Hello, as the title says I wonder why there are no German (or Central European) routes from the 60s-70s-80s. In the TSC the exact same thing happens and it is a strange phenomenon, after so many years and we do not have any routes from this era. On the contrary in the USA and UK there are routes from the 1970s period (TSC and TSW). Could it be a licensing issue (DR)? a political issue (West and East Germany)? a matter of interest? Thanks,
There is clearly a market for 80s UK / British trail stuff. gauging the reaction of people on this forum to releases from that era. Don't see that many asking for German and US content, except maybe for steam trains.
I can only think of one route set in the 70s and thats clinchfield route. Correct me if im wrong tho please.
The upcoming Neckartalbahn will be set in 1974 I think TSG said they would consider any time between 1945 and 1994, they might be moving back in time slowly with each route so there is more rolling stock to use for the next one
Dovetail is and always was super scared to touch any part of history with potentially negative connotations. The demand is clearly there, but the supply will have to come from third parties.
Would def love to have some DR / ex-DR stuff. Imagine some Halbersdtädter wagons those beige/green and beige/orange and a Ludmilla or so.
In a way, I'd love to see a ~2000 era route by TSG, just so we can have TSG's Expert loco's on their extrememly detailed routes. Wonder how many agree with this.
Definitely a third party job that, DTG themselves is unlikely to do such a thing anytime soon even if it would be incredibly interesting.
The Ludmilla was already on the Roadmap once, developed by TSG. It was added to the Roadmap back in the TSW2 Days, along with the BR 420. I have no idea if it will ever be released.
Hope someone will do one. From TSG would be great, tho. There'd of course also be opportunity for more stuff, like a 120 (Wumme), 118 (Babelsberger), Railbus (Ferkeltaxe) ect - I think these are all pretty rare among simulators.
