The Train Motion vehicles are excellent, but so are the prices. For a Z2 pack over 40.-€ the double-decker pack almost 50.-€. I wonder who can afford that in Romania?
I get the suspicion there are "special prices" for Western Europe *think*
It's just speculation, but probably hardly anyone in Romania will (want to/can) afford it.
I'm also pretty sure that this is a "target group-oriented" price, knowing full well that many, especially Germans, so pay it.
I also suspect that this is why, with the Alex cars and the new old Dostos, extra cars were built that specifically appeal to the German public.
By Romanian standards, there shouldn't be a bad turnover.
Anyway, it would all make sense, right?

Hello, I see a lot of comments regarding the price here.
As we posted on our Facebook page, for the Dostos Full Pack (18 cars), the price/car is 2.34€, which is less than other developers.
If we made smaller packs then some would probably ask "Why isn't that paint scheme/variation there?" as in the case of the Sputnik car without the DB "biscuit", if we do larger packs, the price is too big..
Please take into consideration the details of the body, bogie, passenger view (it has cameras in the whole interior which as far as we know is a very rare feature among doubledecker cars in any train simulator), sounds, plus other fine details.
Not to mention that these are vintage cars, so making an accurate replica of them requires extra research, especially regarding the body textures so that it looks as real as possible.
A good example of extra research involved is the Bautzen Z2 "Komfortwagen" cars of which there are very few photos of the interior, but they were still done for Train Simulator and in a realistic fashion.
Speaking of the "extra" Z2 cars, of which you say that we are making them just for the "extra money", no, this is not the reason. The reason was to complete the Z2 pack because the "Komfortwagen" and the prototypes were not available for Train Simulator. And yes these products are made for you, the German public, but not from a price perspective as I explained above. The RO public is not as interested although they bought the packs too.
Also, because you ask if anyone in Romania could afford these prices, we also have Romanian modernized doubledeckers on our site which is a 12-car pack with a price/ car of 3.33€, which Romanians appreciated and bought. As you can see, the German Full Pack has a better price/car ratio.
I hope this will bring some light on the matter as this will be our last comment about the price that we put on our work. We hope that you understand that, and focus on the more positive things we hardly created for you to enjoy.
Cheers,
Alex
