Gibt es diese Karte schon auf der DLS?
Es wurde noch nicht veröffentlicht, es befindet sich noch im Aufbau. Es wird jedoch nicht lange dauern.

Finally, thank you kilanziom for your efforts to continuously provide the community with your lovely locos and wagons! They are being put to good use as we speak. You will see them in action in our next Super Session…
Thank you for the videos and magnificent work on sessions - it's a pleasure to see it all brought to life as part of a broader traffic. I'd say we share quite some similarities on views regarding the advantages of Trainz as a sort of railway time machine ;]
Speaking of future sessions, I'd encourage you to review the DLS from recent months about the huge script update on all locomotives and adding them to a script library. I'm sorry for this mess, but an error was detected on the previous scripts in shunting mode and it required correction of almost all locomotives (implementing a library), described in a wider context in the EET thread at the N3V forum, post #376:EET - Eastern European Trainz | Page 19 | Trainz
In addition, as a discrete supporter of your Central Europe project, I would like to mention that since approximately summer 2025 I've been trying to clean up, update and send to the DLS all freight cars withing my reach together with all depenancies, which generally ended up as a success and therefore there's several dozen more freight cars (both historical and contemporary) to be used without limits now (eg. qcyk85, vicia_007, kalashnikov456, lookseek and myself). It is also worth to mention that most PKP steam locomotives had undergone several corrections and are now smoking again (previously there was an error that did not display smoke in T:ANE and higher versions - as in your video with the TKt48 steamer). At the moment, most steam locomotives of the Pt47, Pm2, Pm3, TKt48 and Ty2 series are already "corrected" and fully available on DLS, and the smoke should display as follows:
@Richard, if you'll find a moment, I'd sure encourage you to share some final effects at Nové Zámky and Šurany stations, from previous screens and movies they were looking mighty pleasing. I've spent many hours there, many times, lots of good memories (and even a couple of models - rolling stock only though).

@Richard, just as a little addition to your last comment, maybe this will be useful for you: I fought long and hard battles with my colleague who is the author of some 16x/36x thyristor electric locomotives for TRS and his aversion towards DLS, but in the end I only managed to modernize, equip the new script, add a full set of available dependencies and publish only 2 of my reskins (they are fully available on DLS). It's not much... and they have poor sounds... but they are "ready to go" as we speak. This was also accompanied by the first fully available EP09, all as part of a bug-forced, total modernization of locomotive scripts and transferring them to a script library... which was accompanied by the addition of a large number of new ones, ~700 models in total... including a bunch of new ET21s, ET22s and 751s, a few 122s and a lot of 181/182/183s (everything is already on the DLS).
Once again, good luck with your work and cheers.

"Here come the trainzes" idea is developed. For the old CEM, the session files are available on https://herecomethetrainzes.com/ . The original session for Niddertal and CEM have been in development for 5 or 6 years. The person responsible, Este , has made a new one for Swedaryn Island route as well.
He is currently busy doing minor renovations to the old Central Europe project, the one we abandoned back in TRS19 due to it´s big size, inconsistency of work, no idea of what we want the route to be, etc. He is making a super session there now. So expect a small update to that route, to allow it to function relatively okay in TRS22. But that will be the final official update for that route, after 6 years of hiatus.Thank you for all the info, explanations, graphics and maps about the current state of the project. It should be noted that one of the key advantages of your project on the background of most (sadly usually abandoned) Trainz projects would be... teamwork and more/less similar approach of most authors involved on the target idea and ways to implement it. The great advantage is undoubtedly the wide presentation of the possibilities of automated train traffic in a wider range (believe me, I am aware of how much pain in the *** it is to organize it and command it) - something which, combined with the interactivity of the building possibilities, is still one of the unrivaled advantages of Trainz as a railway simulator.
Would you care to share a small comment about the idea of particular period specified for your project? The issue about Trainz is that the time and effort for constructing maps takes so much time, that real world railways rapidly changed during it, and what you had as "current" 5 years ago is no longer present "now" - a thing visible in particular on central European railways... This is not only related to the availability of models (slightly wider for some periods then other), but also... more interesting traffic management, combination of trains, consists etc. - with each passing year, the real railway becomes less and less interesting - hence the question: for what period do you plan to set it up? And of course, as a lover of historical railways and the author of many historical models, I am a big supporter of Este in all concepts for historic sessions. More videos and pictures please!I'd advise to check out DLS regularly, because various models from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Germany, etc. are added from time to time, e.g. yesterday, a set of station hall roofs from Görlitz entered public space. Some time ago a set of midtown residential buildings from Trnava, Piešťany, Ostróda, Kwidzyn and Prague were released too... the abilities to build a reasonable central European railway model are quite decent these days
And so... after many years of preprarations, I'm just getting started with a Big City Module.The second pic reminded me, instantly of a near identical bridge and location in Portland, Or. USA, where I lived for many years.
Google Maps link. N.W. Naito Parkway & the Broadway Bridge.The street view is obscured by trees, which have grown to full size since I was last there. But at one time the view was nearly identical to your screenshot
Zooming to street view on the bridge itself, shows full railings and sidewalks, supporting your idea for Richard.Ahhh yes... the States and their enormous steel bridges, junctions on bridges, elevated bridges, swing bridges... and all that impressive scale, size and traffic. Got some good memories from my own time there back in the day. I'd say that Portland road bridge is quite massive for a road bridge, rather reminding us of the mass of railroad bridges there. Nevertheless however, the ones on my screen (and Richard's movie) are actually central European (just preety rusty and therefore reddish)... both originally still exist on railway lines around the town of Lwówek Śląski in Lower Silesia (Löwenberg in Schlesien) - currently undergoing overhauls before being put back to service (after a long period of decaying railways in the 1990s and 2000s we lived to a moment when Lower Silesia became the pioneer in the field of reactivation of local railway lines
)Best regards and wish you luck on the project again.

