I was hoping today too.

What is the US loco being released today?

It was the NJT GP40PH-2B, see here - http://store.steampowered.com/app/325991/

Thanks Steve, I'm posting from my mobile so it wasn't very convenient for me to go back and forth between pages to copy paste the name of the loco... Some code which I can't remember either, sorry!

Oh great - thanks for the heads up!!

Looking at the list of scenarios, it's clear that the scenario creator found his inspiration in the movie "Sound of Music"

(I know that many scenario names throughout the years have been derived from song titles, but here there's only 1 scenario which I can't directly link to a song from that movie!)

The price btw is quite reasonable - only €23.

Edit -
Bought, downloaded, short drive for first impressions.

While I cannot judge the accuracy or the technical aspects such as signalling, the looks are most certainly very good!

I can confirm that Austrian trains no longer have first class carriages
(Or rather, that this pack only contains Bmz coaches, no Amz).

And It's only £19.99 so off to buy it now

I have just had a look at train services on the Route using the OBB timetable and ticket site,and both Rail-Jet and EC trains have 1st and 2nd class and a restaurant car as well,R trains are 2nd class only and no restaurant car

First few reports from the Gemran forums are, looks very good, vorsignals don't function prototypically, catenary not prototypical. Not a lot to worry the casual player, but maybe a little more annoying for those with a deeper interest or familiarity with the subject.

So far one user has reported performance issues with long freights and missing sound issues during part of a run. Some less positive comments about the landscaping, houses in the midle of bare meadows, other seem happy with the landscaping. By the way mike R trains don't use Bpmz coaches as far as I know. I think you would need the RSSSLO Talent for that, which in your circumstances might be a bit pricey. If you go back to the loco-hauled times then there are some nice coaches on Railworks Austria

Looking forward to playing it tonight.

Having just installed, I notice that when you go into your Profiles Menu the route is listed within the Locos tab instead of the expected Routes tab.

I thought the longer distance R trains did still use the Bpmz coaches or something like that?

Hi Holz
If I backdated it a bit would these coaches have been used on the route schlierenwagen,I have photo's of them at Miittenwald they were used on the Innsbruck Seefeld in Tyrol services usually hauled by 1144 locomotives but some times these would turn up 1020.
I've just realized it was 25 years ago when we went to Mittenwald,where on earth has the time gone.

Purchased the route this evening and spent around 90 minutes driving on it, very nice stunning route. Yes it is a short route however with the speeds it's a perfect length for me and plenty of things to look at! Very happy.

Peter, take a look at the thread on railsim de there are a few posts about traffic on the route. My reading of it is that long distance IC/EC trains are loco hauled, locals are now Talents. Personally I was shocked at how long it is since the Taurus took over the route. Mike you would probably be good with them until around the turn of the century when the loks changed but they may have gone a little earlier, but tbh what you run is in the long run up to you. Yes time flies, seems only yesterday the BR101's and 152's were being introduced. Two deacdes ago now I remember the production HST's being introduced as well when i was at school. Don't want to think how long ago that was. Even remember a Green class 27 shunting on the midland mainline, a very early memory.

I'd enjoy it if I didn't keep getting a TDR (Timeout Detection & Recovery)!!!!
