    Well, even so, I'd be very surprised if steam were launched with a whimper rather than a bang.

    Nah the first thing will be the Stephenson's Rocket, running Liverpool to Manchester in 1832.

    Actually it was 1830 when it opened and then the Rocket was pulling just Ballast really as more powerful steam Engines had been made like the Arrow and Northumbrian, which old big nose ran on. Rocket on the opening day killed a MP from Liverpool as well.

    I wonder if they do a heritage route to make modelling easier and scenery but add a rail tour or other layer into some of the other high speed routes so you can open up the locomotive a bit more and get a taste of both worlds so to speak?

    There will be steam on heritage railways like wsr, but for releasing a new experience like this, i can only immagine a route set in its actual time periode, which means pre 1968 combined with diesel or even earlier.

    Many people are waiting for steam, so why put the initial release in a modern time periode? This wouldnt make sense to me.

    Well on the new route Dresden to Chemnitz just before Chemnitz is the Saxon Railway Museum.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxon_Railway_Museum?wprov=sfla1

    And they run regular special trips with a DRB class 50 steam loco. So I think if this is modeled in the route then we will get a DRB Class 50 as a loco DLC.

    So yeah probably not the first Steam product but it could be a loco DLC in the future. I believe like someone said earlier in the thread that they will want to release to a bigger splash than just a loco add on.

    Any one else realize that they added "First Steam Release" to the roadmap. For Dovetail: what is the first route? I am asking as you have added is to the roadmap, but not the name.

    Sam mentioned on a last week stream that they made progress with the steam core tech.

    Its now on the roadmap yes, but they are not at the point to announce a route or loco.

    Well the way they worded the article made it look closer to being announced than I thought because they said something about making a song and dance over the release as its their first steam route!
    But remains to be seen!

    I'll certainly be in TSW2 a lot more when there is steam locomotion.

    Slight bit of speculation, but Sam just dropped this in another thread. Doesn‘t rule out a heritage line, but hints at a proper steam route to my mind.
