Description
As part of the LION project (“FaceLift, Integration, Optimization, ReconfiguratioN“), new double-decker rush hour “HVZ-D” (Hauptverkehrszeit-Doppelstockzug) relief trains were created with the new 2nd class double-deck coaches that were released by the new NDW. These consist of six or ten carriages and are coupled together with two converted Re 420 locomotives at each end. These trains have primarily replaced the previous RBe-540 services. In contrast to the DPZ compositions.
This Add-On for Trainsimulator contains reproductions of this beautiful engine including cab and working controls. These engines have full ZUB and Requested Stop compatibility with Rivet Games’ Routes.

Do not hesitate to buy for one minute. This is one of several Trainworx products I have bought. They are without exception the most atmospheric and lifelike engines I have come across in either Train Simulator and Train Sim World. I have never driven one of these but they do feel exactly like locos I have driven in real life. The sound is superb both from the loco itself and also the track. The locos bounce and sway when reacting to the track and with headphones or good speaker offer a wonderful low rumble as they traverse the tracks. Mr. Mersel is a genius and seems to constantly upgrade where necessary.
