    One thing you could easily put on a German route is some sort of (fictional) Plandampf event. That way, you could easily use a modern route for some vintage steam action. The only problem with that is that there's usually a myriad of steam loco classes used and not just the one (or two if we're pushing it) DTG will use for it.

    It's not that easy in Germany actually. Compared to the UK, the number of heritage railways is absolutely minuscule in Germany. There are some candidates, sure, but it's something to keep in mind.

    Maik is also basically the only person doing all the sounds physics and setup and does contracting work for dtg as well with their trains sometimes. And the fact that he wants the dlc to be 100% perfect lol. So there's other factors why he might take a really long time. But at the end, it's all worth it

    I probably got the word heritage (route) mixed up with the meaning of historical (route). As Lamplight said, it's difficult to easily find a corresponding route like West Somerset in Germany. There is not the one, but several different. Approved special trains (Plandampf) are actually allowed to run anywhere on the rail network, even to neighboring countries such as Poland.

    I pray for retro 80-90' stuff with simple non-hauptstreck'ish track layout and mixed freight-passenger traffic. Something located in south-east Germany with cold war vibe. The successor of RSN, presenting some new tree-shadows-tech. Heavy (t)Rain.

    That meant mean something like Elbtalbahn 1991 where you have Deutsche Reichsbahn 230 & 119 run decin/Aussig-Dresden via Bad Schandau

    ...maybe we can introduce the retro age a bit with the next German route release. The code (3.DBB-R6 03) reveals: BB stands for electric traction AC, R6 means it is a route set between 1991-2010, which can also cover the 90s. So I hope we'll see some livery colors of that era, not DB red and hopefully not 4th gen Dostos again. If it's a former west german route, m-wagons (UIC-X) or n-wagons (Silberlinge) would be very appropriate, they were in use until 2006 or later and were then sold to private rail operators (so there's plenty of variants for the Creators Club to share). Another electric loco than the BR143 would also be nice. TRAXX locomotives were not introduced across the board until the late 90s and the early 2000s. So let's see what's coming. ;)

    I have made two suggestions for 90's routes that I really am convinced would add so much for all players. Just the sheer amount of new and unique gameplay in loco's that have tonnes of character combined with the huge optical variety in liveries, coach types and locomotive types. The 90's just around rhe unification of the DBB and DR into DB has such an amount of potential and character. I would really love to see it!

    Keep in mind that it being set in R6 doesn't mean it's gonna be set back that much further than routes we already have. There's already two German routes set in the R6 time frame, and both are set in the late 2000's, not much different than the R7 routes we have. As much as I would like to see a older German route I wouldn't be getting my hopes up for it.

    Wrong, 6 means it's set between 1991 to 2010, a route with 6 in the code could be set in 2010, but not after.

    Not true. RSN is set in early 2007.

    Well, DTG created the Wutachtalbahn for TSC, so they got all the required research and reference material required for that route. That'd be a nice heritage route. :)

    hahahahah, it would have looked like this.
    Dosto family!
    You can expect the German locomotives everything that involves a locomotive has DBpbzfa 765.5 DoSto (except the DB BR 101) see on this way , except for the two locomotives that don't exist.

    Well, if you replace the current paint with DB red, and replace the whistle with a horn, and convert it to oil it'll blend in with its brothers just fine! Just say the extra smoke's just because it needs a tune up at the shop and the passengers will think nothing of it.

    DB BR 111and N-wagen would be a wonderful new train for the game!


    If I may guess, something around Düsseldorf HBF

    Rhein-Ruhr Osten: Dusseldorf - Wuppertal




    This is everything that already exists in Train Sim World 3

    Rhein-Ruhr Osten: Wuppertal - Hagen
    Ruhr-Sieg Nord: Hagen - Finnentrop
    Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr: Duisburg - Bochum

    As I already mentioned previously in this thread, I'd love the next route to be a 90's route, and luckily the route code gives me hope. But if DTG decided to do a more modern (thus late 00's) route, I'd love it to be a route that is not high speed, but has long distance traffic over it. Something like the Filstalbahn between Stuttgart and Ulm over the Geislinger Steige.

    I think the majority of the German based players would love to see routes and locos that are not in DB Red, like they did with the British Content (like NTP, TVL).

    It's certainly time for it. We have a dedicated High Speed Line now, we are getting a single track Branch line (Niddertalbahn) so it would superb to see something 'Historic'. And of course some German steam in the more far future.

    Even better is Rhein Ruhr West Monchengladbach-Dusseldorf Wuppertal because DB BR111 runs Dostos the RE4 Wupper Express to Aachen via Monchengladbach from Dortmund & Wuppertal.

    You can even go DR BR119 Dostos 132 Dostos the older East German Type. Besides those Era 6 1991-2010 can also support DR Rekowagen & Y wagen

    I definetely think the time for a 90's route is now, after KWG, the need for German modern content should be covered for a while.

    We will definitely get an extension for Main Spessart Bahn with the connection Würzburg-Gemünden, since the complete route is already build, just like the branch to Dresden Airport so we can probably get both routes in the near future

    Niddertalbahn is supposed to be done by a 3rd party, not DTG release.

    In an interview with DTG i believe it was stated that DTG would help a lot,so therefore it might be in the first party section.

    don‘t think so; DTG also helped Rivet a lot in the past, e.g. with the PIS boards on the plattforms to give one example…

    It means dtg will help them implement new features, teach them how to do it, provide feedback, etc. They aren't involved in actual building the route, doing the simugraph, services, scenarios, etc. 3rd party routes are made mainly by the 3rd party devs. Dtg just provide like feedback and help them with stuff, but not actually involved in making anything

    I agree and for HRR Plandampf services seem to run Mülheim Styrum to Essen Steele Ost to reach Bochum Dahlhausen Railway Museum. Here's a video of a Steam train on HRR Essen Frohnhausen

    Plandampf wise These should be Riesa-Dresden and Tharandter Rampe due to them having steam facilities.
