The Brünig railway line (German: Brünigbahn) is a Swiss narrow gauge railway line that links Lucerne, in central Switzerland, with Interlaken, in the Bernese Oberland. The line runs via Alpnachstad, Giswil, Meiringen and Brienz, and passes over the Brünig Pass, using sections of rack railway to overcome the gradients, but with most of the line operated by normal adhesion methods.[1] The rolling stock The ABeh 150 is an articulated railcar of the Zentralbahn for adhesion and cogwheel routes . It was developed by Stadler Rail The trains consist of two three-part half-trains, which can also run alone, and a non-powered bistro car lined up in the middle. They are with the three-part ZB ABeh 160/161Coupling and multiple controllable. Four out of seven entrances per side are in the low-floor area these will run 84 services along the route I think it would be a great opportunity for zentralbahn to be in the game and i feel like this is something for rivet games to do, or skyhook games
Good suggestion, only caveat is could the TSW2 physics engine cope with rack operation and severe gradients?
Just a point out - the 150s can't run alone as they are single ended but they can be paired with a 160 double ended unit if required.
This line is very interesting, and would add rack railway, I like this suggestion. Around Lucerne and Interlaken, the S-Bahn could be added later as a Loco-AddOn with some different trains. For example Abe 130 or HGe 101. (One more 101 for the game :P ) fabdiva And the ABeh 150s are usually formed with 2 ABeh 150s back-to-back and a restaurant car in the middle. So they can run alone. you can see one in the picture in the first post, and there is an ABeh 160 as reinforcement. So you get a 10-car train.
This route uses a Riggenbach System to ascend the steep grades which include the tunnel in Lucerne alongside the Mountain passes while electrified at 15kv 16.7hz like German routes and is the SBB-CFF-FFS standard voltage. MrSouthernDriver you need to tell players on the train signaling system otherwise they're going to assume that it uses PZB/LZB Sifa KVB VACMA & AWS/TPWS just like the German-French & British Routes in the game. Owners of Brunig Pass if made for TSW 2 can simply use these trains on Arosa Line the other 1m gauge railway without going into off the rails mode in scenario planner due to both having 1 metre track gauge. However, the rolling stock for Arosa Line like the Hg 4/4 can't be used in the scenario planner due to the missing Riggenbach rack equipment provided they own Brunig Pass and Arosa Line. Gameplay-wise this will be the first route to feature rack and adhesion operations with a tutorial providing instructions on how to approach a transition point from the Riggenbach Rack system into adhesion railway
