    Dear Dovetail Games and the TSW Community,
    I would like to suggest a truly unique and picturesque German route that offers a perfect alternative to high-speed lines: The line from Paderborn to Kreiensen via Ottbergen, including the Senne-Bahn (Paderborn – Bielefeld).

    Why this route belongs in Train Sim World:

    The Crown Jewel: The Altenbeken Viaduct
    Crossing this massive stone structure is a dream for every railfan.
    Here is a picture of the impressive viaduct: https://maps.app.goo.gl/WAVCjgXA73USwFaeA
    It is the largest stone railway bridge in Europe and offers a breathtaking view over the valley. It would be a visual highlight of the entire game.

    Unique Operational Gameplay: The "Ottbergen Winging"
    In Ottbergen station, trains coming from Paderborn are frequently split (coupled/decoupled). One part continues to Holzminden/Kreiensen, while the other goes towards Göttingen. This provides engaging, interactive scenarios!

    Scenic Highlights: Höxter Rathaus:
    One of the most beautiful stops is "Höxter Rathaus," located directly on the banks of the Weser river. Stopping here with a view of the water and the historic old town would provide an incredible atmosphere.

    The Perfect Rolling Stock: NordWestBahn (NWB)
    This route is the perfect home for the LINT 41 or LINT 54/81 in the blue and yellow NordWestBahn livery. It’s a refreshing change from the usual DB Red.

    Diverse Landscapes:
    From the urban hubs to the dense forests and steep climbs of the Eggegebirge, this route requires skillful manual driving (PZB).

    Let's bring the Weserbergland and the iconic Viaduct to TSW!

    Best regards,
