    It almost seems as if Train Sim World has a new multi-route Easter Egg, just like the Donkeys found on many Routes.

    I've found this old Gentleman on two Routes so far: once hidden behind a House on the Mittenwaldbahn and today on the Frankfurt S-Bahn in the Rüsselsheim Station.

    Have any of you met this Gentleman on other Routes?

    Zwolle Groningen has him too. I think the first time I saw him was on Mittenwaldbahn

    Might be a hint at a new backdated German route. Looks a bit like former German Chancellor Willy Brandt, who was in power between 1969 and 1974. So maybe TSG is about to tackle late DB steam?

    In this context, I recall the hints at a Baden-Württemberg route on Mittenwaldbahn and a Class 50 on Niddertalbahn.

    No idea why the guy shows up in The Netherlands as well, though.

    I think they were first introduced with Spirit of Steam or Peak Forest Railway.

    People do tend to see what they want.
    I see just a random old NPC repeated over and over as a reused asset.

    If you ask me, an old Man is something very special in a Game where all NPCs seem to be between 30 and 40. :D

    No kids, baby strollers or morbidly obese people or disabled people or backpackers either. =-)

    But I don't see him as a movable NPC. More like the placeable "MOW" work crews.

    I like the people staring up into the sky. Never anything interesting there to see, and shouldn't the joker walk away once they've got everyone else standing and staring up at nothing? :D

    "Dirty old men hiding in bushes" is an interesting Easter Egg. :D

    It’s just portraying a TSW player waiting for fixes and better optimization.

    Really? I first met him on Mittenwaldbahn, where he almost scared me to death.
