Train Sim World 6: BR 194 & E94 Railtour Pack

The Train Sim World 6: BR 194 & E94 Railtour Pack is a downloadable content release developed by TrainSim-Germany (TSG) and published by Dovetail Games in 2025. This add-on brings a pair of legendary German electric locomotives to the simulation — the BR 194, nicknamed the “German Crocodile,” and the preserved E94 088. It is presented as a TSW Compatible release, originally developed for an earlier version of Train Sim World, meaning that while it integrates with the latest platform, it retains the authentic detail and systems depth of its previous build. The DLC serves as both a historical showcase and a practical addition to the game’s expanding roster of heritage rolling stock.

In terms of content, the pack includes two versions of the iconic locomotive — a 1980s-era BR 194 and the heritage-preserved E94 variant — as well as a set of new wagons such as the Byg 516 Umbauwagen, Gbs freight stock, and updates to Falns 183 wagons. Players gain access to a dedicated 1984 timetable for the Linke Rheinstrecke route, alongside scenarios for both that line and the Pfälzische Ludwigsbahn route. These scenarios blend traditional freight duties with preserved railtour operations, giving the DLC a wide range of appeal for fans of historical and modern operations alike. Both locomotives can also be used freely within Free Roam, Scenario Planner, Livery Designer, and the Creators Club.

Promotion of the BR 194 & E94 Railtour Pack was handled through Dovetail Games’ official Train Sim World channels, including feature articles, community updates, and developer posts highlighting the craftsmanship of TrainSim-Germany’s work. The marketing placed particular emphasis on the authenticity of the locomotives’ sound and physics, as well as the historical importance of the E94 — one of Germany’s most enduring pieces of electric traction. Additionally, it was noted that part of the proceeds from the DLC would go toward supporting the preservation of E94 088 in real life, adding a sense of purpose and community involvement to the release.

Reception to the pack has been mixed but generally positive among long-time Train Sim World players. While some noted that the “compatible” tag meant the DLC didn’t take full advantage of the newest graphical or mechanical features of Train Sim World 6, others praised its attention to realism, nostalgic appeal, and the inclusion of multiple scenarios across different eras. Critics and players alike have commended the sound design, detailed cab interiors, and the immersive feel of operating these powerful locomotives across scenic German routes. Minor issues such as tutorial bugs and control quirks were pointed out, but the consensus remains that the BR 194 & E94 Railtour Pack stands as a strong addition for enthusiasts of classic German electric traction.
