ET41 + Heavy Cargo

[Bravura Lion]

I was wondering if it is planned that the ET41 will be available in Simrail, this would be ideal for heavy freight trains. That would also be the next topic: Currently the freight trains are not loaded, it would be nice if we also have freight trains here that are loaded accordingly.

I would like the EU05/EP05 or SU45 locomotive in the game more. I'm curious to see how many locomotives will be in the game at release time and how much DLC there will be. 😄

For heavy freight trains, I would like the ET42 more for instance. Can't beat the charm of a VL10/11 derivative!

People have been driving the current freight consists for a while now, wouldn't hurt with a little change in Early Access. Maybe we'll discover more bugs with loaded trains *wink wink wink* @SimRail team

Also, there are rumours about an ET22 because of a typo in SimRail (just throwing it out there)

i'd love to see more of the classic 'old skool' trains in SimRail. 

most of the train driving games / simulators based on european operations seem to concentrate a lot on the modern computer controlled trains, i know one train game maker says they do this because that's the best way to make money, they are trying to get the younger people playing their train driving game, and they apparently won't do that if the trains available are ones that stopped operations before they were born (they also say that 90 minutes is the absolute max time these people will play for before getting bored, hence why all their routes are shorter than this) 😞

 

I know SimRail is based on the Polish railways in 2018, where the EP/EU07 was still 'king' as the most reliable loco on the system, but i'd love to see some more of these kinds of older trains, the ones that are dying out or simply not used on the main line anymore, 

So whilst you may not get to ride them in real life outside of a museum line, in the simulator you can do better than just see them in action, you get to drive them for ~300km taking almost 4 hours.
