TSW5 Gameplay Add-On Bundle

^{Previously TSW has received gameplay packs in the form of the "New Journeys" Add-ons and numerous Locomotive/DMU/Emu add-on bundles, this new bundle consists of three packs for TSW5's core routes, each of which can be purchased separately.}

^{So what are the new packs for Train Sim World 5? (I hear you ask.)}

^{Metrolink Holiday Train Pack for San Bernardino Line‍}

^{HKA Bogie Hopper Wagon Pack for West Coast Main Line (South)}

^{DB BR 111 & n-Wagen Pack for Frankfurt - Fulda}

‍^{Metrolink Holiday Train Pack}

^{Featuring a Christmas-themed train and decorated stations, the San Bernardino Metrolink route has never looked better. This pack supplies additional services and Scenarios along the San Bernardino Line with Metrolink’s mighty F125 locomotive and its Rotem passenger cars, all adorned with festive lights.}

^{The F125 is the regular workhorse of the Metrolink fleet, along with the Rotem cab car that leads the return journey in this push-pull formation. Although this consist has never been used in real life as yet, apparently Metrolink plan to use the F125 on forthcoming Holiday train services.}

‍^{Should you be feeling seasonal you can also of course use TSW5's  Free Roam mode to take the Holiday Train along other routes in your collection any time of the year...}

‍^{HKA Bogie Hopper Wagon Pack}

^{For variety in freight movements beyond the Intermodal trains included in the stock route, the HKA wagons are used to carry aggregates (and formerly coal) and come with updated suspension physics as seen in other Train Sim World 5 wagons and locomotives.}

^{Originally built as JMA wagons in 1995, the classification was changed to HKA in 2009 to mark their swap from being coal wagons to aggregate wagons – they look grungy and extremely well-used in the livery of National Power, their original and long-defunct owner.}

^{The wagons come with 3 additional Scenarios and can also be used in Free Roam, Formation Designer and Scenario Planner to facilitate their use across other UK route Add-ons in your collection. Free Starter Pack players can also use these Wagons using Free Roam in Training Center with the grey TC Class 66.}

‍^{DB BR 111 & n-Wagen Pack} 

^{This latest German DLC allows you to swap out classic traction between Frankfurt and Fulda with the DB BR 111 and compatible n-Wagen cab car.}

‍^{The BR 111 (previously seen in the Salzburg – Rosenheim route Add-on) has been a regular feature on Germany’s railway network since the 1970s on both S-Bahn and InterCity services. It utilises a tap changer control system with both manual and semi-automatic input, and brings a different style of operation to that seen on contemporary locomotives. Driving a tap changer requires patience and skill to master, and makes it a real "Marmite" control system –you might like it but you'll probably hate it!}

‍^{Also included is the retro n-Wagen (previously seen in the Bremen – Oldenburg route Add-on), a single-deck fleet of passenger coaches complete with Karlsruher Kopf cab car.}

‍^{On the Frankfurt – Fulda route, this locomotive functions with the older n-Wagen set and its cab car for a different style of service as part of an alternative timetable, replacing the BR 114 and more modern BR 146 & Dostos on RB and RE services. 3 new Scenarios are also included.}

‍^{These new Gameplay Packs add substantial content to TSW5's three core routes, with more rolling stock, more services and some Christmas-related scenarios. The three Gameplay Add-on Packs are available now on PC via Steam and Epic, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and can be purchased separately for £4.99/€5.99 or as a Gameplay Add-on Bundle for £11.99/€13.99.}

^{TSW5 is currently available on Game Pass, so that's the easiest way of getting the core routes required to use the aforementioned Gameplay Packs.}
