hello evrybody,i'm new to the forum so don't expect an high quality post but i'll do my best. i was thinking, since lately we recived only german/british/american routes, what about expanding the list of nations rappresented? and what a better nation to start expanding if not Italy! the full line runs from Milano Centrale and Milano Porta Garibaldi to Torino Lingotto and Torino Porta Susa; it has a top speed of around 300 km/h, it's 127 km long and it has 12 stations; the line runs on etcs level 2; the type of services are: Frecciarossa/Italo: those are the fastes services; the Frecciarossa services could be run by the ETR 1000 the Italo services could be runned by the ETR 675 intercity: this type of service takes a bit longer and could be runned by the E402b and the Z1A cab car fast regional services: those are the most frequent type of services, they stop at all stations, they're contained on this line so you would finish you're service one terminal station and get on board the other cab. those type of services could be operated by the ETR 104 freight services: they usually run at night and are oparetd both by DB,MRCE, and Mercitalia; all the freight DB and MRCE locos that are in game usually run on this line, on the Mercitalia side the E402b could run freight services and to add even more variety the E656 could be added. TGV: there are also TGV services running from Torino Lingotto all the way up to Milano Porta Garibaldi. i hope that the devs will respond to my post and add (preferably soon) this line and other italian lines in to the game, i saw on reddit that the community is now more intrested in adding more nations and variety than having more british/american/german content; italian routes usually have beutiful scenery and rolling stock, plus the italian market revolving around trains is very big so there will probably be a big chunk of the community intrested in to buying this add-on.
I'm sorry but i have to contradict you about some trains. You are right the ETR 400 (Frecciarossa 1000) and AGV 575 and 675 (Italo) run long the route but on high speed route and not the historical route. So the stations would be: Milano Centrale or Milano Porta Garibaldi (for few Frecciarossa), Torino Porta susa and Torino Porta Nuova. Torino Lingotto doesn't belong to these services. The ETR 103 and 104 (POP) don't run on this route. The regional trains (local and fat) are formed by MDVC coaches, with locomotive e464. and car UIC-X The fast regional trains stop at 7 stations between Milano Centrale and Torino Porta Nuova, 7 between Milano Porta Garibaldi and Torino Lingotto. There aren't local trains that stop at all station without changes of trains. In the future these regional trains are going to be replaced by new generation of trains, ETR 521 and 621. The TGV runs from Paris to Milano Porta Garibaldi but it stops at Torino Porta Susa instead Torino Lingotto.
For the Freight locomotive Only E402B can run it because its 1.45m Copper Strip is meant for 3kv & 25kv 50hz Italian wires. Traxx needs to be in the AC/DC-capable configurations which are designated in Italy as E494 DB BR187 based and E483 185.2 185.5 & 185.6 based Lastly the 182 in the E190 configuration
I knew i made some wrrors because i reshed the post a bit, so thank you for correcting me. I know that the ETR 103/104 don't run on this router, but asking the E464, the MDVC and the UIC-X night be asking a bit too Much. If this router will ever come to TSW 3 i'd love ti see It as the Riesa-Dresden line, i don't think It's that difficoult because the high speed line is mostly tunnels.
As i said on the other reply, seeing both the fast and the historic line would preserv most of the rolling stock that i presented on my post. Thank you for adding the Mercitalia versione of some freight DB locos that we have in game; i rushed the post so i forgot to add the photos
I think there are two short tunnel and ine long when you approach to torino porta susa because the station is below the ground
Spot on and for the E190 the pantograph configuration is the following 1.95m Metalized Carbon strip former Czechoslovakia Poland 3kv & 25kv 50hz AC DB ÖBB 15kv 16.7hz. For Italy 25kv AC 3kv DC and Switzerland 15kv 16.7hz AC 1.45m Copper Strip. Seen in the picture
