    Since the launch of Train Sim World 2, we have been including codes on the roadmap for each route or loco mentioned. This system will continue in Train Sim World 3, however, given how much the collection has grown over the past 2 years - including new types of add-ons which were outside of the previous classification, as well as some codes which were incorrect - we have taken the time to sort through all the existing codes, and reclassify them to make more sense.

    Here's how it breaks down:

    The code takes the format of X.ABB-DC 00

    X is a new prefix to the codes and denotes the overall age/original release window of the product. As follows:
    • 1 - Train Sim World/Train Sim World 2020 Release
    • 2 - Train Sim World 2 Release
    • 3 - Train Sim World 3 Release
    A is the region in which the route, loco or train is based. We've covered:
    • C - Switzerland
    • D - Germany
    • F - France
    • G - Great Britain
    • N - North America
    • X - Global
    BB are the traction types employed. Frequently there will only be one traction type in use, in which case we repeat the letter, however this allows for multiple traction variants:
    • A - Steam (both low and high pressure)
    • B - Electric AC
    • C - Electric DC (including Battery)
    • D - Diesel Electric
    • E - Electro-Diesel
    • F - Diesel Mechanical
    • G - Diesel Hydraulic (both Hydrostatic and Hydrokinetic)
    • H - Diesel Steam
    • J - Diesel Pneumatic
    • K - Electric Multi-Current
    • L - Gas Turbine-Electric
    • M - Maglev
    • N - Atomic-Electric (including nuclear fission or fusion based)
    • P - Jet Turbine-Electric (including Turbojet Turbine)
    • Q - Fuel-Cell-Electric (Hydro-Electrolysis)
    • R - Hydrogen-Electric (Hydro-Combustion)
    • S - Hybrid-Electric
    • T - For odd types such as Petrol and Kerosene
    C is quite straight forward - what type of add-on are we referring to:
    • L - Loco
    • R - Route
    • E - Enhancement/Expansion Package
    • W - Wagon/Coach
    D is the year the in which the add-on is set (not the years the route/loco was/is active, the specific year we used to set the release in):
    • 1 - 1825 to 1860
    • 2 - 1861 to 1885
    • 3 - 1886 to 1910
    • 4 - 1911 to 1950
    • 5 - 1951 to 1990
    • 6 -1991 to 2010
    • 7 - 2011 +
    The 00 is the unique number for that release if it duplicates another with the same settings above. In the case of 1.GDF-R5 01, that's Northern Trans-Pennine, 1.GDF-R5 02 is Tees Valley Line.

    The release window prefix is not counted towards duplication. For example, 3.DBB-R7 06 is - Schnellfahrstrecke Kassel-Würzburg, and while it is the first German Train Sim World 3 release, it is still classified taking in previous routes into account, such as 1.DBB-R7 01 (Main-Spessart Bahn).

    These codes will be associated with every route and loco that appear in Train Sim World 3 as a means of helping collectors understand at a glance which add-ons are closely related, and therefore likely to be cross-compatible.

    Lastly, as reclassification has taken place throughout the Train Sim World catalogue, please see the new codes for each existing add-on. These are the new codes from which future codes will be counted from:
