The route is 105 miles (170 Kms) and are you planning to include the base tunnel or not? Third-party developer that has an experience in making this is Rivet games because they made Erstfeld Bellinzona for Train Sim 21 which is part of this route
I am planing to include the Gotthard-Basetunnel. That's why i wrote V/max: 250 km/h . And the Treno Gottardo will take the old line of the route. IC 21,EC and Cargo goes through the Basetunnel.
Ok then and for another 250 km/h 155 mph Capable Train why not the RABe 503. For the old route heavy freight is a double formation Re474/484s
I actually don't want to pay 30 Euros to run trains through an endlessly long tunnel. Same issue with the Channel tunnel. I don't see the point why such lenghty tunnels are attractive for a simulator.
The ETR 610 or well known as RABe 503 SBB Astoro no longer runs on the Gotthard route, they have been replaced by SBB Giruno. Re 474/484s would be fine for the old line.
Thank you for telling me but they are used for Frankfurt Am Main Hbf Milano Centrale via Gotthard Base Tunnel service since 2017. The problem is this if the RABe 501 Giruno has to operate to Frankfurt Am Main Hbf-Milano Centrale via Karlsruhe and Gotthard Base Tunnel can only operate to Basel SBB due to the RABe 501 Giruno lacking PZB LZB Sifa 15kv 16.7hz 1.95m pantographs for Germany and Austria. On the Other Hand Re 474 ES64F4 and Re 484 Traxx will need to do Banking locomotive services at Erstfeld towards Milan and Chiasso southbound Services via the old tunnel being detached at Bellinzona. Bellinzona for Northbound services to Zürich and Basel via Bözberg Bahn & Aargau Südbahn then banking locomotive is detached at Erstfeld.
