    I found out by accident this morning that Rivets DB BR204 was available to be used (6 services only) on Ruhr Sieg Nord. I found out just by running a a 185 Journey. Chapter freight Driver. I chose DB80103 Hagen - Boele. It was a journey that you start about 0715'ish in the morning.

    I found out completely by accident as before I started my journey I went over and looked at what locos were on the power move and to my utmost surprise the DB BR204 was in the power moves consist. Also I note that the DB BR204 has also had the "talk to the signaller" walkie talkie attached inside of the cab. So this must have only been done when the Ruhr Sieg Nord mastery update came about, as I have not seen any news about it in the patch notes either.

    The DB BR204 also appears with
    13 services on Rhein Ruhr Osten
    13 Services on Hauptestrecke München Augsburg
    112 Services on Dresden Riesa :o

    So erm yeah im surprised.
    I suspect this will be the same for PC and Xbox and Gen 8 owners aswell.

    Ooh interesting, that's awesome. At first I thought it would be a substitution for the 363, but that's not the case.

    Do you have the G6 by any chance? I wonder if it substitutes in its place?

    Only on DCZ (on xbox), can you use it on other routes as well? I only have it available on RRO (duh!) and DCZ.

    I have seen the G6 sub in on a scenario on Dresden Riesa, so it could sub in on Riesa but its not selectable to play. A bit like the MRCE Br185.5 from RRO as it can sub in on the power move on RSN But you cant drive it on RSN.

    This train is heavy for one 204 series locomotive. It would be better if it had its own layer with a suitable number of wagons. This locomotive is used for light freight trains and shunting stations.

    I agree and for DB BR204 pre 3 October 1990 German Reunification it was called the DR Baureihe 114 112 V100. Therefore the DB BR204 does match Riesa-Dresden what you did was bring the 204 to its rightful home the East German Deutsche Reichsbahn Network Riesa-Dresden so is the 155 DR BR250.
