Train Simulator: Nürnberg – Donauwörth

The Nürnberg – Donauwörth Add-On for Train Simulator was developed by RSSLO and published by Dovetail Games. It was released on 29th January 2026 as an expansion for Train Simulator Classic, adding a modern German main line route to the simulator’s extensive catalogue. The DLC focuses on a key section of Bavaria’s rail network and is designed to integrate with existing German rolling stock and scenarios available within the Train Simulator ecosystem.

The add-on recreates the railway between Nürnberg and Donauwörth, a busy corridor used by a mix of long-distance passenger, regional and freight services. Players can experience high-speed running alongside slower traffic, reflecting real-world operations on this important route. The line is presented with detailed scenery, authentic track layouts and signalling, aiming to capture the feel of contemporary German rail operations and provide a varied driving experience across different service types.

Promotion for the Nürnberg – Donauwörth route followed the standard approach used for Train Simulator DLC. It was primarily advertised through its store listing and inclusion in new release announcements aimed at the existing Train Simulator community. Marketing focused on the length of the route and its operational variety, appealing to players with an interest in German railway content rather than attempting to reach a broader audience outside the simulation genre.

As the add-on was released only recently, there has not yet been time for Steam user reviews to build up and provide a clear overall rating. Early impressions are therefore expected to come from Train Simulator forums and community discussions, where players typically comment on route accuracy, performance and how well new content complements existing stock. Initial community interest has centred on the appeal of another modern German main line, with fuller feedback likely to emerge as more players spend time exploring the route.
