    Hello TSW-Comunity!
    Today I want to suggest the DR BR 52.80 as the first German Steam Locomotive for TSW.

    General Information:
    The BR 52.80 is the from the DR (Deutsche Reichsbahn) modernized version of the war locomotive BR 52.
    It was originally built to meet the increased demand for locomotives caused by the war and was used for freight services. In the modernized version, the here suggested BR 52.80, it was used by the DR until the 1980s.
    The BR 52 was and still is one of the most popular and the most builded Steam Engine in Germany with many exemplars in preservation, so it would be a logical decision to choose this as the first german Steamengine in TSW, since it can be used for railtours all across the country.

    For more Information look at the Wikipedia pages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DR_Class_52.80 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRB_Class_52 (Here are the german ones: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DR-Baureihe_52.80,
