    In both the English and German preview, as well as in Ambassador first look videos, I have noticed that, in order for the BR425 to layer in, you need the Bahnstrecke Bremen-Oldenburg. Why doesn't the Pfalzische Ludwigsbahn 425 layer in? After all, it's the superior 425. And the Haupstrecke Rein-Ruhr one could also layer in.

    This concerns me and others who don't own Bremen-Oldenburg (because let's face it, it's not the best route out there) but own the newer Pfalzische Ludwigsbahn Mannheim-Kaiserslautern (honestly it's a great route). It's kind of annoying because the 425 is one of the major layers for Regionalbahn/Regionalexpress services.

    No the 425 from HRR is too Old and don’t have working PIS outside there Main Route.
    You have no Destination on München Augsburg with this Train

    Makes sense, but what about the newer MKS 425?

    The Mannheim 425 wouldn't fit due to the S-Bahn Rhein-Neckar decals, which are out of place around Frankfurt. the Bremen 425 is a DB Regio branded one, which is more logical.

    The 425 has also Taufnamen or Decals from Niedersachsen on the Train

    It's not that large of a loss, really.

    Honestly that's annoying... they could provide a DB Regio livery for the newer 425. But whatever, I am not buying this route for Regio services anyway. Thanks
