    I am close to sharing my Rhein-Ruhr Osten timetable but would love it a couple people would like to test it a bit. It’s not a massive project but I like it and spent alot of time trying to create some gameplay.
    You could DM me for info. Does anyone have a suggestion on the best way to share the file, like maybe using a dropbox folder?

    I'd recommend workupload.com. No registration needed (<2 GB), handles big files, you can password protect them and define how long it will stay up or how many downloads are allowed before it gets auto removed. Upload a file and you'll get a link to share, or auto send it to emails.

    I'm using it for ages now. Simple and fast. Just zip your plugin and upload.

    This is a little info on what I have created which is nearly 600 services:

    Freight layer requires all 4 DLC below:
    RP Vectron
    KWG
    MSB
    DCZ

    Rhein-Ruhr Osten includes S8, S9, and AI for S5 using BR422
    Required passenger layers:
    KWG adds ICE3 and ICE1 (many eastbound services are diverted onto the S-Bahn line for fun)
    MSB adds RE4 using BR146+dostos
    DCZ adds S7, RE13, and a couple depot moves plus AI for S28, RB52, RB91, and RE17

    Additional Layers:
    DRA+SKA adds Talent2 for RB48 and RE7 (I designed the RB48 services to have some manual coupling and uncoupling and I was unable to get this to work without using the Dresden-Riesa units.)
    New Journeys 423 adds some depot moves plus AI for RE49, RE16, and RB40
    BR101 adds IC services (no expert/cabcar planned)
    MAIN adds BR642 subbing in as the primary units for S7 and RB52

    Great work! Really enjoying this. Although for me the BR 111 isnt subbing into RE (4) Services, where itd be the correct loco before RRX took over, it never had 146s.

    Thank you! Yes, I would like to have this but since I do not own Rosenheim yet I believe this will have to wait.
    I have tried but I am not sure what is missing that is preventing it from appearing.

    I’m steadily adding more freight and shunting to my timetable for a version 2 update. My approach has been just to add 2 freight runs per hour with shunting occasionally moving things around to create new consists either within Hagen Yard or on and off the map. This is just a creative process and pretty complex. I could just have freight services enter the map drive to the other end and then leave the map, but this seems boring so I’m creating a more dynamic world which I think adds more interesting gameplay.

    I also created a broken down eastbound RE4 service that needs rescuing at Schwelm. There was an issue with the rescue loco approaching from Hagen to platform 3 at Schwelm so I had to reroute the disabled train to platform 4 which means several westbound trains will have to bypass Schwelm until platform 4 is cleared. At Hagen a service will jump into action to create a replacement RE4 train to depart Hagen northbound roughly on time and also a loco to go rescue the disabled train and bring it the rest of the way from Schwelm to Hagen. The rescued train will then park at a siding and then a shunter will separate the coaches at the depot.

    Some have asked about including the Expert 101 and at the moment I do not plan to. I have heard of problems doing this and also I do not own the dlc. I am not aware yet of anyone doing this via substitution but if someone knows how to do this I am happy to try it. Most likely I would not add this unless I purchase the dlc and figure it out from there, of course depending on if I can properly simulate the expert 101 in the editor. I am still currently using the TSW4 editor because that is what is working for me.

    I’m getting pretty close on version 2, hopefully ready in about a month or less. Basically to include the rescued train services, now over 50 and probably over 60 freight and shunting services, and a revised group of diverted services!

    I liked the ICE randomly running on the sbahn line but it had no logic. No other services were re-routed and it was happening at all times of day. To re-create this I have decided to close down the portion of eastbound track between Schwelm and Hagen-Haspe sidings for about 4 hours. Then I started working on which trains needed to run eastbound on the left track and which trains needed to completely divert to the sbahn line to try minimizing delays. Looks like lots of fun but I still need to finish that and test it a bit!

    Version 2 is ready for download! I didn’t mean to do it on a christmas day but that’s just how it turned out, I need to stay off my machine for about 10 days.

    https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/m...es/i5232-rhein-ruhr-osten-timetable-version-2

    What’s new in Version 2:
    various improvements to pathing, dispatching, and stopping locations
    added series of services that are delayed or diverted due to a 4 hour track closure
    added series of services relating to rescuing and replacing a disabled train
    more freight services
    improved substitutions
    added BR 111+n-wagen services
    added specific speed limits to hud/scoring
    added medals to most services