Hello there, pleased to see your recent activity. If I may, I would recommend supplementing the iron bridges visible in the movie above with additional railings. There was a group of spline-railings designed specifically for these railway bridge models (however you may use some other splines too), enabling a following effect:
...a tiny detail yet worth considering (the rusty ones presented on the upper right screen would be the first mentioned below):

Or a new Germany-focused map? What happened with Here Comes The Trainzes idea too? Best wishes and thumbs up on each and everyone of them.

I wonder, if you could make a bunch of consists to use for eastern european routes like the Mega Sudety ?
This would be helpful for operational sessions i think.
Hello Ulli,
Thank you. It would require some time to set up such consists for a map as big as Mega-Sudety, and it's not excluded I'll try to share something of this sort in the future. For a general overwiew how something like this could look, I tried to put some consists together for a session at my recent map, Kolej Bystrzycka (availavle at the DLS), you may want to check it out for a general feeling of such consists in a smaller scale map:
<kuid:173943:106917> Bystrzycka Railway 1976-SUM
<kuid:173943:106919> Bystrzycka Railway 1976-SUM - PKP Rolling StockA year or two ago I also tried to reconstruct consists of historic trainz using Trainz models, with comments in the following thread, however some of the photos are now gone...
FORUM PTT - :: Zobacz temat - Historyczne zestawienia skĹadĂłw osobowych na PKP
I would like to get back to that idea one day again, in the meantime some historic DB:

kilanziom Can you make please ÖBB passenger cars Type 28 with same textur optional as this Polen passenger cars, to have 3 ÖBB version??? This poland passanger cars look great, ....i like this poland version very much, .....will be very nice to have this color also optional for ÖBB version.
Hi Chris,
I believe I mentioned about the background of my creations before. I put significant emphasis on utilizing original photo materials of actual coaches and carefully recreate them for Trainz paying attention to many layers. It's important since they have a lot of prototypical details that changed during their service under different European railways (even though they were originally made as part of the same, German family). E.g. in Poland, during major overhauls in the early 1970s most "Donnerbüchsen" received new, welded lower portions of their carbodies (which never happend in Austria, since in the 1970s they were no longer overhauled at all)... and that's just one reason that they are preety useless to switch between one and other for Trainz purposes... not to mention that "repainted" colors rarely come authentic and usually all else becomes spoiled with the color change - in this case e.g. the sediment from water on the side walls. It's always best to use authentic materials and work with them. I had only two original Austrian Ci-28 cars that I photographed in Strasshof and Ampflwang and they're both done for Trainz. There's some other cars that I may take on in the future, but as for Ci-28 or Ci-29, that's basically all that I collected from Austria. Maybe a Bi-29 has some chances of appearing since I bumped into a heavily rebuilt one at Strasshof too... however recently I was rather thinking about some additional 4-axle cars, especially the "Jaffa" paintscheme is modestly represented... though I have not decided about any in particular since I am heavily occupied with a revolution on locomotive scripts and updates. Not to worry, I find historic Austrian railways mighty pleasing too so there's definiely space for future creations from that area.
The above-mentioned, heavily-rebuilt former Bi-29:
