Train Simulator: RhB Enhancement Pack 02

The RhB Enhancement Pack 02 for Train Simulator Classic was developed by Thomson Interactive and published by Dovetail Games, released as part of the simulator’s growing collection of Swiss narrow-gauge content. This pack focused on expanding the range of locomotives and rolling stock available for use on the Rhätische Bahn (RhB) network, designed to complement the Arosa Line route add-on. Like its predecessor, the pack offered high levels of detail and realism, with authentic modelling and sounds that captured the unique character of Swiss metre-gauge railways.

At the heart of the pack was the Ge 4/4 II electric locomotive, one of the most iconic and widely used engines on the RhB. Represented in multiple liveries, including the standard red RhB scheme and special promotional designs, it brought variety and authenticity to gameplay. These locomotives were renowned for their versatility in real life, handling both passenger and freight duties across the network, and the in-game version reflected that adaptability. A selection of passenger coaches and freight wagons was also included, giving players the tools to operate a wide range of services on the Arosa Line and beyond.

The pack also featured a number of scenarios specifically designed for the Arosa Line route, making full use of the new rolling stock and providing challenging runs through the steep gradients, tight curves, and scenic landscapes of the Swiss Alps. Players could experience both passenger and freight operations, testing their ability to manage power and braking on demanding terrain. The attention to detail in the scenarios reflected real-world operations, contributing to the authenticity and immersion of the overall package.

Reception to the RhB Enhancement Pack 02 was very positive, with players praising the accuracy of the locomotives, the quality of the sounds, and the inclusion of a variety of rolling stock. It built on the strong reputation of the first RhB Enhancement Pack, offering more depth for fans of Swiss railways and expanding the possibilities of Train Simulator Classic. Its combination of high-quality assets, challenging operations, and scenic backdrops made it a favourite among enthusiasts of both European and mountain railway simulation.
