Train Sim World 2: New Journeys Expansion is available now!

Start a new journey and revisit the incredible routes featured in Trains Sim World 2 from a whole new perspective with a new expansion!

Today we take our first look at the new pack that is coming soon for Train Sim World 2, the New Journeys Expansion. This expansion gives each of the original routes from Train Sim World 2 something new. In this first look, we will be delving deeper into the New Journeys content that is coming to the popular Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen.

In its current form, Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen has two of the most iconic units that feature on the route in real life, the DB BR 406 ICE 3M EMU and DB BR 442 EMU ‘Talent 2’, these services allow you to simulate both highspeed international and regional services. The New Journeys Expansion enhances this duo with the inclusion of the DB BR 423 EMU.



This modern commuter Electric Multiple Unit is perfectly suited to the stop-start nature of the busy and consistent Commuter S12 and S19 services it simulates and offers an entirely new driving experience. With a total of 194 playable services of which 80 of these are brand new, there is plenty for you to enjoy. This significantly increases Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen’s already busy timetable and will immerse you in the hustle and bustle of Western German Suburban commuting, coupled with the recently added Rush Hour features you will find plenty of passengers waiting for you as you wind your way across the route.




The simulation of S12 services around Köln means the closer you get to the city the busy it gets. If you wish to explore the entire route from the cab of a DB BR 423 EMU, we have included the once-a-day S19 service which runs the full length of the line from Aachen into Köln early each morning. You will have plenty of opportunities for interesting Railfans shots as you head towards the rising sun and your final destination of Köln.



For those of you already familiar with Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen, fear not. We have retained the original timetable and all of the original layers too, giving you the freedom to play the route how you wish and incorporating existing layers you have already been enjoying seamlessly.



Over the coming weeks, we will continue to reveal more of the new content you can look forward to as part of the upcoming Train Sim World 2: New Journeys Expansion. The pack adds new scenarios, services and journeys to Bakerloo Line, Schnellfahrstrecke Köln - Aachen and Sand Patch Grade. You can also look forward to liveries for the the 1972 Stock, SD40 and the new loco with the DB BR 423 included.

As hundreds of railfans before, you stand at the trackside fence waiting to see that gradual plume of smoke appear in the distance. A sense of wonderment and anticipation builds as your perseverance is rewarded.

During the Railfan Fest 2021 we made an exciting announcement for Train Sim World 2. Since then we have been working on an exciting project called Spirit of Steam to bring the thunderous power of steam engines to the simulation.

New driving experiences coupled with the formidable and undulating terrain of the Saxony Hills are yours to master, with the new Tharandter Rampe: Dresden – Chemnitz, available now on Train Sim World 2.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1664953/Train_Sim_World_2_Tharandter_Rampe_Dresden__Chemnitz_Route_AddOn/


Jump in the cab of a variety of interesting Locos and units synonymous with services of the early 2010s between the impressive stations and busy cities of Dresden and Chemnitz. Make your way across the 79 km (49-mile) route, climbing into the incredibly beautiful hills the Saxony region of Eastern Germany has to offer. This hilly terrain has gradients as steep as 2.6% and traverses deep valleys and sheer rocky hillsides, the route was constructed in the mid-19th century and has retained many of its historic features to this day. This cinematic landscape is combined with a variety of interesting railway architecture, from sprawling viaducts to roundhouse engine sheds, meaning there’s something new for you to experience at every curve.



Curves are an important feature of this amazing route. To conquer this difficult landscape railway engineers had to wind the line through the hills, finding the most optimal pathway for a railway. This results in a snaking, curving route that progresses gradually as you ascend the gradient. Thankfully the DB BR 612 DMU makes light work of this by leaning into the challenge. This highly detailed tilting Diesel Multiple Unit is the first of its kind in Train Sim World 2. With a tilt of 8° and banked tracks on many of the curves, passenger comfort is retained at higher speeds. Whereas passengers on a non-tilting train would find themselves thrown around or their belongings sliding off tables. Thanks to its ingenious design you are able to exceed conventional speed restrictions when controlling the DB BR 612 DMU, gliding through the twisting route much faster. This offers you a whole new gameplay experience!





These fast trains represent services bound for Dresden and more distant destinations, if you wish to take in the scenery at a more leisurely pace and visit each of the historic stations dotted along the route we have included the DB BR 143, and Dopplestock coaches, this simulates the region’s S-Bahn services on the Eastern half of the route and caters for other services that would otherwise stop between Dresden and Chemnitz.



