Hello, during all the complaining here at the moment (I am also upset about how bad TSW runs on Xbox sometimes) I want to say "Thank You" to TSG for bringing the 101 Expert and the 218 to TSW! I had less to do with trains in the past, but those Addons really woke my interest and deeper understanding about Locomotives! I bought a model of the 101 (PIKO 101 Expert) for standing in my cupboard. I can really recommend this model for all 101-fans, cause it's not as expensive as other Train Models: https://www.piko.de/DE/index.php/de.../1753-h0-expert-e-lok-br-101-db-ag-51100.html There is a book available about the 101: https://www.amazon.de/Baureihe-101-wichtigsten-Loks-technischen/dp/3862451887 It's very well written and goes into every Detail! It's very technically written and sometimes difficult to understand, even for a native German speaking person I live in South of Germany and luckily the 101 stops here twice a day: IC 2083 (Hamburg-Altona - Berchtesgaden Hbf) IC 2082 (Berchtesgaden Hbf - Hamburg-Altona) Sometimes the München-Nürnberg Express is driven with an old Intercity and the Cab Car is in front! The IRE 200 from Ulm to Wendlingen uses old Intercity Cars and is in a Vectron Sandwich. Very interesting! And I am also very thankful (or a bit more) for the 218! As I said I was never really interested in trains until starting with TSW, but the 218 really blew my mind since I was a teenager. Sometimes I waited at the station just for hearing the Sound of the 218, even if I missed my S-Bahn. It was a small dream to get it in TSW and I remember that I asked for it in the forum and "Felix der Weise" mentioned this post in a video on YouTube. When I saw that the 218 comes to TSW, I really couldn't believe it! I stayed up until late night, cause I wanted this thing immediately when it was available for download in the Microsoft Store. We also have/had some services from the Südostbayernbahn with a 218 here but it is nearly completely replaced by the BR245. Not as impressive as the 218, but I am happy to still see some Locomotives and a Passenger train! As lot of services here are now operated with a Stadler or a Twindexx, it's getting a bit boring now!^^ Don't get me wrong, I took a DB Twindexx to Landshut last week and it was very quiet and comfortable and it accelerated very fast! But as a modern sports car, it's just boring and made for everyone. Sorry for the long text! I just wanted to say this and I am hoping for more (Expert) Locomotives in the future from TSG, perhaps an ICE 1 or a Traxx 245 Regards
