This is a first for Train Sim World in that we have a study level loco in the game. This is the BR101 Expert loco developed by TSG and it releases on 8th August 2024. Let's take an early access first look as usual thanks to the DTG Ambassador programme.
Take on the ultimate challenge and step into a new level of simulation with an unparalleled, in-depth recreation of the DB BR 101 locomotive, coming 8th August courtesy of TSG!
Regular players of German Train Sim World content may already be familiar with the DB BR 101 locomotive, which released as an Add-on in 2021 for the Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr and has been layers / substituted into many German route Add-ons since then.
These large, powerful electric locomotives arrived on the German network in the late 1990s to replace older express passenger locomotives like the DB BR 103. Its unique design is well known across the country hauling InterCity services between many of Germany’s major cities and destinations.
For this release, TSG team have dialled up realism and accuracy to the maximum along with the challenge of operating this locomotive in very fine detail. The cab comes in two variants: MFD and MFA, and features fully operational interactive screens to control and alter a myriad of options and settings for different aspects of operation. All of the screens and subscreens display information as they would in reality.
Additional tasks that the player can undertake go well beyond those available in a standard Train Sim World locomotive. These include:
An extensive fault simulation, with fault clearing required in order to keep the train moving.
Realistic door operation with TB0 and SSTF door control systems
Real train data input (PZB / LZB Data entry)
GSM-R simulation, down to individual cell towers
A Machine Room (Engine Room) modelled which players can enter
The Machine Room includes all breakers and valves that players can interact with and is important for both start-up procedures and fault finding, so you may find yourself spending quite a bit of time here preparing and maintaining the locomotive in operation!
The fault-finding aspect to this release is unique among Train Sim World content. Quite often, faults are included in pre-prepared Scenarios, where players are required to act around them, using a set of instructions in game.
A series of Scenarios and Tutorials will be able to guide the player through the fault-finding process, which includes having to read and use the interactive fault-finding screens, that correctly display the faulty component. This can range from traction motors failing, to PZB failures or even a cascade of failures if certain systems start to blow out others.
A Manual will also be provided to assist players with this process and certain elements will require reading before embarking on services.
In addition to the work done to make the locomotive super realistic to operate, many other improvements have been made over the initial BR 101 release. These include:
Sound improvements, utilising new sound recordings and upgrading older capture
Newly refined physics
The DB BR 101 ‘Expert’ comes in two liveries for this release:
DB Red
DB IC
For players wanting a more casual driving experience, an accessible driving mode will be available in the main menu setting, which reverts functionality to a level typical of other Train Sim World locomotives and enables players to experience the improvements made to this locomotive without hitting the higher difficulty level.
Players that just want to experience the IC Steuerwagen can also use this feature.
The original DB BR 101 loco Add-on will remain on sale (but requires the Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr route Add-on in order to operate).
Included in this release is the much requested and eagerly awaited IC Steuerwagen, Bpmmbdzf 286.1 Cab Car and updated Bpmmz and Avmmz coaches.
Cab cars are commonplace on passenger trains throughout Europe, with the earliest designs even dating back to the late 1800s. The concept was primarily used on regional or urban traffic, where top speeds were 140 km/h and quick turnaround times for trains were a necessity.
It wasn't until the 1990s that cab cars were trialled for higher-speed, long-distance traffic. Tested up to 14cars and speeds up to 200 km/h, if successful, would allow for much greater flexibility of inter-city services throughout Germany. The tests were promising enough, that several batches of existing, but relatively new coaches were converted to have a cab retrofitted onto one end, and ballast added to increase their weight.
Please give me a thumbs up and subscribe if you haven't done so already ;-)
