    Hello everyone. Here I present my suggestion. Since Spain has the largest high-speed rail network in Europe, I think it should be in this game. As for the landscape, Spain has a great natural diversity that can be interesting.
    On railway lines, Spain has lines that can legally travel at 350 km/h. I leave the route and stations present to DTG's choice, but a good area would be the Mediterranean given the proximity of important cities since I would like it to be a route with several well-distributed stations and not like the 3 of Marseille-Avignon.

    The operator involved is Spain, well obviously I will put Renfe.
    The trains that I will put will be the following:
    AVE series 112 (Manufacturer: Talgo): (This is the key train, since the s103 is like the German ICE and the s100 is like the French TGV, the 112 is the only one different)
    This is the most famous high-speed train in Spain, nicknamed "El Pato". It is a fully electric train that reaches speeds of 350 km/h.

    ALVIA series 130 (Manufacturer: Talgo) :

    It is the fastest train in the fleet without being the AVE. It is a quite special train, its speeds are lower (250km/h-300km/h) but it has 2 characteristics that make it unique:
    1- The train has Talgo's own track gauge regulation system, that is, while it is in motion it can change between AVE tracks (European gauge) and Iberian gauge tracks (wider), conventional AVE tracks do not have This function.
    2- As you can see in the 2nd car, this train can go both by electric track (with catenary) and by track without catenary since it is hybrid. You can use your higher powered electric motor or a single diesel engine.

    (The last train is no longer ``so necessary'' but I put it here because it is interesting in more common terms) ALVIA series 120 (Manufacturer: CAF) :

    This is the most common train between medium-distance trips and nearby cities. It is a more normal passenger train although it maintains almost the same speed as the previous ALVIA (200km/h-250km/h). In this case, this train is also completely electric.

    Conclusion:
    Commercially I think it can be a DLC with a decent demand since the Spanish trains are also attractive. And although a part of the community is interested in more routes with conventional low-speed trains, there is another part of the community that enjoys the high-speed lines and cannot forget them.

    I hope one day this little dream comes true :)

    You should copy and paste all the text into a translator and edit your post so we know what you are talking about

    Hi, I wrote it in English, I don't know why it was put in my native language. I have changed it again.

    I have a friend from Spain who I think would really really love if this became a DLC

    Honestly, this'd be a pretty cool new country to the TSW Roster. Great suggestion!
