I'm going to do a monthly development insight into one mod I release within the current month (e.g November for this one) whether it has released or not to explain what goes on behind-the-scenes November's 'Development Insight': Case Study: (TG08) Ten Eleven (BR 111/BR 110) We chat to the OP of this thread, TrainGeek08 to talk about the scenario (below) '(TG08) Ten Eleven (BR 111/BR 110)' that will release next week . Why do you come up with awesome scenario ideas? TrainGeek08: "As you all know, I come up with scenario ideas many months in advance, so I have time to think of a name for them in the meantime." The pressure must be on to get this one right after the success of Munchtron, is this true? TG08: "Oh yes it is! Munchtron was a big shock when I found it had gained 100 subscribers and counting within a few days of release. Maybe it was because it was my last scenario of 2023? But yes, this one was going to be a challenge to get onto Munchtron's level but I hope that I have delivered yet again on this route." This is the second-last German scenario of the year, which was your favourite to create this year and why? TG08: "Now this one is pretty tough to answer... I would say FLX30 Aachen based on subscriber counts on Creators Club itself however my favourite scenario to create on a German route in 2024 has to be TRAXX TnT on Nahverkehr Dresden because the storyline fits so well with the formation which you are driving and the rain gives you a little bit of an extra challenge for stopping at all the stations. FLX30 Aachen was a good one as well but TRAXX TnT has the edge over it from my point of view but it is vice-versa for the community." Did you enjoy making the scenario? TG08: "Yes, I always enjoy coming back to Hauptstrecke Munchen-Augsburg as I want to replicate the success that Munchtron had at the end of last year." Are there any custom liveries in this scenario? TG08: "Unfortunately not on this occasion, not every scenario needs custom liveries to look accurate as it is mostly DB that operate out of Munich Hbf anyway." How long does the scenario play for? TG08: "This scenario plays for 50 minutes along the regional lines through Kissing, Mering and Mammendorf before you join the fast lines for the run into Munich, all with a variety of ICE, RE/RB and S-Bahn services along the route as per reality." Thanks to TrainGeek08 for taking the time to answer those burning questions for us Conclusion: Anyway, this is it then, hope you enjoyed this one, put your thoughts below, from me, TrainGeek08, I'll see you soon for another CC release announcement, enjoy the rest of your day and goodbye . Release date changes: N/A
Just to let anyone clueless about what 66301 looks like, it will most likely look like this (Credit: Leslie Gilpin)
Oh yes . Hopefully I will get a nice group photo with my other two GBRf liveries I made this year (66789 and 66708) .
