I'd really love to see the "Remsbahn"/"Remstalbahn" in TSW 2, because it is my home-route and it includes many services from S-Bahn to Intercity services. While travelling you will spot vineyards, the Mercedes-Benz-Arena, the river called Rems, monastery of Lorch and the mountains of the "Schwäbische Alb" with its beautiful "Drei Kaiserberge" (Three Emperor Mountains). Additionally I'd love to see the Stuttgart S-Bahn City-Tunnel and therefore decided to expand the suggested route from Sttutgart Hbf to Vaihingen through the tunnel. --> Data: Length: ca. 72 Km (without S-Bahn route Sttgrt Hbf (tief) to Vaihingen) Max.

Excellent idea and what are the Freight locomotives used on this route I'm guessing that will be the same as Main Spessart Bahn DB BR 185 with Rapid Transit DB BR 182 substituting DB BR 185 Ruhr Sieg Ost & Rhine Ruhr DB BR 155 and West Rhine Railway DB BR 189s?
I don't know exactly about the freight locos on this route. In Aalen sometimes a shunting loco like in MSB reorders trailers but I really don't know about other freight locos. I just know that they are mostly not operated by Deutsche Bahn but by other private companies.
They're future routes and Locomotives. That's why they're mentioned in my comment and for the BR189 provided you own West Rhine Railway DLC. You can use it in this route as a substitute for the normal locomotive. In Main Spessart Bahn BR185 can be replaced by a BR 182 & BR 155.
Das kann eine sehr schöne Strecke werden, Bruder! Ich lebe in der Nähe von Stuttgart und fahre ab und zu auf der Strecke. Das Problem würde aber sein, dass der Stuttgart Hbf und Stuttgart 21 BF mit gebaut werden müssen. Ich würde es mir sehr wünschen, wenn diese Strecke kommen würde, vor allem würde ich mich auf den Stuttgarter Hbf freuen, aber ich denke, DTG wäre zu faul, um das alles bauen zu wollen.
Naja man muss die Baugrube ja nicht 1:1 nachstellen. Baufahrzeuge, Erdhügel, etc. würde mir persönlich schon reichen, da man die grube im Spiel sowieso kaum sehen würde. Der restliche provisorische Bahnhof ist ja nicht wirklich spektakulär, z.B. verglichen mit dem Münchner Hbf oder Hamburger Hbf. Ob DTG dann die Schleusen zum Bonatzbau und die Klett-Passage einbaut, dass man zum Hbf (tief) kommt, ist dann wieder eine andere Frage.
