Content Up Ahead
DB BR 147 Releasing This Thursday!
Get ready for more German traction arriving to Train Sim World 6 from the Dovetail Games team with the DB BR 147 locomotive, with a modern timetable twist for Frankenbahn: Stuttgart-Heilbronn.
We initially postponed the release and showcase stream for the 147, but now that the Stuttgart patch has been released, we're happy to confirm that the new release date for the 147 will be Thursday 9th April 2026 - that's this Thursday! Community Manager Jan will be being joined by Technical Producer Lukas and special guest Trainsa for a showcase livestream to coincide with the launch on Thursday, too.
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.
