Description
Romantic Railroads shows the German Railways DRG Class BR03 Express Steam locomotive as it was in service in Germany during 1920-1945 and the Polish version when used from the late 1950s to 1968. Romantic Railroads includes different steam locomotives and tender variants, along with several passenger coaches of the Deutsche Reichsbahn and the PKP Railways in Poland.All the locomotives, tenders and wagons have many animated features such as opening smokeboxes with visible interiors, animated water hatches, moving maintenance access blinds in the streamlined version, functional filling of the sandboxes as well as special features on the coaches.
All the locomotives feature extensive scripting to make the driving experience as authentic as possible. Two versions of each locomotive are included - a Simple version for easy driving and a more complex version that requires more skill to stop priming and even boiler explosion!
The eight types of coaches include various animations that include doors, windows and even the passengers; some even have music playing! Leaking steam heating effects are included.
To help make this a really authentic experience, not only are the locomotives and carriages highly authentic, but in the scenarios many custom period objects are on show for you to interact with and view as you drive. You will see animated ox carts, steam rollers and even a Zeppelin flying overhead. All these custom objects can also be used by scenario builders when creating their own scenarios. Seven standard scenarios are included along with five Free Roams for the Hagen-Siegen, Seeberg-Bahn and the Munich-Augsburg routes.
All the locomotives and Coaches are Quick Drive enabled.
