Weekly report calendar week 43

Activity construction is progressing well

In the last few days, the construction of activities for the PT 25 route has made good progress. This targeted progress has only become possible because I only concentrate on building activities and no longer get bogged down with all sorts of projects. That's why I'm now in a position to say which routes will be the first to have activity packages. As already announced, the activity package for a main route will be for route PT 14, i.e. the route from Kassel via Gießen to Frankfurt. The announced activity package for the branch line will, as you probably guessed, be a package for the PT 25 route, i.e. the route from Gießen via Limburg to Koblenz. Both activity packages are winter packages, i.e. packages whose activities take place exclusively in winter. Thanks to the significantly better graphical representation in Open Rails, the representation of winter is an experience in itself. Something like this was not possible in MSTS. As far as the activities themselves are concerned, there are options in Open Rails that could not be implemented in the MSTS.

In the following days and weeks I will continue to work systematically on the above-mentioned packages. My goal is to release these in early December.

More repaints

Fortunately, there are models that can be repainted quickly. This applies to the container wagons of the type Lbms 589 and the lifting sliding roof wagons of the type Tds 851 from Heiko Müller, which will now also be available with DBAG-Keksen. Thomas Pilder also gave me permission to make a DBAG version of his standard auxiliary equipment vehicle EH 388 in yellow. I would therefore like to thank both of them very much again.

Until next time
