    Moin!

    I would like to introduce an expansion pack, which would give much gameplay for little effort:
    A TGV Expansion pack containing the TGV Thalys PBKA, TGV POS and the TGV Euroduplex would fill the missing gaps for i.e Köln-Aachen and Mannheim-Kaiserslautern, with possible layers for Duisburg-Bochum, Marseille-Avignon and also the upcoming Köln-Düsseldorf route!

    The 2N2 Duplex is better than nothing for Mannheim-Kaiserslautern and Köln-Aachen, but the lack of PZB and LZB makes the drive boring and also makes it possible to pass red signals while driving at 250 km/h without noticing red signals through the LZB until it's too late...

    Since these trains have almost identical exteriors as well as driving cabins, it isn't hard at all to bring them into TSW - the only really new construction would be the intermediate cars for the PBKA and the POS!

    BR 409 Thalys PBKA

    17 trains built for the joint venture between SNCF, SNCB, NS and DB with a top speed of, 300 km/h, a power output of up to 8800 kW and these trains are capable four different voltages.
    The main route would be operating Thalys-trains between Köln and Aachen, with a possibility of also operating between Essen and Duisburg, as well as Düsseldorf and Köln in the future.

    TGV POS

    38 tricurrent trains with a top speed of 320 km/h and a power rating of up to 9280 kW.
    The obvious layer would be Mannheim-Kaiserslautern, AI layers at Frankfurt-Fulda as well as a layer at Marseille-Avignon.

    TGV Euroduplex
    upload_2025-3-8_14-52-29.jpeg

    122 quadricurrent trains with a top speed of 320 km/h and a power rating of up to 9280 kW.
    This train replaced the TGV POS in Germany, therefore having the exact same layers.

    Great suggestion. I hope we see that in the future.
