【TSW3】尼德塔尔铁路：巴德维尔贝尔——斯托克海姆线路介绍 BR628车辆预览
即将推出-尼德塔尔铁路：巴德维尔贝尔——斯托克海姆
尼德塔尔铁路要来了！是时候放弃电力了，忘记那些架空电线，加速一些引擎了，因为我们的德国火车模拟世界的内容可以追溯到20世纪90年代初，并进入了一条完整的柴油动力支线。火车模拟世界3：尼德塔尔铁路：巴德维尔贝尔–斯托克海姆将于3月23日发布！
你们中的一些人可能已经知道尼德塔尔巴恩一段时间了。鹰眼的观众可能已经注意到我们去年9月在我们的 自由发展日记 我们在 铁路春季峰会 2月-在此过程中确认DB BR628.2 DMU。
专门的路线图追随者也将知道该路线引入 火车模拟德国(TSG) 作为我们正在进行的合作伙伴计划的一部分，培训模拟世界3。如果你错过了最新的 3月路线图文章，您可以阅读TSG团队的采访 了解更多关于他们在开发这条古雅但详细的路线时遇到的一些有趣的挑战。
旅客列车：DB BR628.2
负责该航线的客运运营是 DB BR628.2 DMU，多年来，火车模拟世界社区的许多人都要求。这个建于20世纪80年代的可靠单元的变体在20世纪90年代和21世纪在德国的一些地区广泛传播，包括巴德维尔贝尔和当时被命名为斯托克海姆的支线。1989年德国统一之前，一件引人注目的白色和薄荷绿制服出现了，为与其他德国火车模拟世界路线不同的红色调色板增添了一些不同的东西。一个简单、实用、实用的DMU（精神上类似于英国的“步行者”单位）在涡轮增压V12柴油发动机的帮助下，BR628.2可以达到120公里/小时（75英里/小时）。
在乡村，明信片图片黑森地区，生活节奏较慢，为这条路线带来了不同的游玩风格，在这里，准时是最重要的，以确保火车不会在单轨线路上的众多经过环路上过度停留。火车运营巴德维尔贝尔和斯托克海姆之间的完整支线的全长，以及中间车站之间的一些较短的服务。总共 54个可玩的客运服务，在一个短但完整的路线上，看到一个时间表，取决于良好的时间。慢速运行不仅会拖累其他人，而且提前到达意味着你的火车在进入下一段之前已经在等待了。
时间表概述
客运时刻表反映了全线高峰和非高峰服务的潮起潮落，在9点到12点之间，两列列车每小时提供服务，之后，随着第三列列车的引入，事情变得更加繁忙，因为第三列列车与另一列列车分离。当天晚些时候，这第三列列车与最初连接的列车重新耦合，使服务频率再次下降。
下午的服务偏向于法兰克福（从巴德维尔贝尔到斯托克海姆）。在14:50至17:16之间，从斯托克海姆到巴德维尔贝尔的相反方向没有全长服务。相反，在此期间，从斯托克海姆出发的列车在阿尔滕施塔特和赫尔登堡-温德肯终点站，在那里它们被举行，以允许其他服务通过。
为了保持列车的流动，一些服务全天都有有限的站点，从而允许其他服务在经过环路时有效地穿过它们，并保持时间。
接上我们之前的德国航线附加的玩家 莱茵河左线：美因茨-科布伦茨 将能够看到运行BR 103和BR 110.3的不间断AI服务，并将能够通过许多可玩的服务层利用Linke Rheinstreke上的BR628.2。
货运列车：BR 365
加入客运服务的是柴油调车机， BR 365，在这条路线上，它作为主线货运机车，沿线路运行总共8个服务，收集库存和执行轻型发动机运动。这些服务是分部分组成的，因为它们通常是为了优先考虑客运列车而举行的。
一辆新的马车ES50出现在分流器后面，形成了甜菜列车，直到20世纪90年代初，这些列车一直是该地区每天都会发生的。虽然这个分流器在外观上与BR363相似，但BR 365的内部已经建模，以反映它在这一时期所看到的条件。
路线-回到上世纪90年代
在1990年代，1989年东西德统一和1990年国家足球队赢得世界杯后，德国重新焕发了活力。尼德塔尔班：巴德维尔贝尔——斯托克海姆以1992年为背景，这一年，U2在柏林录制的专辑《阿赫通宝贝》在欧洲无休止地演奏，年轻的迈克尔·舒马赫赢得了他的第一场F1胜利。
路线、车站、指示牌和火车服务都反映了这一时期，描绘了在重新开发路线的一些车站和引入更现代的DMU之前的一段时间。熟悉德国这个地区的年轻球员可能不认识像赫尔登贝根-温德肯这样的名字，甚至不认识斯托克海姆的路线终点站，因为他们后来和其他球员一起被重新命名（分别被改名为尼德劳和格劳堡-斯托克海姆）。
甜菜货运列车也反映了时间——这些日常服务，本来可以把甜菜从线路上转移到弗里德伯格的糖厂，在20世纪90年代初结束，这使得巴德维尔贝尔和斯托克海姆之间的这条路线的设置成为对最后一些经过该地区的此类列车的致敬是恰当的。
