[_o_OOOO_oo-Kanawha]

Today we are bringing an update to Train Sim World 2020, this update brings changes to speed limits, signals, as well as other various fixes to Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr route DLC. Please find the full update log below:

- Adjusted westbound RE2 service to stop at Mulheim (Ruhr) instead of Mulheim (Ruhr) West.

- Adjusted the DB BR 425 EMUs volume fades, to reduce instances of reported clicks and pops during fast sound transitions.

- Adjusted the track maximum authorised speed at the following locations:

- - Wattenscheid from 100 km/h to 160 km/h.

- - Between Essen Kray Sud and Essen Hbf from 100 km/h to 140 km/h and extended to the 100 km/h maximum authorised speed sign.

- - Essen Kray (eastbound) between Signal 943 and the crossover from 90 km/h to 130 km/h.

- - Girder bridges over the river approaching Duisburg Hbf from 100 km/h to 140 km/h.

- - Short 120 km/h section (eastbound) between Essen Kray Sud and Essen Hbf has been raised to 140 km/h.

- Corrected signal P2 at Essen Hbf to operate as Hp type instead of Ks.

- Moved the 120 km/h maximum authorised speed sign just outside of the east end of the platforms at Mulheim Hbf from the left to the right of the track it marks.

- Corrected Signal 934 at Essen Kray to show ‘9’ on the Zs3 indicator for the left-hand route and will no longer display any indication for the right-hand route.

- Corrected signals 903 through 908 and 913 through 918 between Essen-Frohnhausen and Mulheim Hbf with white and yellow post plates to default back to ‘Clear’ once the signal block is unoccupied instead of remaining at ‘Danger’ until the next route is allocated.

- Removed rust from track between Essen-Frohnhausen and Mulheim Hbf.

A BR204 Diesel Hydraulic switcher has been announced for the German players.

[mindenjohn]

The BR204 was not and is not a switcher. It originated in the DDR as Class 114 being the most powerful of the so called “coat hanger” type (centre cab) and was used on branch line passenger and goods trains. It also ran on main and secondary lines as a mixed/light traffic loco. Since the DB and DR merger they have been mostly used on infrastructure/maintenance trains. They remain (like Thomas) really useful engines - a German Geep.
