I have another small question for the community out of interest. What is actually your favorite DLC from Germany/Switzerland, Austria? I personally find/ 13,25,26,20,19,18,13,10,8,4,1,2,29,30,31,15,2Are, in my opinion, the most beautiful Nahverkehrsnetz Dresden - Riesa Railpool BR 193 S-Bahn Vorarlberg Semmeringbahn RhB Arosa Aggregates Pack Tharandter Rampe: Dresden - Chemnitz Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen Schnellfahrstrecke Kassel-Würzburg S-Bahn, ZentralSchweiz Luzern-Sursee Ruhr, Sieg Nord Rheinruhr, Osten Wuppertal-Hagen RhB Anniversary Collection Rapid transit (Leipzig-Dessau) New Journeys - S-Bahn Köln BR 423 Main Spessart Bahn: Aschaffenburg-Gemünden Linke Rheinstrecke: Mainz - Koblenz Hauptstrecke Rheinruhr Hauptstrecke, München-Augsburg Hauptstrecke, Hamburg-Lübeck Dispolok BR182 DB G6 Diesel Shunter DB BR 403 ICE 3 Railbow DB BR204 DB BR187 DB BR101 DB BR182 Bahnstrecke Bremen - Oldenburg Arosaline Berninalinie: Tirano -Ospizio Berninalinie Bahnstrecke Rosenheim-Salzburg Niddertalbahn: Bad Vilbel - Stockheim
Honestly, I'm just kinda stuck between Ruhr Sieg Nord and Rapid Transit. RRN gives me a black forest vibe that non of the other routes can give me, the second the rain starts, good lord this route transforms. While rapid Transit, it's just the normality of it that I like. There's nothing majorly Scenic, nothing necessarily special. It's just a regular Transit line, and that's what I quite enjoy.
Aachen to Cologne, just a classic route with a bit of everything really, gorgeous station at Cologne with the majestic cathedral, a decent high speed stretch with some gradients to keep you on your toes, pleasant countryside and also a slower section so you again are kept on your toes and not just setting the speed at 250kph, lots of traction choices with commuter stoppers, high speed and loco hauled services on that route.
Top five routes for me would be: 1 - Dresden - Riesa 2 - Semmeringbahn 3 - Niddertalbahn 4 - Dresden - Chemnitz 5 - Ruhr Sieg-Nord While I don't have enough European loco DLCs to actually make a top five of them alone, my top five Euro locos overall from both loco and route releases: 1 - BR 193 Vectron 2 - OBB 1116/BR 182 (Practically the same) 3 - BR 101 4 - BR 155 5 - BR 103
