a very disappointing add on [Posted on 2003-05-28]
I had great expectations after playing German Railroads 1 (see my review there) in this add on and I am deeply disappointed. Here is some of the main flaws: A lot of the sound is not authentic but copied from the North East Corridor - including the flawed audio when the train is stopped and you still hear driving sounds. AI trains come the opposite directions with no headlights on. The CAB display (aka MCD or LZB) has not been implemented. The manual says to use the track monitor - what a joke. If you like high speed trains - save your money on this one and drive the TGV for free instead (look for LGV Med 2 on various TS related sites).
I played for about 1 hour and I don't think I will spend more time with this add on.

High Speed FUN! BIG TIME! [Posted on 2006-03-21]
Man this add on is the best! If you like modern rail stuff like I do you won't be disappointed at all. It's realistic and challenging. I just love it!
This is an enjoyable add-on [Posted on 2006-05-14]
I had read the previous reviews here and it kept me from buying this, and sadly I paid attention to them. This is an enjoyable add-on and worth the buy. It includes another line and the trains are enjoyable to drive.
