Seems pleasant enough, in an identikit kind of way (reminds me of the generic appearance of Just Trains UK routes).

The supplied loco which (apparently) I already had installed seems very overpowered, no effort at all to accelerate to 60 - 70 km/h with low cut off and minimal regulator.

German forums via proxy at UKTS reporting issues with the signaling - there certainly doesn't seem to be any warning either via the HUD, lineside signage or the speed element of the German signaling of upcoming limits. I ended up taking a 50 km/h turnout at 70 km/h which pretty much paid to my "career" drive.

Maybe a refund job, maybe not - going to use up my two hours and decide after that.

I'm trying out the first scenario and got caught out by the speed change limit not being marked either on the F4 Hud or on the track. This happens a lot on career scenarios on most DTG routes. Also it is impossible to keep to the timetable arriving late at each station.

Actually having driven a bit further and with a Quick Drive diesel consist, I find it growing on me. Nice rural, relaxing feel. Could yield objects/assets for own projects, so this one's a keeper.

Sadly one station is mixed up with the names and platform markers, so the career scenario is impossible to finish since times are calculated wrong due to this naming issue.

A member of German rail-sim forum created an optical upgrade for the route, replacing vegetation, signals and some buildings - however he offers no support for it.
