    A very sleek and versatile locomotive that is overdue for Train Sim World Era is the DB BR 189.

    This isn’t just an another electric freight engine;
    It is one of Europe’s most capable heavy-haul sets of machinery. I genuinely believe this workhorse would be a very exciting new addition to the game, as it is a true European flagship icon, built for heavy international work, long freight loads with actual precision mainline performance. I strongly recommend this to be bought to the game as it would really elevate the gameplay.
    It’s multi system capability would really bring surreal depth and authenticity

    We could see this on Dresden-Leipzig, Kassel-Würzburg, Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen, i believe it would serve as an extra great addition along to the recent remaster there, which would give it the powerful, modern freight presence it deserves.

    Freight in TSW really is need of a true modern flagship locomotive like this one.

    I would really love to see the 189. Maybe even one version with the akv and Ore waggons

    Yessss we need the BR 189! It should replace the BR 185 as that's reused a lot.

    I would only want this locomotive in expert mode to fully utilize its potential.
