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...

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...
But now I'm wondering: How will the cab car be released? I doubt it will come with another InterCity loco, like the BR 120, so is it going to be...
Woah, an IC cab car? Now that's something to be excited about.
Not really. The InterRegio was only operated between 1988 and 2006. The InterCity existed since the early 70s. There were speical IR coaches which...
Great suggestion. I would love to see some nordic routes in TSW. Seems to be a very good route for the length limit which sadly is too short for...
I've looked through the video an compared the loco with other austrian electric locos, which non really seems to fit. But the high third light...
The Traxx 2 family of trains is the locomotive with the widest distribution in TSW. The BR 146 and BR 185 variants can be found on every German...
Yes the screenshot with the TfL Logo should be an ICE1. It has the oval windows of older ICE rolling stock and the roof seems to smooth for an...
I can't really decide, if these leaks are genuine or rather a red herring by DTG. The ICE shown in the video is most probably an ICE 4. It has a...
Hi y'all, I wanted to share some information about way speeds for freight trains are regulated in Germany. Most of the details are applicable for...
Technically yes, financially? Kassel-Würzburg has the advantage that the route has many long tunnels, which are easy and fast to build....
Hannover-Berlin is over 250km long, which is way too long for a single route. Also, the Berliner Stadtbahn, which would be a must for this route,...
The 116 is part of the Ex-Metropolitan coaches. These are completely different from the classic IC coaches so you couldn't use the cab car with...
Yes, the license has to be acquired from the Eurostar Group. So if DTG can get a license from Eurostar the chances are pretty high, they're...
With the announcement of TSW4, Dovetail has again received a fair share of criticism, due to TSW3 only being one year old. And whilst the...
This wall of text is hard to read and do you expect us Non-Americans to know all these locomotives? To me, these are mostly just random letters...

What do you mean by "security issues"? The stations are not inside the secure area of the airport and the tunnels and stations are well documented...
They won't. The higher the price the more unlikly it is that people will buy it. At the moment they're in a sweetspot, where they can make long...
Route length doesn't reflect the amount of work necessary for building a route. Kassel-Würzburg is such a long route, because major parts of the...

This is quite an interesting route but your suggestion has two big problems. 1. I would suggest terminating the route in Flensburg. Both Flensburg...
This would be a lovely route in TSW if the scenery is built properly (not like the Arosa Line). Whilst the Murgtalbahn itself is already 60km long...
