    So DTG release the Frankfurt - Koblenz route today 27/08
    And on the Steam page you can download the Manual for more information
    https://store.steampowered.com/manual/1267507

    On the cover is the BR429 emu and there are 7 Career Scenarios for this unit.

    The Manual tells you about the
    DB BR 411 ICE T in DB ICE livery
    DB BR 423 in DB S-Bahn Rhein-Main livery
    DB BR 101 in DB Traffic Red livery
    DB BR 185.1 in DB Traffic Red livery
    DB BR 294 in DB Railion Red livery

    Even though these trains have been out for a long time and do not feature as the driving train in ANY Scenario

    Peter

    EDIT - it seems the BR429 manual is separate from the main route manual
    If you wish to read it before buying then that is not possible

    I've seen elsewhere that there is a separate driver's manual for the BR429 emu that downloads with the route. It's not on the Steam page.

    I was looking at this route earlier Peter, is it worth the investment? I like the look of that emu.

    I have completed the St. Goar railfan scenario. The station is nicely modeled as the surrounding town is not too bad. I'd ignore the piers into the Rhine - they do not match reality.
    The signalling is also wrong, in so far as when the main signal is at halt (red) the vorsignal on the same mast should not be showing any aspect at all (it was showing both green and yellow lights). and the tunnel mouths do not match the real items.
    It is a shame that the opposite bank is not modeled, you really need both sides of The Rhine Valley for authenticity.
    I also had an invisible train pass through the station. I'm going to check my settings and run it again, just to check..

    I don't have the route as it seems to have a number of errors from the post above and others

    If you like the emu get it from ChrisTrains direct as it comes in 4 versions

    If you have Konstanz - Villingen - Hausach there is a reskin for this unit in to SBB Seehas livery
    https://rail-sim.de/forum/filebase/entry/2565-fan-stadler-flirt-3-sbb-seehas/
    And there are other repaints on the same site
