Experience a unique German route – gone are the overhead wires seen throughout the dozen previous German Train Sim World routes and in comes diesel traction, a single-track line and passing loops, ensuring a style of gameplay very different to that of high speed and dense, urban commuter operations.
Set in the early 1990s, Niddertalbahn: Bad Vilbel – Stockheim brings the much requested DB BR 628.2 to Train Sim World in its white and mint livery. The rumble of its diesel power will go through 14 stations on a complete branch line, with most services operating from end-to-end.
Keeping this DMU company are the sugar beet trains hauled by the BR 365 shunter, on duty as a main line freight locomotive on this route. Using ES50 wagons, also new to Train Sim World, this locomotive hauls some of the last sugar beet trains before they ceased on the line just after the start of the 1990s.
Whether you’re into passenger or freight, the style of operation along the Nidder Valley is unique among German Train Sim World content. Punctuality is key to ensure that trains can cross in the passing loops on what is otherwise a single-track line (players of the West Somerset Railway route will know exactly what this is like)!
Services are a mix of end-to-end passenger workings and freight trains that are held in order for them to keep to time, with some passenger services working part of the line in the evening. Players will see a high level of detail throughout a condensed, rural branch line, with plentiful greenery and period stations, named and styled to reflect their condition in 1992.
