Ts20: Tremendous Tirano

Hot on the heels of their picturesque Surselva Line, Rivet Games will soon be bringing their next route to Train Simulator, the scenic section of the Bernina Line down to Tirano!

Shame it's not the full route.
Depart San Moritz drive over Bernina Pass to Poschiavo
Quit Scenario - start up new Scenario on this route and drive Poschiavo to Tirano

Maybe somebody might combine them on the workshop

All it says Peter is that you do not need the other routes to run it, I suspect they will have joined it though as Alan Thomson is onboard with Rivet and one would presume that all his other works are too.

The map only shows Poschiavo to Tirano

If it did run thru then it would mention that you could run from St Moritz

Under the map it states:

Note, the Bernina Line: Poschiavo to Tirano route will be a standalone route that doesn’t require Thomson’s original Bernina Pass.

I imagine it'd be possible to merge the routes though, it'd make sense to use the same origin.

I'm looking forward to this route, as the freeware Bernina route, which covers the whole stretch between St. Moritz and Tirano, really shows its age, especially in its lack of superelevated curves. I have to drive between 5 and 10 km/h below the speed limit at all times in order to avoid derailing. For a route that is laid out almost entirely on curved track, you can imagine this gets frustrating after a while.

On that note, commenters in the Sulselva route thread mentioned that there was a downgrade in quality of the superelevated curves between the Thomson addons and Rivet Games' release. What are others' thoughts on this?

I'm hoping for an eventual merged payware Bernina line, but it's not the end of the world if I have to exit a session at Poschiavo to switch between the payware Bernina routes. From having ridden the Berninabahn in real life, I know there can be a dramatic change in the weather between the northern and southern halves of the route, so it's an opportunity to change up the weather pattern.

I hope that they can and will. At 20km, this would have to be the shortest route on sale (except for the novelty ones and the preserved lines). Last time, Thomsons themselves did a workshop merge of the Albula and Bernina routes, so that bodes well, particularly as Alan is part of Rivet.

It is mentioned on the DTG Forums page it is designed to be merged so you can run through

Scenarios would need to be created separately
