German Railroads are relasing (or have released already) a german BR 120 with some Eurofima coaches.
http://shop.german-railroads.eu/product ... anguage=en
According to their site, it has 11 scenarios, 9 for Hagen - Siegen and 2 for Seebergbahn. Looks nice...until one looks at the price tag...29.95€.... :o

Right, that's a no-buy for me.

EDIT: I hope that's not the future of the pricing of RW2 DLC... :(

IIRC German Railroads previous release, a freight pack, also had a hefty price tag, so it seems they've got form in this area as it were

Seems to be a nice model, mind... No idea how authentic it is, but it looks and sounds good :D

I agree the price is too much, i previously purchased all the GR addons for RS and it was reasonably priced but a 100% increase!! Not buying.

Hi,
It just needs someone to come in and challenge...

I'm sure no one here feels sly has a monopoly, he just gets on with it.

As Delboy would say.. He who dares...

If they are the same people doing the tram route, guess that will come in far higher again then. Sorry, next please...!

agreed, once there is another German developer, i'm pretty sure prices will go down

Given the quality of the previous DB-authored stock, that sort of price is certainly not justified. Perhaps if they fixed what they already released, it might make sense.

Crazy money! :o
Half that price would be more correct, but even if they dropped to €19.95 they would get a lot more customers.

Hi.. I was paying 9 euros for a beer in Munich a couple of weeks ago.. The price of the add on will seems reasonable to a German.. the current poor UK/Euro exchange rate is the problem..

Regards Andy
