So Now That Tsw4 Is Officially Over, What Were Your Highlights?

I was mostly satisfied with all DLCs I have purchased (tho I was a tiny bit disappointed when I found out that a lot of substitution services for 218 outside like 2-3 home routes are impossible to keep the timetable times at cos those are services it usually doesnt run IRL)... I loved Austrian content, tho I wish we also got some Vienna, but Wiener Neustadt isnt far from that so

 

Blackpool Branches blew everything else out of the water for me. I've never spent so much time on a single route since NTP and TVL.

Cathcart remaster and the class 380 were also great.

 

I bought nothing for TSW 4 besides BPO... basicly paused for a year. Now they have hit my sweet spot with basicly every route and loco announced for the coming months and I will be doomed to start hunting down a bunch of the past years DLC for layering. Goblin Line is definitly in the number 1 spot. Need the Aventra for the Watford DC Line. Shame they are not including it in the release... the tube train is included and Frankfurt-Fulda also gives you everything you need from the get go.

 

DB BR 218 has been the best DLC for me. I was looking forward to get “the” diesel locomotive of DB.

Routes, have been a bit disappointing, I only play German content and in TSW3 we got clearly better routes. BRO, NID, and LRS are by far my most played routes. In TSW 4 the route I play more is Maintalbahn, not great route but only place where I can play my favourite diesel locos.

For TSW 5 looking forward for Frankfurt and wishful thinking for a diesel route or an extension remaster of HBL or NID.

 

Salzburg-Rosenheim was the best route for me, great built.

Semmeringbahn unfortunately didn't became that much love. Only Bmz carriages, and the environment wasn't that well made. Also the route choice wasn't the best as there are more interesting routes in Austria concerning the traffic.

I liked Vorarlberg. It was a good start, but it had much more potential. Appropriate rollingstock for REX and RJ services would have result in much more exciting traffic. Ending the branch line in Lustenau instead of St.Margrethen was also disappointing.

I wish the routes get more branch lines in the future.
