Get ready to celebrate the 200 year history of modern railways, with the GWR HST Farewell Pack Add-on, bringing all new gameplay and iconic HST power cars to the Great Western Express Remastered and Riviera Line routes!

As a tribute to the HST’s final years in service with GWR, as well as a celebration of 200 years of modern railways, the HST Farewell Tour Add-on will feature new timetable services, thrilling scenarios, and include seven iconic HST power car designs that were worn by the GWR HST’s, along with two Mk1 HST Barrier Coach designs.

Here's a full summary of the power car designs within the pack:

• Class 43 power car 43002 ‘Sir Kenneth Grange’ (BR Blue and Yellow with nameplate)

• Class 43 power car 43093 ‘Old Oak Common’ (GWR Green with OOC vinyl & nameplate)

• Class 43 power car 43185 ‘Great Western’ (InterCity Swallow with nameplate)

• Class 43 power car 43187 & 43188 ‘Welshman’ (GWR Green with white dragon vinyl)

• Class 43 power car 43188 ‘Welshman’ (GWR Green with yellow dragon vinyl)

• Class 43 power cars (GWR Green with vinyl ‘GWR’ logo)

• Class 43 power cars (GWR Green unbranded)

In addition to the designs above, the Mk1 HST Barrier Coach will also be available in both blue and green liveries, featuring buckeye and hook coupler types, allowing players to perform stock moves between the HST’s and a wide range of stock in TSW. You will also be able to hand place end of train lamps on the Class 43s, Mk3 coaches and the barrier coaches.

The pack will contain six scenarios, all inspired by real-world events, ranging from depot open days to helping crowds of passengers from Dawlish get to the air show while keeping your cool on a hot and busy day. Keep an eye to the skies!

From the first passenger run of ‘43002’ in BR Blue, to the unveiling of ‘43093’ at the Old Oak Common depot open day, and of course the final HST runs out of Paddington. These scenarios have been made as authentically as possible, even on the smaller details, such as creating dynamic weather patterns based on the real-world weather of the day the scenario is based on, timings that match the train's schedule that day, and even exact unit numbers where possible.

Taking a close look at the timetable, as a general note, all of the seven power cars will substitute into any existing GWR HST service across Train Sim World 6, both for player-driven and AI. Extra unique services are also included for both the Great Western Express Remaster and Riviera Line routes, that make additional use of the power cars and the Mk1 HST Barrier Coaches, giving players the opportunity to drive empty stock moves using the new stock.

Train Sim World 6: GWR HST Farewell Pack is releasing on April 16th 2026 for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Epic Games Store, and Steam for £12.99/€15.99/$16.99.

Modern German traction is arriving to Train Sim World 6 in the form of the DB BR 147 locomotive from the Dovetail Games team, with a timetable twist for Frankenbahn: Stuttgart-Heilbronn!

https://psteamproxy.yuanyoumao.com/app/4035860/Train_Sim_World_6_DB_BR_147_Loco_AddOn

Train Sim World 6: DB BR 147 is releasing on April 9th 2026 for £14.99/€17.99/$17.99.

Following in the footsteps of earlier locomotive series such as the BR 145 and 146, the BR 147 represents the most recent iteration of TRAXX locos which have been in service across Europe since the late 1990s. Featuring a revised cab design to their elder counterparts, and a more rugged-looking body, the BR 147 offers the latest innovations, with modernised controls, functionality and traction packages, all while offering the same tried and tested versatility. The DB BR 147s are locomotives built for passenger use, capable of 160 km/h and useful on DB Regio services in big cities, replacing older traction on busy lines.

The DB BR 147s offers you the chance to time travel and experience Frankenbahn: Stuttgart - Heilbronn with an all-new 2018-era timetable, in which the BR 147 is utilised on various regional services. Much like the DB BR 111 in the 2000s timetable, the 147 operates in push-pull configuration with either n-Wagens or Dostos, pulling trains to Stuttgart and pushing them to Heilbronn... but not always! Look out for some unique formations in the mix.

Go up against the odds and take on unique operations with a trio of scenarios too; weather woes and convoluted convoys await!

In Train Sim World, the BR 147 has been recreated with accuracy, with a completed reference trip to capture the main sounds of the loco, such as traction motors, horns, brakes, bogies, HVAC and pantograph, taken straight from the 147 itself to make it sound as realistic as possible. Attention has also been put onto the in-cab screens which, being a modern loco, display a lot of information and hide controls which would otherwise be buttons, switches and dials in older models.

The modern controls offer a completely different way to experience the route, although the Wittenberger cab car still provides a nice contrast.

Specific features of the DB BR 147 in-game include:

• A brand new model, unrelated to the BR 187 already in-game

• Train Faults including Pantograph Failure, Wiper Blade stuck and Door Faults on the passenger coaches

• Audible Passenger Announcements

• In-depth screen navigation, including displaying your stopping pattern

• Ergonomic controls - e.g. the AFB toggle is on the AFB Lever itself rather than a separate switch

Let's take a closer look at the new 2018 timetable, and the layers included that you can make the most of!

Starting with the recent release of the Expert DB BR 145, there are some services where this will substitute for the BR 147, reflecting the operational reality of the period where these locomotives often filled gaps as the 147s were being phased into service.

As an important note: the NV variant (with destination display) is not used here, because it did not run on the line during this period, keeping the timetable representative.

Utilising the new Stuttgart S-Bahn DB BR 423, which will be added into the route alongside the DB BR 147's release, a full suite of S4, S5 and S6 services are playable, nearly making up half of the timetable service count by itself! This new BR 423 also replaces the Frankfurt S-Bahn layer on the 2000s timetable, meaning it is no longer a requirement to access that gameplay, and it is included by default.

The BR 110 from Bremen - Oldenburg also adds variety, alongside the 'Karlsruher Kopf' KaKo cab car. These services will be running to and from Bad Wildbad, in shorter, more localised runs that provide a distinct change of pace from the mainline.

For the thrill seekers, the ICE 3M from Pfälzische Ludwigsbahn layers in, and features two full-length runs across the line as well as appears near Stuttgart throughout the day. Similarly, the non-expert DB BR 101 makes an appearance with two full-length runs of its own, providing long-distance expresses, as well as shunting movements into Stuttgart with the BR 363.

Freight action doesn't stop despite the time travel, although it's almost exclusively handled by diesel traction. Shuttle cargo across the route in the BR 363, with the DB BR 294 substituting in if you own it. A most unique set of services await owners of Rhein-Ruhr Osten, where you get to drive a contrasting combo of DB BR 140 and MRCE BR 185 traction, including a service where one drives right into Stuttgart Hbf itself!

Finally, the BR 425 adds some services between Stuttgart and Bietigheim-Bissingen, and an AI-only BR 425 makes an appearance on the infrequent RB11 at Kornwestheim, only at peak-time.

The DB BR 628 from Niddertalbahn also appears as AI at Heilbronn, and there will also be additional AI-only services adding traffic around Stuttgart, including:

• ICE 1 from Kassel - Würzburg

• ICE-T from Frankfurt - Fulda

• ÖBB 1116 from Semmeringbahn

• FlixTrain BR 193

• DB BR 442 from Köln - Aachen Remastered

Train Sim World 6: DB BR 147 is releasing on 31st March 2026 for Epic Games Store and Steam, and coming soon on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 for £14.99/€17.99/$17.99.
