And then 3DZug have also just announced today they're doing a BR189...

Hmm, there is already a 189 on steam and do I really want to take a punt on 3DZugs version over a Vr one?

Yes, there's the one on Steam as a single loco, and then there's also the Aeorosoft version available with the Mosel Valley route.

There's going to be rather a crowd of them if vR is indeed making one, just like there's quite a crowd of BR143's and BR232's!

3Dzug are still looking for a partner for their BR189, so I would expect the VR one to be much further along, especially if they are publishing WIP pics. The VR one will be EL and is the first of the modern E-loks they intend to make. All of the currently available models have their limitations, so for a realistic drive the VR one will be my choice. Whether 3Dzug choose to continue or not is another matter, and until they actually produce a lok it is difficult to assess how it will compare with the VR one. Realistically there are only a very few potential partners for the scripting. It is unfortunate, but VR had already intimated that this lok and others would be coming.

Yeah, Vr is a no brainer really as far as I'm concerned too.

Noticed 3DZug are doing the Valero ICE too! There is also an update for RW/0381 Sleeper coaches too.

Next to VR and 3DZug, GBE have now also announced a BR 189. God knows why...

Competition means lower prices... or not?

Could be that GBE and 3Dzug are working together as both companies have the same origin. However their standards are very far apart, so I would have thought it unlikely, but you never know. Whilst 3dzug might be competition for VR with the right partner, I seriously doubt GBE would be. Competition is more likely to kill of further releases as the German market is even more of a niche market than the British/American one. More likely it is an attempt at a spoiler and if you look at the GBE 110 you will see why GBE are no real competition. A very long way from the EL standard.

Check out the thread on Railsim Holzroller. The possibility of 3DZug and GBE working together has allreay been excluded. Clearly different models. I also may add that the GBE 189 is going to be freeware. What makes the whole thing even more obscure.
