Hello TSW Community, in this post I am going to present you the DB BR 147 (Bombardier Traxx F160 AC3) It is an electric locomotive that is used for passenger services, it looks like the Br187 but it has a high speed of 160 km/h (100 mph) It was build by Bombardier and is used in regional and intercity services for the Deutsche Bahn, from the framework agreement, Deutsche Bahn called 110 vehicles for DB Cargo (as series 187.1) and 20 Traxx P160AC3 for DB Regio (as series 147). The class 147 locomotives were delivered to Stuttgart in December 2016 and were used for the first time in January 2017. Since June 2019, some 147s from Stuttgart have been relocated to Berlin due to loss of route to the competition and can be found there on the FEX, RE3 and RE5 lines. In March 2015, 17 locomotives were ordered for DB Fernverkehr and delivered as the 147.5 series with WTB controls. They are approved for Germany and Switzerland. In addition, at some point they will receive ETCS level 2 equipment, additional pantographs and a rear view device. The long-distance locomotives are painted in IC colors. At the end of March 2017, another 25 locomotives were ordered for DB Fernverkehr; they should be delivered from 2019. They also receive ETCS equipment, but not a Switzerland package. In January 2020 it became known that the railway was refusing to accept 25 new IC2 trains with the Traxx locomotives, as the series had proven to be very prone to failure in operation since 2015 and often provoked delays. When changing the direction of travel, for example, "the train's operating system breaks down regularly," reported the press. A software update installed on the class 147 locomotives at the beginning of November 2020 led to radar problems with the ETCS odometry after snowfall in December 2020, which resulted in almost all locomotives coming to a standstill in the course of a day. Even when the locomotives were at a standstill, they displayed fictitious driving speeds to the drivers. The affected IC-2 sets were initially replaced by old sets. This would be the opportunity to add the IC 2 Coaches, you can find more about the IC 2 here --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercity_2?wprov=sfla1 We are already getting the Br187 so DTG or Skyhook games would have the shape of the train to work with it to create the Br147, the visual thing that is missing on the train would be the destination screen and the door buttons, but correct me if I forgot something. So please add it to the game, that would be so much fun and really great to have
Excellent idea and for DB BR147 IC2 it can be a DLC for RRO and layer to Riesa-Dresden as the correct train for IC services to Koln Hbf from Dresden.
I’ll only say yes of it has the real sound and not the broken one from the 185.5 but I lost any trust in Scamhook they lost any credit
I would suggest to Bring the IC 2 as an Pack with to Locos the BR 147 and the BR 146.5 and the IC 2 Dostos. I would Like to See that the Br147 from DB Regio is a standalone
