    It's probably suggested before. But I would love to see a Thalys DLC. It could be used on three separate maps, Marseille- Avignon (summer service to Brussels and Amsterdam), Aachen Köln (Brussels to Köln) and even a small piece of track Essen to Duisburg (service to Paris) 2560px-Hoofddorp_Thalys_TGV-PBA_4534_trein_9340_Paris-Nord_-_Flickr_-_Rob_Dammers.jpg

    Small correction: The picture shows the Thalys PBA (Paris-Bruxelles-Amsterdam). The services to Germany are all run with Thalys PBKA (Paris-Bruxelles-Köln-Amsterdam). Otherwise good suggestion.

    yes I know, I would love to see both (especially because the PBKA has the same cab as the TGV)

    Well, the cab differs quite a bit, mostly caused by a large number of safety systems. If we get the TGV Résau a separate loco add-on with both Thalys classes would be a fair price for the modifications to both train sets.

    PS: Here you can see a part of a modernised Thalys PBKA cab:


    PPS: The PBKA (mod.) carries the following safety systems onboard:
    TVM, KVB, Memor, TBL 1, TBL 2, ATB-EG, PZB, LZB, ETCS

    Oh cool, I love those german safety systems, they're a lot of fun to use, and in my case screw up, but I'll learn

    I love the Thalys PBKA and PBA. It would make a nice add-on.

    Nice and now we got French trains using the PZB,LZB & Sifa the Thalys TGV PBKA. These power cars ars also found in the Frankfurt area as either TGV POS & TGV Euroduplex. I wonder if there's a switch to Isolate PZB LZB & Sifa on those trains? Provided if a player doesn't want to use PZB & LZB but has Sifa turned on

    Well the TGV POS doesn't normally run to Frankfurt anymore. But of course there would be an isolation switch for the german systems onboard otherwise you would be able to move the train at all if a system fails.
