Train Simulator: RhB Enhancement Pack 01 is an add-on for Train Simulator that lets you drive the UNESCO-liveried RhB Ge 4/4 III locomotive no. 650, ‘Seewis im Prättigau’, on the Albula Line. Its light blue body features a depiction of a train crossing the Landwasser Viaduct, while most of its front remains red. The pack includes an EW II coach consist, freight wagons and three career scenarios for the St Moritz–Thusis route.

The Ge 4/4 III

RhB developed the Ge 4/4 III with Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works (SLM) and ASEA Brown Boveri (ABB), beginning in 1989. The locomotives use three-phase AC electric technology and GTO Thyristors. The first, no. 641, left the production line at the end of 1993 and entered service on December 3 of that year; 11 more entered service between 1994 and 1999.

The Ge 4/4 III fleet is the principal motive power on the Albula Railway, hauling both passenger and freight trains through the mountains. It also pulls the Glacier Express. Locomotive 650 received its UNESCO livery to mark the Albula Line’s designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in July 2008.

Passenger and freight stock

The pack includes Einheitswagen II (EW II) coaches, introduced in 1975 with more spacious seating, ventilation, heating and tinted double-glazed windows. Their pressed aluminium bodies reduce weight and increase strength. The ‘A’ variant has First Class seating throughout, while the ‘B’ variant has standard seating; baggage cars carry passengers’ luggage and bikes, and some are fitted with a pantograph to supply heating and air conditioning.

Freight stock includes ‘Sp-w’ flat cars in clean and rusty timber variations, used for carrying roundwood, and ‘Za’ tank wagons in clean and rusty variations. Each Za tanker can carry up to 39,000 litres, or 33 tonnes, of petroleum.

Driving and operations

The locomotive has accurate driving characteristics and a dynamic pantograph-height system. Coaches have customisable destinations; their windows drop automatically in daytime when the weather is good, and their lights vary according to the time of day and current use.

The pack also includes Temporary Speed Restriction signage. During track maintenance, temporary magnets warn drivers of an upcoming restriction and its speed limit; once the rear of the train has passed the restricted section, normal operating speed can resume.

Career scenarios

The pack includes three career scenarios for the Albula Line: St Moritz–Thusis route:

• GEX Zermatt Transfer
• Oil Delivery to Samedan
• Saturday Ski Service

The pack is also Quick Drive compatible.
