-Carlisle to Newcastle route set in BR sectors era (1988ish-1995) with Class 26, Class 37, PDA cement tanks, Steel Flats, Class 143, Class 108 (and I guess Class 156). -SBB RBDe 560 "Kolibri" EMU -higher quality TPO cars (we have some old freeware ones from Rail Simulator days only) -proper "classic" Freightliner flats so we no longer have to use FSA/FTAs in 70s/80s scenarios -The current HST model reworked into an Aussie XPT and a proper Aussie route to run it on -Class 334 EMU -Amtrak's 'Auto Train' with the classic Autoracks from the 70s (that they took over from the original 'Auto Train')
Metro North Harlem Line: GCT to Wassaic (featuring M3A and Brookeville BL20GH) LIRR extension to Ronkonkoma (featuring LIRR C3/ DM30-AC) Amtrak NEC: Washington DC to NYC Penn Station
Torfmeister Absolutely! I loved visiting Offenburg Bhf (including the restaurant) watching the freights pass through (not running out of track).
Interesting, what had led you to Offenburg? Btw, I'm just about to take some photos of real railway locations in my vicinity and create a thread comparing them to their TS implementation. I'm living in Malsch, its station is featured nicely in Karlsruhe-Strasbourg.
Between 1991 and 2001 I represented a German instrumentation company. They are in Hamburg but I made regular visits and for my own interest travelled throughout Germany, visiting every Lande more than once, often by train by Schoenwochenender fahrkarte.
That was probably the most interesting era in german railroading, a time of transition. The old Einheitsloks were still widely used (BR110,140,150) in a wide variety of colours, the mighty "Queen" BR103 was in service and the new "plastic" locos just arrived (BR101, Traxx...).
It was. BR 103 dominated the long distance passenger trains and 140s the freight particularly in the lower Rhine area and Hamburg although the BR150 & 151s handled the heavy ore trains. Mannheim had a batch of ex DR BR155s and Köln Deutz lots of BR110s and BR 215s for mid distance and local trains. BR216s at Oberhausen, Oldenburg and Osnabruck - where are the BR215s and 216s in TS? the grilles are NOT the same as on 218s (and 218s have variations according to the motor). It was a very interesting time with many varied designs and liveries most of the post 1996 builds are to very similar body shells.
Great suggestion, I definitely think they can develop the Port Washington, Babylon Branch and Long Beach Branch since there are currently provisions for them in the route. I hope one day, they can include the Port Jefferson Branch and Montauk Branch east of Babylon

I would love to the iconic "Stadtbahn" in Berlin, Germany finally coming to train sim. Going to Hamburg, Hannover, Magdeburg and or Frankfurt Oder.
Give us the option to use AP weather extension/triggers in QD. There is no reason we should have so limited weather options in qd here in the year 2023.

Isn't this in the Dash 9 DLC? And a UP AC6000CW should be fairly easy to reskin from the already existing CSX one?
GE Tier 4 GEVO Pack? This would include the Demo and the production models with the square and angled exhausts. BNSF, CN, NS, KCS, UP, CSX all have them! Perhaps this pack should be made for both TSC and TSW3 as well! It's modern and it's ideal for present day scenarios. Especially if DTG do an Amtrak Siemens ALC-42 as well.
The following can be made for TSC in 2023 Germany-Netherlands Hollandstrecke Koblenz Duisburg Amsterdam via Zevenaar Duisburg Utrecht Emmerich am Rhein Trains here are DB BR408 189 made by Virtual Railroads using the C-Akv DB BR1429 Trivoltage NS Dutch Railways ICNG VIRM Vectron. Uses the same common origin point as Koblenz Frankfurt and workshop Koblenz to Strasbourg/Offenburg. that way one can drive ÖBB Nightjet 402/403 Amsterdam to Zürich which stops at Offenburg.

Northeast Corridor: New Haven - Boston. It will allow the Acela Express and Avelia Liberty to really stretch their legs. Northeast Corridor: Philadelphia - New York Remake. There's a lot of issues with this route, it's super old. Maybe throw in Baltimore - Philadelphia as a bonus such as how DTG did for the Portsmouth Direct Line remake and upgrade.
