Germany Still Needs A Big Diesel Loco ...

... may I suggest BR 232 (former East-German BR DR 132)?

I am not sure if I may post a link to Wikipedia, in case not, please feel free to give me advice and I will delete it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DR_Class_130_family

Reasons:
1) Iconic sound and design
2) still in operation as a workhorse
3) works in West and East Germany
4) Huge amount on private owners, hence huge possibilities in regard of liveries

Any thoughts?

Cheers,
NSB-Steve.

 

TSG has plans for the 232.

 

That's cool! Can't wait.

 

It's going to be a while. The German route and the 420 still have to release. Just be patient and it'll be here

 

How about a Deutsche Bundesbahn Baureihe V200 DB Baureihe 220 Which also ran in the Bremen area 1960-1990s

 

I'd even be happy with a BR266.

 

I wouldn’t say no to the DR BR 180 (V180) in both bogie variants either. But still as a start I prefer the 232.

 

A 216 or 218 would float my boat, preferably unsilenced though.

 

Do you mean the Dicke Babelsbergerin or not? I just call the 232 DR Baureihe 132

 

Yes, I mean the “Dicke” in regard to the V180. I like it a lot. They had 2 variants with 4 axles and 6 axles. Would be cool to have both variants available in TSW3

And I mean the DR BR 132 as well, the problem is many of my friends are younger, so they do not know the DR nomenclature, hence I am used to use the DB nomenclature. ;-)
