    The answer is the same regardless of to whom the question is addressed.

    Cheers

    1974 D(B)B adopts ivory/ocean blue scheme
    1987 DB adopts Orient Red for locos and "Produktfarben" for coaches
    1994: DB and DR merge to form DBAG

    What era was the dark green livery from?

    I like it on the 139s from pictures I've seen

    From DB's founding after the war until 1960 its default color was a very dark green, it then went to a somewhat less dark green that lasted until '74 (officially; in practice it take a long time to paint thousands of pieces of rolling stock). But you would also see dark blue on express trains and their locos (the 110s were originally dark blue); and diesel locos were dark red.

    The exceptions were the TEEs, which were in their iconic beige and red livery, and the Silberlinge (n-Wagen) which until the 90s were left in unpainted stainless steel, hence the name. Oh, and dining cars were bright red.

    I made a chart:

    Exceptional!
    I will drop my 35 euro for this route.
    I pay the high price, you make me smile again
    This road is absolutely magnificent, finally "real vegetation", finally neat work, it's short but so good and then 1 hour to do the entire route is more than adequate.
    I do not count in km but in game time.
    Thank you very much to this small team, this is what TSW3 should be
    I can't wait to see your next route.

    DTG you can go hide under the bed now.

    This is easily a day one buy. Looks simply superb. A great route to relax and unwind on after a stressful day at work!

    I do wish we'd get pre-order even without a discount, that way I can buy the day before and generally come home from work and it's installed waiting for me (or atleast well on its way to being installed)

    Same here, really surprised not on pre order. Searched Steam again last night and still all that’s shown is about 20 different versions of the Trainz route!
