    Dear TSW Community,

    I always wanted to create a timetable mod on my own and now I started with such a project.
    As the route feels a bit forgotten during the years I decided to make the route Ruhr-Sieg Nord (RSN) feel alive again. For this I went trough the real timetable between Finnentrop and Hagen Hbf on 08.07.2024. Based on the information I collected I will create a modern timetable for RSN being close to reality and e.g. bringing InterCity Services to the route.

    Due to the lack of realistic rolling stock for an accurate 2024 RSN timetable I needed to get creative in choosing trains for this project for now. According to this the following DLC's will probably layer into the timetable and are needed for an experience closest to reality:
    - Maintalbahn: BR 642 (HLB RE34)
    - Niddertalbahn: BR 628 (HLB RE34)
    - Schnellfahrstrecke Kassel-Würzburg: BR 442 (DB RE34)
    - BR101 Expert: BR 101 + Coaches + Cabcar (IC)
    - Bremen-Oldenburg: BR425 OR S-Bahn Zentralschweiz: RABe 523 (please read below)

    !!! For the Services RB91 and RE16 the RABe 523 from S-Bahn Zentralschweiz could be used with an Abellio Repaint. Sice this train comes as the Swiss version in TSW4 it isn't made to drive on German routes (No PZB, wrong cab interior, etc.). Alternatively my idea is to use the DB BR425 from Bremen-Oldenburg to operate those services. Please give me your opinion in the survey in this thread, thanks!


    Services:
    - VIA RB91 (Hagen-Siegen)
    - VIA RE16 (Hagen-Iserlohn / Essen-Iserlohn)
    - HLB RE34 (Letmathe-Siegen)
    - DB RE34 (Dortmund-Siegen)
    - DB IC2X2X/RE34 (Dortmund-Frankfurt(Main) / Münster-Frankfurt(Main))
    - DB Railtour 1990s IC
    - Freight (no plans yet, only passenger services planned for Version 1.0)

    Current project state: Concept

    I hope you are as excited as myself to make the very old RSN route feel alive again! :)

    Best regards

    Super excited for this timetable. Atleast have RaBe in Abellio repaint as AI or give option for 425 in selection
