Description
Grenzlandbahn (V1.2)
After many years of working on developing Dutch and German TS rolling stock, we thought it a good idea to combine both worlds in an fictitious border route that starts somewhere in the Netherlands and ends more than 50 kilometers further in Germany. The period around 1970 was chosen, so that on the German side of the route steam traction, which was still indispensable for the Bundesbahn at the time, could be given ample room in scenarios. In addition to the Wilbur Graphics stock, you’ll find the V36. Its builders, Eisenbahnwerk (EW), have granted us a license for incorporating this engine. You will also come across the V200 from DTG as part of the ELAP package.