Of course, if German freight is more to your taste Tharandter Rampe: Dresden – Chemnitz doesn’t disappoint. Due to the line's proximity to the German- Czech Republic (Czechian) border, and being a vital link between the larger cities of Northeast and Southeast Germany it experiences a fair amount of heavy freight traffic. We have introduced the powerful Railpool BR 185.6 resplendent in the elegant Railpool silver livery. This fully licensed modern freight electric locomotive has a variety of timetabled services that include consists featuring Roos-T, Habbins, and Laeers freight wagons, or mixed freight. To cover the lighter duties of shunting and preparing trains that are commonplace across the route we have included the DB BR 363 “V 60“, this veteran of German railways can be seen in sidings in a variety of locations across Tharandter Rampe: Dresden – Chemnitz.





Approximately 200 freight and passenger services are available as part of the 24-hour timetable, simulating that of one found in the early 2010s, 6 unique pre-planned scenarios also give you the freedom to enjoy Tharandter Rampe: Dresden – Chemnitz and get started quickly. This hilly Mix-traffic route has so many ways for you to explore and enjoy it, the choice is yours!

Climbing up through the beautiful Saxony hills of Eastern Germany, diverse mixed traffic trains tackle the challenge of Tharandter Rampe: Dresden – Chemnitz. Coming to Train Sim World 2 on January 13th.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1664953/Train_Sim_World_2_Tharandter_Rampe_Dresden__Chemnitz_Route_AddOn/

Our first new route for 2022 arrives on Train Sim World 2 on January 13th. This beautiful recreation of Tharandter Rampe: Dresden – Chemnitz gives you the freedom to simulate a variety of interesting services across this scenic German route. We take a closer look at some of the varied locomotives and units




Introducing several firsts to Train Sim World 2, the DB BR 612 DMU is a real treat for railfans. With its unique tilting feature and integrated safety systems, you will be able to drive this unit in a completely different manner to that of the other locos that feature on the route, taking the banked curves much faster than its non-tilting counterparts and safely staying on the track. It is also the very first German Diesel Multiple Unit to feature in Train Sim World, bringing new gameplay and driving experiences to our German railfans.

Travelling between the cities of Dresden and Chemnitz you will simulate the faster services bound for Hof, Nürnberg, and Dresden, linking the Eastern and Southernmost German regions of Saxony and Bavaria, these faster services will feature in both scenarios and timetable services.

As you can see it's also a real treat if you want to get a railfan shot too, the route is crammed full of ideal locations for you to get some really striking images. So grab your camera and explore the route. If you would like to know more about the creation of this fantastic unit, we spoke to some of the designers who researched and recreated it. Find out more here






Representing the region’s S-Bahn services on the Eastern half of the route, and other services that stop across the full length of the route, the DB BR 143, and Dopplestock coaches add the busyness and consistency of local services you would expect to see in real life. With 74 timetabled services for you to complete, you can explore the entire route or short sections of it at a time at your leisure from the cabs of either the DB BR 143 or Dopplestock.

Unable to reach the higher speeds of the DB BR 612 DMU and stopping at significantly more regular intervals along the route, this veteran push-pull combination of electric loco and coaches offers an alternative driving experience, it’s the perfect way for you to enjoy the undulating terrain and rural stations of Tharandter Rampe: Dresden – Chemnitz.




Gliding across the Saxony landscape at the head of heavy freight trains is the Railpool BR 185.6, this fully licensed and highly detailed loco has been built to Railpool’s exact specifications and is ready for you to take control. As you explore the route you will see various yards and industrial developments that utilise the route's freight-carrying capabilities, with 20 different timetabled services bound for varied destinations across the East of Germany there is a plethora of mixed freight for you to enjoy.

Built by Bombardier and a member of the larger TRAXX family of locos the BR 185 is synonymous with modern German freight in a variety of locations across the country. Tharandter Rampe: Dresden – Chemnitz introduces the .6 variant of the loco which sports the eye-catching Railpool silver livery. Your consists will be made up of Roos-T, Habbins, and Laeers freight wagons, or mixed freight.

Just be mindful of those heavy trains as you approach some of those steep gradients. The combination of Tharandter Rampe: Dresden – Chemnitz’s hilly terrain and Train Sim World 2’s adhesion feature can present quite the challenge when controlling a heavily loaded freight train across this route.






Completing the compliment of locos and units that you can look forward to in the upcoming Tharandter Rampe: Dresden – Chemnitz we have this plucky little shunter, the DB BR 363 “V 60“, the heavy shunter variant of the same family of locos. This truly is a veteran of German railways, over 900 were built, and the oldest of its class has clocked up an impressive 65 years of active service this April.

You will spot the DB BR 363 patiently waiting for its next duty in sidings across the route, of course, you can also jump in and enjoy shunting duties of outgoing freight or prepare it for future stock movements. The version included in Tharandter Rampe: Dresden – Chemnitz features DB’s blue livery, a nice alternative to the bright red liveries predominantly seen across DB’s vast network.
