The route from Naumburg via Großheringen to Jena has parts of two routes: First the route from Halle via Erfurt to Bebra and second the Saalebahn from Großheringen via Jena to Saalfeld(Saale). Until 2015, this route had a lot of traffic: hourly ICE (or IC) trains, more than hourly regional trains and lots of freight trains trough the Saale. Since December 2015, abellio drives on this route with Talent 2, so the timetable in this route is set in 2015 (befor the regional trains got boring). Until 2015, there was the DB Regio with: the MRCE BR 182 and 4 y-Wagen on the RB20 (Halle - Naumburg - Großheringen - Erfurt - Eisenach) the BR 143 and 3 DR-Dostos on the RB Großheringen to Jena and in direction Saalfeld Some trains on the RB20 also drove with the BR 143 and DR-Dostos. Likely that are not all regional trains on this route, I don't know every line in 2015. Until 2017, there were around hourly long-distance trains from Berlin to Munich via Jena, since 2017, they drive via the new route to Erfurt. There was the BR 101 with the IC, the BR 120 with the IC, the BR 402 ICE 2, the BR 411 ICE-T and the BR 415 ICE-T. And of course, lots of freight trains. The long-distance trains stopped at Naumburg and Jena. Naumburg - Großheringen: 13 km Großheringen - Jena-Göschwitz: 32 km Halle - Naumburg: 46 km You may also build Halle - Naumburg, the RB20 ends there, some ICEs drove via Halle (but the most via Leipzig) and freight trains stop there. After Naumburg, the route goes via Bad Kösen to Großheringen. In Großheringen, the route would continue to Erfurt and Bebra. Our route starts in Großheringen and goes now via Camberg to Jena. The route would now continue to Saalfeld. You see now the full route (except the option Halle) with the traffic. Again, there are for sure other regional lines which I don't know. Some pictures: Naumburg: Bad Kösen: Großheringen: Camburg: Dornburg: Porstendorf: Jena-Zwätzen: Jena Saalbahnhof: Jena Paradies: Jena-Göschwitz: BR 143: DR-Dostos: 778 Cab: 760 Cab: MRCE 182: y-Wagen: Wittenberger cab car: BR 411: BR 402: You have now the choice: the 778 or the 760 cab? Or both? My suggestion for a DLC: 45 km route from Naumburg to Jena Optional: 91 km route from Halle to Jena BR 411 ICE-T for long-distance trains BR 143 with DR-Dostos Some freight My suggestion for Loco-DLCs in the future: MRCE BR 182 with y-Wagen BR 143 with the other cab car (if you build the 778 in the route, then you build the 760 for this DLC for example)
What a great suggestion, the rolling could be the Y-wagen + MRCE BR182 (that already comes with Ham-Lub) and the ICE-2/ICE-T We already have the DoStos and the 112/143 to haul it, and making another (different) cab car would, IMO add very little to the game.
There is a big difference between the Dostos, but I know, player outside from Germany won't see a big difference in the first view.
I know there is a big difference, but I believe it would be better to model completely new trains rather than doing all different kinds of DoStos
