    Today I quickly present a new train that'd be nice to see in TSW.

    Škoda brought a new DB Regio unit on the rails, which is one, the uhh like a Toaster looking locomotive

    and two, the beautiful doppeldecker cars. here the end car, it looks absolutely beautiful

    iirc it serves for the Munich-Nuremberg Express, where I believe it would be a great addition to either Munich-Augsburg along with a new timetable (which could also then bring the 420 in the S-Bahn lines) or a completely new route.
    oh and it has a top speed of 200 km/h. awesome

    A quick note:
    They only go up to 190 km/h. I don´t get it why DB (or Skoda idk) let them run 200 km/h...

    Sorry, I researched it. They run 200 km/h. My fault. It may be possible that they drove 190 km/h when they where new

    No, they are capable of 200, but only run 190. It's due to TSI-guidelines. Trains that go faster than 190 (or 189, not sure) are classified as high speed trains. DB didn't want it to be classified as such, so it won't go faster.
    You can have a look here: https://www.eba.bund.de/DE/RechtRegelwerk/TSI/tsi_node.html

    Bring it on to the game furthermore it needs a dedicated route which meant Schnellfahrstrecke Nürnberg München being made. On other German routes like Wunderline Bremen Oldenburg Groningen DB Baureihe 110.3. Followed by146.2 DR Baureihe 243/212 Vogelfluglinie Bahnstrecke Hamburg Lübeck Puttgarden Nahverkehr Dresden Bahnstrecke Hof Gutenfürst Werdau Chemnitz Dresden Tharandter Rampe Nahverkehr Dresden Rhein Ruhr Osten München Augsburg Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen and lastly Hollandstrecke Duisburg Bochum Arnhem which is the expanded form of HRR
