See more of our first fully Austrian route Add-on tonight with the Railfan TV Team. Semmeringbahn: Wiener Neustadt - Mürzzuschlag is coming 18th April! 10% Pre-order discount on Steam! Semmeringbahn is the first fully Austrian route Add-on to come to Train Sim World, with two distinct sections offering different forms of operation: A gentle, winding ride through steep passes and up challenging gradients, ending with a rapid dash to the finish along the straight ‘racetrack’ section heading through to Wiener Neustadt. You can read some more detail about the geography of the route and the timetabled services in our Announce Article. NEW Locomotive: ÖBB 1116 ‘Taurus’ Though the ‘Taurus’ has been seen in Train Sim World before, this variant run by ÖBB has a number of features that differentiate it from its other EuroSprinter relatives. The cab alone had a more modern layout, with the centre dials and information displayed on a screen, rather than the dials seen on the DB BR 182. This is flanked by a single screen on the right-hand side of the cab, as opposed to the dual screens seen in other locomotives. Operationally the differences are subtle but important. The DB BR 182, for example, applies sanding automatically, whereas this is a manual process in the ÖBB 1116. Rolling Stock and Formation Designer (beta): ÖBB Bmz Coaches, Habbiins, Sggmrss and Shimmns wagons Included in the release are the ÖBB Bmz Coaches, which are similar (but not exactly the same) as the DB IC Coaches seen in German route Add-ons. Freight services will consist of the Habbiins, Sggmrss and Shimmns wagons. Today’s Core Update brings the Formation Designer (beta) feature to consoles! This means players on Xbox and PlayStation can begin to experiment with consists and formations using the rolling stock in their collection. PC players have had this since ability the previous Winter Update. Read more about the Train Sim World Core Update. With four different types of stock to haul in Semmeringbahn, this route provides an ideal starting point for curating your own trains! Also Included: ÖBB 4024 Talent 1 EMU The ÖBB 4024 appears as an included train in Semmeringbahn for services running local trains mainly between Wiener Neustadt Hbf and Payerbach-Reichenau. Those who might not be familiar with the 1116 might instead wish to run these services to get to grips with the route using traction they are comfortable with, whilst admiring the scenery along the way. The ÖBB 4024 Talent 1 EMU is included with Semmeringbahn: Wiener Neustadt - Mürzzuschlag. Players do not need to own S-Bahn Vorarlberg or Bahnstrecke Salzburg – Rosenheim to make use of this train. Today's Core Update mentioned earlier also includes some minor improvements and fixes for the ÖBB 4024, which you can read in the changelog. Readers of our April Roadmap will know that we’re working on implementing Suspension Updates and our latest test showcased this on the ÖBB 4024 Talent 1. We’d like to invite you all to share some initial feedback for the video shown, especially for those of you with experience riding the 4024! Please share your thoughts on our ÖBB 4024 Suspension feedback thread we’ve opened. Note: this feature is in development and will not be present in Semmeringbahn upon release. The Route: Wiener Neustadt - Mürzzuschlag Our First Look at Semmeringbahn also dropped with the April Roadmap, showing the ÖBB 1116 and 4024 in action through some of densely wooded and mountainous rural countryside, as well as the busy stations the occupy each end of the route. The stunning backdrop and scenery is perhaps best seen from the summit of the route at Semmering with the station the perfect place to admire the Austrian landscape from. Plenty of tunnels and viaducts go by on the journey there, with the most notable: the multi-layered Kalte Rinne aqueduct, seen between Wolfsbergkogel and Breitenstein. Throughout the route there’ll be the usual host of collectibles to hunt down like route maps and first aid points, as well as the fallen branches to chop up as was seen in Salzburg – Rosenheim. There’ll also be 25 Hiker Backpacks hidden across the landscape to find! Services, Layers and Gameplay Our Announce Article detailed how the timetabled services are split between the ÖBB 1116 and 4024, as well as the list of layers required for mixed freight consists (which might also be useful with Formation Designer). Three playable rail tours can be operated using the following locomotives and IC coaches from Linke Rheinstrecke: DB BR 103 + IC coaches: Linke Rheinstrecke (AI = February to April) British Rail Class 47 + IC coaches: Blackpool Branches + Linke Rheinstrecke (AI = June to July) Railpool Vectron + IC coaches: Railpool BR 193 Vectron + Linke Rheinstrecke (AI = August – September) All three rail tours are seasonal, and so do not appear as AI in the timetable for most of the in-game year. The Railpool BR 193 Vectron will also sub into ÖBB 1116 freight services, for players that own that locomotive. Players that own Bahnstrecke Salzburg – Rosenheim will also be able to operate four EC services that use the ÖBB 1116 electric locomotive and coaches on that route. These coaches will also be seen as static stock at Salzburg Hbf. The ÖBB 1116 will also sub into freight services on S-Bahn Vorarlberg. Also included are 5 Scenarios: Firewatch: A service is interrupted by a wildfire! Blizzard Bus: A rescue service put in place to pick up lost hikers in the mountains Milkshake: A freight service interrupted by a cow that takes ‘Free Roam’ a little too literally as well as a landslide! Snowed In: Double up a passenger service before heading to Semmering, help a train that’s got stuck and drive back down the mountain. I Need A Hero: Couple up to the back of a freight service and help push it up the mountain to Semmering, before uncoupling and heading back down.

I really like this route, is is super unique and has some nice features, especially the Taurus is very well done, but why didn't you include the 1st class wagons? Every dlc except for the N - Wagen have a first class wagon
Overall looks like a very good route, but as usual "time constraints" ended in only one version of the carriages, no proper livery for the Class 47 (telling people that someone will do one on CC is a poor excuse) and bugged station signs (known issue with no date for a fix).
But the question is why is the one screen on the right blocking some of the top soft buttons? Will this be corrected before release or is this going to be another Patch a few months after release? https://www.youtube.com/live/xkQJQaII_q8?si=HLBiyHHylm5a0gCA&t=2677 Train Sim World 4 -Blocked Screen- Semmeringbahn Preview_04-11-2024_01 ---- I did a bit of research for the RW 1116 and found 1016 also in a short video, I grabbed a couple of screenshots. These are the best RW images I could find that are remotely similar to what was/is shown 1116 -->> <<-- As I understand it and what was/is shown in the video is the one in the current DLC release. 1016-->> <<-- I understand this is not one in the current DLC release. ÖBB 1016/1116 Fahrtvorbereitung im Führerstand Taurus 1016 und 1116 :Google Translate: Preparation for the trip in the driver's cab Taurus 1016 and 1116
Watched driver eye views in real life of this and from what I saw is a really good interpretation of the route,and also a pretty good timetable to boot ,looking like a decent realese, thumbs up from me!!
It's a layer after all, not an official loco for the route so it wouldn't make sense for them to change each layer so it's appropriate. It's either you have extra traffic or you don't and players are still unhappy either way.
When I look at SGTDRE's post of the screen shots, it looks to me that that the eye line of the driver would cut off that top row of buttons on the screen.
Whoop! Can't wait! The "missing" Railjet/Cityjet sure is a great flaw, but this will become my #1 route in TSW in any case..
Or, in other words, layers are imported exactly as they are from their "home" routes. You can't change anything about them.
I'd accept it if I can force that livery on that specific loco on only that route. now if you download a livery it will be on any route and might show up if you are lucky.
I agree that the missing railjet services are a flaw seen as it's also set up to date,would have been a good addition to the realism,still looking to be a solid release going from the preview stream though
I pre-ordered, I can't wait to ride it tomorrow. This road is one of my favorites on tsc, we will have a few more km for this version!!