总共有14个车站占据了尼德谷沿线的一条完整的支线，因此被称为“尼德塔尔铁路”，与其他火车模拟世界路线相比，它的速度较慢，细节也很高。BR628.2宽阔的驾驶室窗户上充满了绿色植物，开阔的田野和林地一直延伸到地平线，沿线每个城镇和村庄之间的农田里到处都是庄稼。一路上，球员们将被鼓励收集凯尔特人雕像，更换牛奶瓶，修复损坏的平交道标志，并张贴海报。这条路线上也有一些定义铁路功能，从在火车模拟世界中首次出现动画德国信号量信号，到人工智能服务能够识别哨卡和相应的“鸣笛”！
火车模拟世界3：尼德塔尔铁路：巴德维尔贝尔——斯托克海姆 路线附加将于3月23日起在Xbox One、Xbox系列X|S、PS4、PS5、史诗游戏商店和蒸汽上提供，价格为29.99英镑/39.99美元/35.99欧元。
Niddertalbahn is coming! It’s time to ditch the electrics, forget those overhead wires and rev up some engines as our German Train Sim World content goes back to the early 1990s and onto a complete, diesel-powered branch line. Train Sim World 3: Niddertalbahn: Bad Vilbel – Stockheim will be released on March 23rd!
Some of you may have known about Niddertalbahn for a little while. Eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed us slipping out the name of this forthcoming route last September in our Freedom Dev Diary and we teased a little more of it during the Festival of Rail Spring Summit in February - confirming the DB BR 628.2 DMU in the process.
Dedicated Roadmap followers will also know that the route introduces Train Sim Germany (TSG) to Train Sim World 3 as part of our ongoing Partner Programme. If you missed the latest March Roadmap Article, you can read the interview with the TSG Team to learn more about some of the fun challenges they had when developing this quaint but detailed route.
Units, Locomotives and Services
Passenger Trains: DB BR 628.2
Heading up passenger operations on the route is the DB BR 628.2 DMU, requested by much of the Train Sim World community over the years. Variants of this dependable unit, built in the 1980s, became widespread across a number of German regions during the 1990s and 2000s including the branch line between Bad Vilbel and what was then named Stockheim. A striking white and mint green livery appears from before the reunification of Germany in 1989, adding something different to the largely red palette from other German Train Sim World routes. A simple, practical, utilitarian DMU (similar in spirit to the British ‘Pacer’ units), the BR 628.2 can hit 120 km/h (75 mph) courtesy of a turbocharged V12 diesel engine.
