Acheter Train Sim World 5: DB BR 155 Loco Add-On PC

Haul heavy freight across Germany's rail network with the DB BR 155 electric locomotive in this Train Sim World 5 simulation add-on. Born from mid-1960s demands for electrification and post-war replacements, the six-axle Co'Co' design evolved from DR prototypes in the 1970s to DB renumbering after reunification. Railfans know it as the "Electric Container," perfect for fast container trains on high-speed lines and Ruhr-Sieg Nord routes. Master authentic controls like thyristor phase change throttle, blended air brakes, traction motor blowers, pantograph operation, and safety systems including SIFA and PZB 90. Adjust the driving position height in detailed cabs, tackle three scenarios plus a tutorial, and run services on Ruhr-Sieg Nord or Main-Spessart Bahn. Simulation enthusiasts who crave precise locomotive handling and era-specific freight operations will find a nostalgic fit.

As freight demands and the spread of electrification grew throughout the mid-1960s, it became apparent that Deutsche Reichsbahn’s current fleet of freight locomotives were no longer up to the task alone; not only that, but motive power which pre-dated the Second World War was in dire need of replacement. This meant a new electric locomotive was needed.

DR were after a six-axle locomotive that could easily haul any form of rolling stock, be that freight or passenger, and other features such as a light steel body and ergonomic driver’s cab were also part of the plans. The new Co’Co’ locomotives were given the title of “E 51” and construction of the first prototypes began in the early 1970s. By the time of their completion in 1974, the prototypes had been designated as the DR BR 250.

Following the reunification of Germany in 1994, the DR BR 250s were renumbered under Deutsche Bahn’s reclassification system and become known as the DB BR 155s. Following this, the BR 155s could be seen all over the German rail network, hauling a wide variety of freight services, including fast container trains on the high-speed lines.

The “Electric Container”, as it’s affectionately known to railfans, has stood the test of time and you can take to the rails hauling heavy freight with a nostalgic twist, as the iconic DB BR 155 is now available for Train Sim World® for enticing Ruhr-Sieg Nord action!

Please Note: Train Sim World®: Ruhr-Sieg Nord is required, as a separate purchase, in order to utilise the content featured in this add-on.
