Albula line from DTG/Thomson

[Ajay1]

A definite must for me. Remember having the original freeware version installed a few years back (no longer) and traveling through the region on one of my European excursions via bus.

I'm kinda on the fence on buying now or later - love to hear any initial feedback!

Interesting that it has a freeroam

Why? It's a handy way of exploring a route and it's sidings.
Quick Drive is ok for a point A to point B run but does not help you see other moves.

I will give this route a miss for now.
There is one type of loco and one basic type of coach - when more become available I might get this route.

....There is one type of loco and one basic type of coach ....

Looking at the DTG site there seem to be two different coach types in the Glacier Express consist plus freight opportunities with a container flat with several different containers.

The cabview in this Loco seems to have transparant digits. You can see the track and the wall of the tunnels right through it , look at the screen shot of this cab

I wonder if the stock from the SimTrain.CH Heidi-Express with be interchangeable with the Albula Line. Personally I'm only interested in RhB simulation and current use a number of items from Simtrain for MSTS running on Open Rails. It's a great reminder of the many holidays I've spent in that area of Switzerland.

I said "one basic type of coach" which is available painted as a First or Second and a slightly different Restaurant coach but using the same design - like a BR Mk3.
"freight opportunities with a container flat with several different containers" One type of wagon with One Class of loco does not equal "freight opportunities"
It would be like buying a new DB route which has a DB 101, three types of coach and a container flat.

The TS2016 version would but at £42.20 - current exchange rate - it's a bit expensive.

OK, have it your way, I was only trying to give a more accurate idea of what's included than you did.

Except you didn't - you made it sound great - which it cannot be without other stock.
And I was pointing out the limitations of having one class of loco and the Glacier Express stock.
Run a scenario from St Moritz to Thusis and there should be an hourly train service in the opposite direction which is not the Glacier Express

When other stock becomes available it will be a great route.

Well it is a great route, very well implemented and a joy for this driver to drive! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... =756266632 Scenery is great and a challenge to drive.

[smarty2]

I loved the passenger scenario I would love to know how to make more of them?