A slower pace of life in the rural, postcard-picture Hesse region brings a different style of play to this route where punctuality is paramount to ensure trains aren’t unduly held at the numerous passing loops along the single track line. Trains operate the full length of the complete branch line between Bad Vilbel and Stockheim, as well as some shorter services between intermediate stations. A total of 54 playable passenger services, over a short but complete route, see a timetable formed that’s dependent on good timing. Not only will slow running hold up others, but arriving early will mean your train is waiting before being able to proceed into the next section.
Timetable Overview
The passenger timetable works to reflect the ebb and flow of peak and off-peak services across the route, with an hourly service worked by two trains between the hours of 0900 and 1200, after which things become busier with the introduction of a third train, having uncoupled from another. Later in the day, this third train recouples with the train it was originally attached to, bringing the service frequency back down again.
The afternoon services have a bias away from Frankfurt (from Bad Vilbel towards Stockheim). Between 14:50 and 17:16 there are no full length services in the opposite direction from Stockheim to Bad Vilbel. Instead, trains running from Stockheim during this period terminate at Altenstadt and Heldenburg-Windecken, where they are held to allow the other services through.
In order to keep this flow of trains moving, throughout the day some services have limited stops thus allowing others to cross them at passing loops effectively and keep to time.
Players that picked up our previous German route Add-on Linke Rheinstrecke: Mainz-Koblenz will be able to see non-stop AI services running the BR 103 and BR 110.3 and will be able to make use of the BR 628.2 on Linke Rheinstrecke through a number of playable service layers.
Freight Trains: BR 365
Joining the passenger services is a diesel shunter, the BR 365, which on this route features as a main line freight locomotive, running a total of 8 services along the course of the line, collecting stock and performing light engine movements. These services are formed in parts, as they are often held in order to prioritise the passenger trains.
A new wagon, the ES50, makes an appearance behind the shunter, forming the sugar beet trains that were once a daily occurrence in the area until the beginning of the 1990s. Though this shunter is on the outside visually similar to the BR 363, the interior of the BR 365 has been modelled to reflect the condition it would have been seen in during this period.
The route - Back to the 1990s
During the 1990s, Germany had a renewed vigour following the reunification of East and West Germany in 1989 and a World Cup victory for the national football team in 1990. Niddertalbahn: Bad Vilbel – Stockheim comes set in 1992, a year that heard U2’s Berlin-recorded album ‘Achtung Baby’ play endlessly across Europe and saw a young Michael Schumacher take his first of many Formula 1 wins.
The route, stations, signage and train services all reflect this period, depicting a time prior to the redevelopment of a number of the route’s stations and introduction of more modern DMUs. Younger players familiar with this area of Germany may not recognise names like Heldenbergen-Windecken or even the route’s terminus at Stockheim, as they have since been renamed (to Nidderau and Glauburg-Stockheim respectively) along with others.
The sugar beet freight trains also reflect the time – these daily services, which would have moved sugar beet off the line to the sugar factory in Friedberg, came to an end at the start of the 1990s, making the setting of this route between Bad Vilbel and Stockheim a fitting tribute to some of the final such trains that made their way through the area.
In total, 14 stations occupy what is a complete branch line along the Nidder Valley, therefore known as ‘Niddertalbahn’, which is seen at a slower pace when compared to other Train Sim World routes and in a high level of detail. Greenery fills the wide cab window of the BR 628.2, with open fields and woodland stretching to the horizon and farmland full with crops between each of the towns and villages along the line. Along the way, players will be encouraged to collect Celtic statues, replace milk bottles, repair broken Level Crossing signs and put up posters. There are also some defining railway features on the route, from the first appearance of animated German semaphore signals in Train Sim World, to AI services being able to recognise whistle boards and ‘honk’ accordingly!
Train Sim World 3: Niddertalbahn: Bad Vilbel – Stockheim route Add-on will be available from March 23rd on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Epic Games Store, and Steam for £29.99/$39.99/€35.99.
