ZDSimulator: ED2t Electric Train

The ED2t Electric Train DLC for ZDSimulator was developed and published by the ZDSimulator Team and released on 6 December 2025. It is available for Windows and requires the base ZDSimulator game to play. There are no alternative console or non‑Windows ports listed for this DLC.

This DLC introduces the ED2t, a regional electric train model designed for suburban and local passenger operations under 3 kV DC electrification. It features a fully functional driver’s cab with realistic controls, a speedometer, safety systems, and braking mechanics including pneumatic and electropneumatic options. The train can reach speeds up to around 120 km/h, and the current sound set is a temporary implementation with a promise of an update to more realistic audio. The DLC is suitable for both daily driving and for route creators looking to expand their network with a regional EMU.

Promotion was primarily via the Steam store page, highlighting the technical specifications, cab functionality, and operational systems of the train. There was no broader marketing campaign; this approach aligns with ZDSimulator’s typical incremental DLC releases that focus on functional realism for enthusiasts rather than mass-market appeal. The DLC integrates with free ride, scenario mode, multiplayer, and the level editor, ensuring full compatibility with the simulator’s standard features.

Reception is still developing since the DLC is very new and currently has no Steam user reviews. Community discussion on forums and social media indicates interest among simulation fans who value electric train variety, particularly for suburban and regional services. Players note that operating realistic systems like the ED2t can be challenging, but the DLC is expected to appeal strongly to dedicated fans seeking a technically detailed and authentic simulation experience.
