    In addition to what's already there, I'd like to see. If this feels like a lot, then Joe has been spoiling us!

    * Aachen DMU network (RB20), using the Red 628 as an ersatz, playable between Aachen and Stolberg (providing the first regular stops at Eilendorf), otherwise AI at Aachen, Stolberg, Eschweiler
    * RB38 between Koeln and Horrem, again using the 628, an extra playable service using another side of the triangle at Horrem
    * All 5 S-Bahn routes at Koeln, with S12 and S19 playable, S6 (using the 422), S11 and RB25 (again the 628) as AI
    * As full a timetable of AI trains at Koeln Hbf as possible
    * Freight trains that use the goods loops
    * Shunting at Stolberg and Ehrenfeld
    * More depot runs
    * AI trains heading north-west at Aachen, e.g. RE4 (Dostos) and RB33 (units)
    * Branch line AI at Duren (the 628 again)
    * 110 + n-Wagen occasionally subbing in and/or providing peak hour services. Also appearing in sidings
    * A 103 railtour

    Less realistically (and controversial):

    The TGV Duplex as a replacement Thalys

    Impossible as the duplex can't run on 15kV and don't have LZB/PZB

    It'd have to be AI only. I admit it's unlikely.

    Not even as the "AI only" is at Aachen where it's either 3kV or 15kV in the OHL

    easily one of the best german routes. hopefully ICE trains will have priority and dont have to stop for the regional trains and can pass it on the fast lines when it pulls into a station. since currently you need to wait for some reason.

    The editor appears to have an "off the rails" setting for when a timetable service is added so the TGV could be added. Also you can make the TGV look like it's running on the 15kv ac by setting the mode to "AC" and the pantograph to "rescue" so only the rear dc pantograph is raised making it look a bit more realistic when running on Köln Aachen

    The tgv duplex can not replace the PBKA we need a 2N2 3 UA or a PBKA by thalys .
