[IMG] Welcome onboard Austrias flagship rail service, the Railjet. Since 2008 these 230km/h fast loco-hauled trains have taken over the long...
Rarely. And then only on services into Austria, as the cab car lacks any international safety systems (Germany and Austria share PZB and LZB). It...
More colour schemes would be great in the future, but currently they don't fit on any route. For the blue IR variant we need IR coaches. The old...
The German figure was for ton-kilometers. But even 19% is not a tiny part. In fact it's the second largest mode of transport after trucks.I'm just...
Who says, that european rail freight plays a tiny part? Yes the majority of freight is transported by truck, but that's the same in the US. The...
1. If you want me to show a specific part add a timestamp and don't just post a 8h long livestream, I ain't going to search through it. 2. Yes the...
Both NEC routes seemed pretty much fixed, at least in my experience. Harlem had problems with stuck AI trains, but this doesn't happen anymore...
Yeah but where would you run it? Of course you can just layer it onto the existing freight routes, but except Oakville (where Amtrack does not...
Surely there are such service. The two IC on Hamburg-Lübeck for example have a loco at each end (yes that's just two of many services in all DLCs...
Yeah was strange back when the BR 101 released, as everybody expected there to be a cab car. I think it's because the BR 101 came with two rather...
I think this won't be much of a problem. As you would need to implement new train formations to the existing timetables anyway, it's not that much...
No not at all. It's not one of the best routes, but not the worst either. If we keep bugs and generally poor development asside and just judge the...
I agree. One just has to remember, that the Dosto was the second ever German train in TSW and is now 5 years old without being updated. DTG has...
Yeah overall the sounds are rather mediocre. But since TSW 4 the sound are really great. The Vectron for example is the best sounding loco in the...
Who sayed that it would be silent? Shure a cab car is awalys quieter than a locomotive, but the IC cab car has really loud and iconic rolling...
Yeah, the Dostos are one of the oldest rolling stock in the entirety of TSW. They were release with MSB, the second ever German route. They have...
Remember that the Roadmap lists both an unspecified UK route and loco. Just because the 380 gut teased doesn't mean a more requestet loco isn't...
To be fair, the more recent locos have excellent sounds. And the IC Cab Car has a quite unique running sound on higher speeds. You can already...
I think they could be developing both. There are currently three different German locos, that were teased by DTG. I could imagine that one of...
HRR also wasn't really a fitting route for the BR 101, being rather short for a InterCity Loco. So I think DTG wouldn't have a problem binding the...
I mean, I can understand that US railfans are angry right now. And I would have never chosen to abandon one of the core countries to get something...
It's the combination of the missing access and missing revenue, as i assumed aboth. DTG have made US content for many years, just as you said. So...
I think they've modelled the Bmz coaches accurately. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] There are two different generations of the Bmz coaches (a third version...
The Bpmmz is actually from the successor series of the Eurofima coaches. The converted X coaches were used in the IR services and later transfered...
I think US freight content has two major problems: DTG has problems getting proper access to trains and track for reference. This seems to be...
They were developed and built in the mid 90s. In 1995 the BR 101 was entered into service and replace the BR 103. A second batch of cab cars was...
A quick comparison: Avmmz bogies (TSW): [ATTACH] Bpmmz bogies (TSW): [ATTACH] Bpmmbdzf bogies (RL): [ATTACH]
Most IC services used a cab car. Most exceptions were EC trains, as they could be run with similar coaches from other countries, of which most...
I've just had a quick look: The two existing IC coaches are the Avmmz 106.1 and the Bpmmz 284.4 which are both modernized versions of the older...
Yes it seems odd that DTG would now deliver the Cab Car with a Loco, when they didn't do that back with the BR 101. But then the question is, with...
Except for the KISS all of these trains just entered service in the last five years. We currently have no route set in that time periode, so...
I've looked through the timetables for the BR 120 between 2018 and 2020 (which were the last years they were appointed to IC services and not only...
In Baden-Württemberg, where most IREs run, they were not replaced but augmented by the IC2. The IC2 has usually fewer stops and has a higher path...
Do we know to which route a possible BR 120 loco DLC would be paired to? No. Just because the screenshot shows SRM doesn't confirm it. The BR 120...
[ATTACH]
Well the 218 can be controlled from a cab car. If it's compatible with the IC cab, I don't know, but as the 218 is in development and the IC cab...
Out of all these options, I think it being a (payed) addon to the BR 101 seems to be the most realistic. Maybe they throw in 2-3 new coaches too,...
I mean with that picture we can only assume that we'll get the 380, but we can't really say if it's coming with a route or as a loco DLC. The 380...
