Here it is, the work of several years has finally been completed! There are a lot of changes compared to IKB3.5, everything is in the manual.
In short, this is: signalling and catenary rework, new SFS branch, new vegetation, but you will find out more in the manual!
An important note is now not just an improvement of the default route while maintaining the functionality of the scenarios, but a clone for which new scenarios are needed. Not all scenarios for the old route will be able to be launched by simply transferring files to a new folder, you may have to rebuild some routing rules, etc. I have included two scenarios with the route, I hope the scenariobuilders will enjoy working with my route upgrade, I am open to suggestions for further improvements.

1.0 First release
22.09.25 13:41 Fast hotfix with correction in dependencies in manual and in Freight to Hoch Merzburg scenario
23.09.25 – Hotfix, corrected error with broken superelevation near Renckensfeld-am-See, added Quick Drive scenarios (so far, there is no traffic, I haven't tested all the options, but trip via SFS works well, I don't think there will be a problem with others.), deleted a couple of old assets that are no longer available. Manual updated with more images and small corrections.
2.0 A lot of changes, read the manual, better reinstall route completely.
3.0 A lot of changes again, manual updated and a bit more detailed.
28.10.25 Minor fix, added missing assets, you can download it separately instead of downloading the entire archive again.

Thank you for all your hard work for the last 3 years, it is a superb effort and enhances the original route, which has always been a favourite layout from SAD, well done. Greetings from England.

Schönes Update aber leider Fehlt mir der Tunnel der SFS und die Bahnsteige in Altenburg obwohl ich alles installiert habe
Forza Gamer 777
I have not made any changes to the platforms, for sure, this is the basic asset of the original route.

Good morning, thank you very much for the great route update. I really like the idea of the extended high-speed route. Now you can take the ICE along the route to Hoch Merzburg. Very nice. Best regards, Chris

Great work, and a valuable addition to TS Classic. It's a shame that the branch line leading to the second section of the high-speed track was designed so awkwardly. I don't understand why you didn't use the existing tunnel..
Forza Gamer 777
What kind of existing tunnel are we talking about? Oh, I get what tunnel you're talking about... Well, the point was to add a new tracks, but not to rebuild the old too much. Anyway, now I've already redone everything and Bad Rinkenburg has become completely different. Patch will be soon

Thank you,I would love to make a donation. Can you provide a link?
Forza Gamer 777
I am from Russia, so I can only provide Russian payment methods like the same Yoomoney (with a little commission). I don't know if you'll be able to pay anything at all, since the sanctions and all that...

Taurus1016.2

Thanks for your work. I will be checking this route out later tonight. Besides all the changes you´ve made, does this also include the branchline from the Steuerwagen Schmiede? I assume some, as it´s a requierment.
Forza Gamer 777
of course yes, otherwise it would be very stupid
tom87
very big network. Nice.

Das fehlende Objekt
"Assets\Kuju\RailSimulator\Enhance\tluamiani\Common\Scenery\Clutter\ACE_ConstructionBarrier.bin"
ist im "Scotland West Asset Pack" enthalten, das es hier gibt:
"Assets\Kuju\RailSimulatorCore\Lights\AP\Bath_Temp_Bath_Station_canopy.bin" ist aus dem "AP_Station_Lighting_Enhancement_Pack" von 2011 - leider nicht mehr zu bekommen.
Und nach diesem elenden Bagger suche ich auch schon lange (G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\RailWorks\Assets\Kuju\RailSimulator\RailNetwork\Interactive\Bagger.bin)
Wer einen Tipp hat - gerne!
Bevor ich es vergesse: danke für die wunderbare Strecke!
Forza Gamer 777
All these are most likely requirements from IKB3 Steuerwagen Schmiede, because I can say for sure that I have never used any of these assets.

Sehr schöne Strecke @'Forza Gamer 77, bin zwar eigentlich kein Freund von fiktiven Strecken, aber das hier ist, wunderbar geworden.

Forza Gamer 777
thank you so much for this list, now I know exactly what I didn't find myself when I compiled the list of requirements. It's clear from 3DZUG, I forgot to just add the real people pack there, but I need to search for Czech trees. But according to Gleisende1435_Braun_TU_0002.bin I don't know, I have to look for it too
Forza Gamer 777
Regarding EZY, I didn't know there was an update in the summer, so I had the old version of the package. I'm going to download a new one now and see if everything goes well. If not, I'll fix it with the nearest hotfix.
Forza Gamer 777
fixed, I have re-uploaded the route and the document. I added links to requirements in the document, corrected links to the old real people package in the route in the scenario and replaced them with a new one, removed the requirement for Gleisende1435_Braun_TU_0002.bin from the map.
AlexG1
Vielen Dank für die neue Datei.
Jetzt ist alles da, lediglich das "Gleisende1435_Braun_TU_0002.bin" wird noch als fehlend angezeigt.
Gruß Alex
Forza Gamer 777
I understand, thanks for the information, it means that it hasn't changed everywhere, now I'll try to do it through TS Tools, not with my hands, it will be included in the next hotfix.

Mit der Version 4.0 wurde die Dateistruktur einiger Signaldateien geändert. Signaldateien wie die überflüssig gewordenen Signale So 2L2T wurden entfernt und sind nicht mehr im Paket enthalten. Weiterhin wurde…

Great effort.
But, you should really find a replacement for the aforementioned
Kuju\RailSimulatorCore\Lights\AP\Bath_Temp_Bath_Station_canopy.bin
as I doubt anybody has this asset and it is very likely from the pre-TSX (DynamicLights) era. It somehow got into your RailSimulatorCore, source unknown, but you shouldn't use it. (Best to edit its blueprint Category field to "eExcludeFromBrowserList" so you cannot use it in the Editor because it makes little sense placing assets that nobody can get hold of.)
Forza Gamer 777
Don't worry about this, if this asset was installed anywhere, it was accidentally, a long time ago and once, at the moment I deleted it through TS Tools so that no one would have any questions.
