Service Introduction:
D 1205 is an express train (schnellzug) service from Koln to Roma Termini in Italy. This train departs Koln at 19.30 and will arrive in Roma Termini at 11.40 the next afternoon.
The journey will take approximately 16 hours and 7 minutes. This evening, you’ll drive this service only as far as Koblenz, where another driver will take over the journey to Swiss and Italy.
Important notes for this scenario:
- This scenario is using 1996 timetable I got from fernbahn.de website. All long distance services
and IR service are using real timetables except for the Regional, Sbahn, and Freight services. - I include train service names in the scenario so you will know which train is which.
- Train formations are from vagonweb and fernbahn.de and I will try to make it as accurate as
possible. - The maximum permitted speed for this service is 140 km/h.
- The timetable at Bonn station is a bit tight so you have just to drive at your best ability. Good luck, it’s still achieveable.
- Thank you for downloading this scenario and I hope you enjoy it as much as I creating it.
- If you found any errors please do not hesitate to leave your comment on my profile at railsim.de or the scenario comment section.
- Please do leave a positive feedbacks or constructive criticism for the sake of my improvements on creating future scenarios.

Yoe made an mistake in the readme, not the "FS UIC-Z Coaches" are needed, but the "Intercity old v1.1 Pack" from the same side are needed.

Thank you for the correction. It is now fixed

Just some hints regarding the rolling material between Köln and Koblenz: no class 141, few freight trains and these mostly with class 140. The terrain is flat so 6-achsle locos are not needed. The main freight line is on the eastern bank of the river. However, a 155 left Köln-Eifeltor at 19.53 with an international freight consisting of containers and/or trailers.
No class 143, no Dostos, only with S-Bahn 111 between Aachen and Bielefeld. 111 in o/b or orientred only with some Interregios.
Can't run this scenario at the moment due to missing rolling stock.

Thank you for those helpful advices. So it seems the freight and regional traffic wasn't really crowded at that time of the year according to your descriptions?
DB-Freund
That's right. The points of origin and destination of most mixed freights (heavy and slow=80kmh) were the yards of (Köln-)Gremberg in the north (near Troisdorf) and Mainz-Bischofsheim in the south. Köln-Eifeltor was a Containerterminal and these trains were fast (90-100kmh) and ran on the left bank of the Rhine. As there ran at certain times as many as 3 ICs/ICEs within a few minutes south- and northbound together with regional services, there wasn't much space for freights.
This changed with the opening of the fast route between Köln and Frankfurt. The fast traffic on the left side decreased and some more freights were shifted to the route we have in TS.

I see, it all make sense now. That certainly will be put into consideration for future scenarios. Thank you very much for the inputs and a little bit of history lesson
