology.

    these will run 141 re and rb services and some freight services

    with layering it would add some new things to it as well

    DB BR 146.2 and DB BR 143 and the 112.2 and 182 substituting for RE and RB services
    the db br 182(MRCE) and 182 (normal) and 187, 185.2 (railion and MRCE and normal) running 41 freight services all substituting
    the db br 204, and 363 and vossloh g6 all running 16 shunting duties all substituting

    Hopefully long routes are true in future. According to DTG's New year's livestream, they are developing new tools, which may make route building faster, but I don't think that route lengths are increasing that much during this year, but next year can surprise positively, or it can be disappointment. We don't have a crystal ball.

    Maybe a route for a 3rd Party? Aerosoft developed the original Münster-Bremen for TS. Maybe they also start to develop for TSW, so they could do that. I'd love to see this route!

    Nope, Aerosoft is just the publisher for the route. I developed it together with Jan Bleiss (VirtualTracks). The route is too long to recreate it for TSW (now).

    While the 145 and the entire TRAXX family derive from the experimental 12X (BR 128), the 145 is expressly a freight locomotive, with axle-hung motors and 140 km/h top speed. The 146 was its faster passenger twin, with hollow shaft drive. The 146 of course is now into its third generation, but DB for whatever reason designated the upgraded 145 the 185 instead of 145.2.

    your right, right now DTG just dont have the right equipment for 100 mile routes such as this, i think once DTG have the right equipment/technology to make it, its a route to consider.

    Ah thank you for the correction! I've just looked at the steam page where it says that Aerosoft is the developer and DTG the publisher. But good to know that you had your hands on that route.

    Since then 3 years (minus 3 days) have passed. Perhaps now it could be an option. When we don't ask for a very detailed route, it could be. It is a bit shorter than the Kassel - Würzburg line, but it has a lot of stations, villages and three cities. Also, the route has a lot of services, which can ask for a lot of the RAM of many PCs. The Train Simulator route is constantly crashing.
