Hello everyone! I thought about which routes should appear in Train Sim World 2. Then I came across the Mannheim-Frankfurt (Main) railway line. This route runs from Mannheim main station via Biblis and Groß-Gerau to Frankfurt main station and is 74.8 km long. However, this route also includes a junction to the Frankfurt airport long-distance train station, which is mainly only served by long-distance trains such as the ICE and very rarely by the IC. On this route, a maximum speed of 200 km / h can be achieved with the help of the German train control systems "PZB", "SiFa" and "LZB". In Mannheim there is also a freight yard or a shunting yard that would be perfect for shunting trips. This route is used daily by ICE trains, freight trains, regional trains. There also run S-Bahn trains. But they only run from Frankfurt main station to Riedstadt-Goddelau. !! Below you can see the important details and which trains should be present on this route !! Important details: Length: 74,8 kilometers long / ~46,6 miles long Top speed: 200 kilometers per hour / ~124,3 miles per hour Trains: 1.

The DB BR 423 (from HMA) can complete S-Bahn services on the S-Bahn route. 4. The DB BR 425 (from HRR) can complete services of the regional trains. 5. The DB BR 101 (from HRR) can complete little IC services between Frankfurt main station and Frankfurt airport. (only six services) 6. The TGV (from LGV) can complete TGV services.

Excellent idea but DB BR189 is ES64U4 instead of Vectron DB BR193 MRCE BR193. You might need to consider Main Spessart Bahn DB BR185.2 Rallion paint Red Paint RSN MRCE 185.5 Rhein-Ruhr Osten or Riesa-Dresden as layers here. Even ES64U2 Hamburg-Lubeck Rapid Transit can work here too. Shunters Main Spessart Bahn DB BR204 DR Deutsche Reichsbahn DDR V100 RRO G6 work at yards as layers.
The RE 60 takes 70 minutes for the route, the ICE takes 35 minutes. This route was suggested in 2021, when it was TSW 2. Now the S8 is served by the BR 643 Mireo. Perhaps this train could be added too.
