    I would like to see the Berlin U-Bahn U2 come to TSW2 set between 2018-2021.

    The U2 is a line on the Berlin U-Bahn. That starts at the Pankow urban rail (S-Bahn) station, runs through the eastern city centre (Alexanderplatz) to Potsdamer Platz, the western city centre (Wittenbergplatz, Zoologischer Garten) and finally to the Ruhleben terminal station.
    I chose this line because of its history, rolling stock diversity and beautiful elevated sections.

    The U2 has 29 stations and a length of 20.7 kilometres (12.9 miles). Together with the U1, U3, and U4 lines, it was part of the early Berlin metro network built before 1914. The route between Potsdamer Platz and Zoologischer Garten was the western section of the Stammstrecke, Berlin's first metro inaugurated in 1902.

    The rolling stock (in order of age)

    The BVG class G (1974-1989)
    [​IMG]
    The Class G is an electric multiple unit train type used on the Berlin U-Bahn. They were originally developed for the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe of East Berlin.
    Each set consists of two cars, only one of which has a driving cab. Thus, the smallest operable formation is a four-car train. Up to four two-car sets can be operated together.
    The trains are powered by one self-ventilated motor per bogie. Both axles are powered through two hollow-shaft gears.

    The BVG class A3L92 (1993–1995)
    [​IMG]
    The Class A3 is a train that is built after world war ll, on the smaller profile trains. Smallest operationally mobile unit is the double-rail car, which consists of a control car (S-car) with a straight carriage number and a compressor car (K-car) with an odd car number. Both vehicles are motorized and each equipped with a cab, the term "control car" refers to the local facilities for electrical control. The K-wagon contains the compressed air system, the converter system and the lighting equipment. The numbering was carried out by car 999/998 backwards, which 999/998 is the oldest A3 unit. Until the late 1970s, the K-car was reserved for non-smokers, in the S-car you were allowed to smoke.

    The BVG class HK (2005–2006)
    [​IMG]
    The Class HK is a type of electric multiple unit in service on the Berlin U-Bahn. It is operated by Berliner werkehrsbetriebe (BVG) (Berlin Transport Company).
    The HK is a Kleinprofil (small profile) variant of the larger Großprofil (large profile) H series. The main difference is that while a H-series set has walkway connections between all its carriages, the HK 4-car series only has two connections between the first and second, and third and fourth cars - each set can be divided into two 2-car trains.

    The BVG class IK (2014-2020)
    [​IMG]
    The Class IK is a type of electric multiple unit used on the Berlin U-Bahn. In August 2015, Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe AöR (BVG) put two IK underground vehicles into passenger service as prototypes on the Berlin small profile network (lines U1 to U4). Following a successful trial phase, further options were exercised. The cambered design of the carriage walls means that the four-part vehicles are 2.4 metres wide – 10 centimetres wider than the existing vehicles. The underground trains for Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe belong to the Tango range of city rail trains.

    The price for this DLC
    Considering that other packs with only 20+kilomiters cost $45, I would pay around $50 for this DLC considering the amount of rolling stock included.

    Excellent idea if you need to consider a late-night service it runs every 15 minutes. All of these trains can layer onto small profile Ines the Berlin version of MTA New York State IRT Lines if built
