New German Loco - Speculation Thread

I can neither confirm nor deny if a Vectron is in the works, or if I'm working on such a hypothetical locomotive but if I were, I wouldn't be the one who had control over this aspect since that's down to the scenario/timetable developers.

 

I really hope other trains get ETCS too. We cannot use it directly on a German route but its good for indeed LZN! Just a route (doesnt need to be Germany ofcourse) with only ETCS would be even better!

 

And another could beat MIREL. For now, only the graphic version would be enough. If a trip to the Czech Republic were ever made, the functionality would be added.

 

If no license can be obtained for any TOC that operates a passenger Vectron, then it not worth making it.
In DTG and a Realist's eyes.

 

Railpool and MRCE, both of whom DTG has a license for, own passenger Vectrons.

 

I dont think so, we've seen Boston Sprinter (1st Rush Hour Pack) get a loco DLC and an upgrade to TOD4, I'm fairly certain that the original scope of the Class 700 was London Commuter (before they realised the work involved in getting LC stable enough to add it was too much), so it makes sense that the remaining Rush Hour Route gets a TOD4 upgrade and a loco DLC.

 

I agree and how about Nahverkehr Dresden Riesa/Meißen Triebischtal-Dresden Hauptbahnhof Decin(Bodenbach). Schöna voltage change 15kv 16.7hz Punktförmige Zugbeeinflussung to 25kv 50hz 3kv DC MIREL former Czechoslovakia

 

Sorry, but that's really nonsense, because with Railpool and MRCE they have the licenses for variants that are also used in passenger transport.

Here some examples:

MRCE



RAILPOOL

While London Commuter does need a lot of vital memory optimisation etc, considering it's the 8-car 700/0 coming to TSW, that makes sense for the Rainham services with SEHS but wouldn't for LC and the BML as the majority of services here are the 12-car /1. Even if memory is an issue, it would be such a shame if LC didn't get a TOD 4 update considering the already epic timetable etc.

 

Ever considered they started with making the 12 car version and then cut it back to the 8 car version when they realised LC wouldn't take the additional layer?

 

Looking at the picture the one in the middle is actually meant for Schnellfahrstrecke Leipzig Nürnberg ETCS equipped

 

The vectron is used across multiple countries in Europe and works on both freight and passenger trains, one of the only locomotives that does that other than the TRAXXes and Eurosprinters that we already have in the game, so I see why people would want it.

 

Which is why it's boring imo, I prefer unique content.
I haven't touched said Traxx in the game for years because of that. I believe people will forget it once the honeymoon phase is over, let's see if I'm wrong or right

 

Does anyone know if they fixed the issue of the freight service on Dresden which had to run backwards as the way markers where in the wrong order when they updated the timetable?

I mean surely they should have but it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they hadn't bothered.

 

While I agree with you that these locos could be considered boring, I also disagree. I actually really like the TRAXX locomotives, but I just think their rendition in TSW is a little... lackluster.
OT: Take Simrail for example. I cannot put my finger exactly on to what it is, but I love driving the TRAXX there. It just feels way more alive and rewarding - and frankly - more realistic, driving it there. And I wish the same was the case for them in TSW.

 

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with your hypothesis, however I think it's more logical they intended with the 8-car variant regardless considering it would fit with the Rainham services from SEHS - which is DTG's flagship TSW 3 route; also, let's not forget how much DLC and timetable updates that TSW route is getting (which I honestly think is now way too much as SEHS is starting to get very repetitive).

 

I think that the reason for why many don't like the Traxxes is because of how dull they are (imo) and how many routes they are included in. If the Vectron ends up being good, I think that it will be a popular DLC

 

people in the beginning say it might be an ICE well SIKE it says LOCOMOTIVE not ELECTRIC MULTIPLE UNIT

 

so the leaks say it is a Railpool Vectron


i dunno bro I really want a Vectron in DB Livery

 

You are bit late to the party

 

thanks I skipped like three pages here

 

Same and one of these have the Ukraine Paint while others have Green Eco. Even better Vectron Pack DB/Railpool 193 Austrian ÖBB Baureihe 1293

 

these would be a perfect livery pack- the DB “I am XYZ” series is amazing!

 

The Austrian 1293 can be used to hint at it's home route might be the Vierländerbahn St Margethen (CH) Bregenz (AT) Lindau (DE) Feldkirch (AT) Buchs SG (CH) Vaduz Lichenstein (FL) or Schnellfahrstrecke Wien Sankt Pölten Linz Salzburg Westbahn. I wonder if SBB Vectron can fit here too actually used on Gotthardbahn Rbf Basel Muttenz Olten Sursee Luzern Gotthard Basistunnel & Ceneri Basistunnel trips to Italy.
