RHEINGOLD 1928
The aim: to divert international rail traffic between Great Britain, the Netherlands and Switzerland onto its own tracks.
The solution: The Rheingold!
Wishing to be competitive and to bring money into its own country, the German National Railway acquired a few Pullman cars with the intention of creating a very special train in 1928. The Rheingold soon became genuine competition for the luxury trains of the CIWL. Consisting of First Class, Second Class and a baggage car, this train indeed provided a luxury that was on a par with the famous Orient Express. High quality cuisine ensured that passengers' well-being never fell short.
Having a nostalgic streak here at 3DZUG, we are bringing the luxurious Rheingold back into service. In the process we gave all wagons, both inside and out, a very realistic finish. All the wagons feature passenger views that are likely to be the most elaborate that have ever been realised. They are also completely accessible, whether you wish to enter First Class, the kitchen, Second Class or the baggage and customs area. For the first time after almost 100 years it is now possible to experience the train in its original glory.
Immerse yourself in a bygone railway era with five elaborately designed wagons - all with passenger view - as well as four scenarios. Realistic sounds, animated brakes and connected coupling and tubes complement this add-on.

ORIENT EXPRESS
The 'King of Trains' or the 'Train of Dreams'– everybody knows the Orient Express!
What is not so commonly known, however, is that it was not merely a single train; the Orient Express consisted of several luxury trains and had its peak period in the 1920s of the previous century. The enormous network linked Europe from Amsterdam to Constantinople (today known as Istanbul), so let us whisk you away to this fascinating time of departure for new shores and extravagance in our Orient Express.
Developed using cutting-edge technology, you can travel back through time with us to the 1920s. Experience first hand what it meant to travel on the Orient Express, with its luxurious wagons and wealthy passengers.
As well as the realistic sleeper, this pack also includes the restaurant and the baggage wagon. The trains have the CIWL livery for Era 1 and Era 2 and it goes without saying that they feature the original destination signs from Amsterdam to Constantinople. Thanks to the resource-conserving modelling, both external and passenger view feature a very high level of detail without any adverse effect on performance.
Enlarge your fleet with this unique and unrivalled gem. Take a seat in the restaurant and listen to classical music brought to you by the piano player. Leave the Here and Now behind for a moment and experience the special flair of the past. Drive the unique Orient Express Era 1 and 2 for the first time in the Train Simulator - the legend awaits you!
