That's a good buy. I have all those. I like German routes and locos have quite a few. Berlin Whittenberg is another good German route to buy. Done by Virtual Railroads.

I've got just about all of the German content, Rob, depends if you were looking for anything specific, besides the Ludmilla, which is worth getting, have a look on YouTube for some authentic videos, they were magnificent beasts.

If you go to the Railworks German website, you can pick up a freebie sound update for the RSC BR232, just click on the update file.

The offer is good value, but a bit patchy in its content.

Cologne - Dusseldorf is an early product of Aerosoft. There are lots of missed chances to do it right, and it has never been updated. So don't expect any superelevation and other new features. An unofficial update by volunteers is in the works, but still WIP, ETA unknown.

Munich - Augsburg is a decent product. A bit of a short run, and Munich HBF is a resource hog.

There are two ICE EMU's included separately, but the M-A route also includes one? There might be subtle differences as to how they operate under cruise control and automatic train control with continuous cab signaling (LZB/PZB). Not every train is compatible with the route's signaling system.

The Metronom loco and train is not native to any of the above routes, it belongs to Hamburg - Hannover route.

The Ludmilla is worth getting by itself. Big and busty, with a deep, throaty growl that rumbles your stomach. It is also a nice loco to operate IMO.
