    Hi, don't forget the potential layer of BR 218 with IC services to Oberstdorf and EC services Munich - Zurich.

    There isn't much freight on the route, except if there are problems on the Arlberg railway, then it's used for re-routing freight trains. Maybe the timetable could include some of those.

    Also some basic information:
    • Kempten - Lindau Hbf is 91 km, Immenstadt - Oberstdorf is 21 km
    • The Kempten - Lindau part supports tilting trains (ZUB262)
    • Maximum speed on Kempten - Lindau is 140 km/h (possibly higher with GNT), on Immenstadt - Oberstdorf it's 80 km/h

    To summarise:

    One new loco (BR 223) with alex repaints, also include BR 612, use 218 as layer for long distance trains.
    Some trains reverse in Immenstadt, with the alex trains being divided there, you have to do some shunting. Similarly there are BR 612 trains are also being divided there, with a unit reversing and continuing to Oberstdorf.
    The 218 as layer adds more of that with IC trains reversing at Immenstadt and EC trains changing to/from electric traction at Lindau Hbf.
