Volume 2 - Fast railcars on the runway

German Railroads - Volume 2 is available in shops in the USA and Canada at the 20th May 2003. Our distributor Strategy First will put it on the shelf. So look for that at your store or order it there. Also available on AMAZON.COM .

After the great success of Volume 1 we present you this time a main route with again interesting rolling equipment.

The „Runway” as known by german railroad enthusiastic, the route Munster – Osnabruck – Bremen.  We recreated this route as it was in ca. 1970.  The electrification of the route had just been finished and on few train stations there was already light signalling. This means you’ll have to learn the meaning of the form signals as well as the light signals of the DB.

The route is app. 180 Km long and offers again a zestfully environment with lots of nature and also a lot of cities. With well over 25 train stations it means diverse activities. And again there are much industrial tracks with various companies.

Beside railcars there are also engines and suiting wagons like express wagons and a variety of freight wagons. With this rolling stock and over 30 activities you’ll keep yourself busy. With realistic signalling and signs.

You can drive the whole track just with the help of the speed manual and the railroad signs from within the cab, without using the game monitors. When you’re outside of the cab they are of course very useful.

In order to give non-railroad buffs the chance to learn the many railroad signs, we not only have a detailed signal overview but a tutorial activity as well in which all the signals and signs will be explained. So that everybody not familiar will have fun with this route.

Again our add-on is being tested by the DB AG and here’s what they said;
„Freudenreich and Tollknaepper GbR made in good collaboration with DB AG an excellent product. Technical this add-on is extremely well done. The possibilities of Train Simulator are being well featured with this add-on. This add-on will guarantee a long time of having fun with “the Bahn.”
