    Since the beginning of all days the images for the following routes are missing in QD and Standard.
    Berlin-Wittenberg
    London Faversham High Speed
    Hamburg nach Hanover

    Is there any chance that these will ever be added?

    These routes are still in the state they were released - at this time the RailWorks menu was text-only.

    You can easily create your own images.

    Make a screenshot, scale it down to 512x288 (best for 4K) or 256x144 (looks best on HD) and save it as "image.png" (non-interlaced). Put this into the "RouteInformation" subfolder of the route's folder.

    You can also use 512x288 for HD, but the downscaling makes it look a bit too crispy for my taste (on HD the actual size of the image display box is 256x144)

    Hamburg - Hanover

    I've already done that, unfortunately I haven't found any 4K footage. That's why the pictures look blurry.

    It would be best if DTG fixes this, the developers must notice this when scrolling through the QD menu?

    It would be, but they don't. No big deal.

    And what do you mean with "footage"? Just play the game and take a screenshot you like.

    Wanted to create it like the original orginal image.
    But unfortunately did not have 4K material found.
    Therefore, the image is also somewhat blurred, see photo!

    Again, take a screenhot, scale it down to 256x144 with your preferred image processor (I'm using paint.net) and save it as image.png. It won't be blurred.

    If you want it to appear as sharp as Mitten durch Berlin, save it as 512x288.

    Yes and you already have the original images from the developers, but you need to convert them.

    The Berlin-Wittenberg route was sold in the Train Simulator 2013 Retail edition by Aerosoft.
    The Hamburg-Hanover and London-Faversham routes were sold in the Train Simulator 2014 edition on Steam.

    In Train Simulator 2013 and 2014 the images of the routes already appeared, they were loaded differently, from Train Simulator 2015 it is the method used until today.

    Many DLC's still have images in the old format (TS2013 / TS2014), however it is easy to convert to the current one.

    You are really great can you upload these 3 pictures or tell me where I can find them.
    That's exactly what I need!

    Just right click on the images in wellingtons post and save them. Don't forget to rename them 'image.png'.

    Where would these images be hidden? It's not the (unused, replaced by Screenshot Contest & ads .swf) Route loading TgPcDx files, e.g. HH has a black text only image, Faversham a real photo.

    Are you sure these images are "official"?
