We're back for another update, and for those joining us for the first time, this article is a monthly check-in that continues the conversation between our teams and all of you for what to expect beyond the launch from both us and our partners, including brand new add-on announcements, new updates and details, sneak peeks on our current routes in-development, more ways for you to get involved with our community and challenging yourself with new mastery rewards available in-game and any key information that you'll need to know.\n\nEarlier in October, we also outlined a summary of our plan for improvements coming to TSW6, and we'll continue to outline what this plan looks like, so you can stay informed about what improvements and key fixes are headed your way, and what we're focussing on. We're listening to all the feedback across our communities, and working with our leaders in all groups to build targetting patches that directly improve your experience.\n\nBe sure to join us for our **[November 2025 Roadmap Livestream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9ZauCvkwDk)** tomorrow (Thursday, November 6th at 19:00 UTC), hosted by our Executive Producer of Trains and Senior Community Manager, where we’ll discuss all of the points below, and answer your questions live!\n\n### Free Starter Pack Last Chance - Ending November 11th\n\nWe’ve loved sharing our newest Free Starter Pack this year, giving so many people the opportunity to try Train Sim World for the first time, or existing players a chance to upgrade to TSW6 and bring across your compatible content! If you've yet to update, be sure to claim the pack and jump in, with more updates and improvements supported, and making use of the new SD-40 in the Training Center available to everyone for free.\n\n![TSW6_Free_Play_Static_1920x1080](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/102025/10/TSW6_Free_Play_Static_1920x1080.png)\n\nThere's only a few final days to pick-up the Free Starter Pack before it goes away on **November 11th** next week. Once you claim, it will stay in your account to play forever, and it will be your way to access the latest improvements and features, and purchase new TSW6 content, like the upcoming Stuttgart-Heilbronn route!\n\nFor more information on the Free Starter Pack, please read our **[Train Sim World 6 FAQs](https://support.dovetailgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/29015339200914-Train-Sim-World-6-FAQ)**.\n\n### Our New Dovetail Support Website\n\nWith the launch of Train Sim World 6, we also set our new support website live, full of detailed guides, support pages and websites you can access to answer any questions you have!\n\nFeel free to browse some key links below, and as a reminder, our older website hosted via Freshdesk will no longer load as this has been replaced. \n\n* **[Train Sim World 6 FAQs](https://support.dovetailgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/29015339200914-Train-Sim-World-6-FAQ)**\n* **[Downloading Add-on Guide](https://support.dovetailgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/28572768982290-How-to-Download-Add-ons-for-Train-Sim-World-6)**\n* **[TSW6 Getting Started Guide](https://support.dovetailgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/28572759077394-Getting-Started-with-Train-Sim-World-6-Guide)**\n* **[Dovetail Games Support Website](https://support.dovetailgames.com/)**\n\n## Content Up Ahead\n\nFirstly, we wanted to talk development on the add-ons we're developing from our own teams before we dive into the content from our range of partner development teams.\n\n### **Frankenbahn: Stuttgart – Heilbronn from Dovetail Games**\n\nWelcome back to another update for Frankenbahn: Stuttgart – Heilbronn, a new southwest German route coming from our teams set in the 2000s era, and featuring the new DB BR 140 and New Wittenberger Steuerwagen cab car!\n\nFor today's update, we'll be focussing more on the included stock that you'll be able to drive, as well as details on the new features you can expect!\n\nThe new DB BR 140 included with the route will offer yet more classic locomotive traction in Train Sim World, with features such as the single release brake. This can offer some challenging gameplay, managing the application and release, the latter of which can be triggered when the lever is placed one step down. The BR 140 will support a standard set of toggleable Train Faults.\n\n![OctRM-Stuttgart-BR140](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/OctRM-Stuttgart-BR140-WM-01.jpg)\n\n![OctRM-Stuttgart-BR140](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/OctRM-Stuttgart-BR140-WM-02.jpg)\n \nThe Wittenberger Cab Car adds equally classic passenger stock, with multiple control systems compatible with different types of locomotive. The development team are currently working on implementing these controls with different locomotives in-game, including the BR 218 diesel locomotive. We will confirm which locomotives will be able to function with this cab car closer to release.\n \nLike the BR 140, toggleable train faults will be implemented for the cab car, as will passenger announcements throughout the coaches.\n\n![OctRM-Stuttgart-Wittenburger](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/OctRM-Stuttgart-Wittenburger-WM-01.jpg)\n\nIn addition to the new DB BR 140 and Wittenberger Cab Car, the route Add-on will include the DB BR 111, n-Wagen coaches and DB BR 363.\n \nThis variant of the BR 111 and n-Wagen coaches will be updated to feature the following toggleable Train Faults:\n\n* Wiper Failures\n* Pantograph Failures\n* Circuit Breaker Failures\n* Handbrake Failures\n* Stuck Passenger Doors\n* Passenger Lighting failures\n\nSome minor bug fixes and improvements will also be made to this BR 111, n-Wagen coaches and BR 363 over previous versions.\n\nAs a final note, we can confirm this route will be developed for PC and Gen-9 consoles only (Available on Steam, Epic Games, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X). We'll keep updating you over the next few weeks as more information and screenshot become available to showcase!\n\n### **NEC New York – Stamford from Dovetail Games**\n\nWe also wanted to share a small update on our new US route, heading back to the Northeast Corridor with a new Metro North M8 EMU!\n\n![DD25-TAT-NewYorkStamford](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/DD25-TAT-NewYorkStamford.jpg)\n\nCurrently, our teams have just started working on the environment and track laying for the route, so it's a little early for screenshots and further information at this stage, but for those very keen about a new US adventure from our team, stay tuned over the next few months as we'll slowly start revealing new details and images as they become ready to share!\n\n## Train Sim World Partner Programme\n\nLet's now take a closer look at the incredible range of content we have coming for TSW6 from our wonderful third-party developers and partners.\n\n### Announcing the BNSF GP60M & GP60B from High Iron Simulations\n\nNow that we're approaching the final release of the Santa Fe Pack, which you can read about in our [**Santa Fe On Cajon Pass Gameplay Pack article**](https://live.dovetailgames.com/live/train-sim-world/articles/article/santa-fe-cajon-pass-coming-soon) we shared yesterday, the High Iron Simulations team are now looking ahead to announce some of their latest projects, this time introducing the distinctive “Super Fleet” GP60M and GP60B to Train Sim World 6!\n\n![BNSFGP60-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/BNSFGP60-Nov25RM-WM-01.jpg)\n\n**HIS:** \"The Electro-Motive GP60M and cabless sister GP60B were among the most distinctive and stylish of North America’s third-generation diesels – and this duo is soon coming to TSW6!\"\n\n![BNSFGP60-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/BNSFGP60-Nov25RM-WM-04.jpg)\n\n![BNSFGP60-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/BNSFGP60-Nov25RM-WM-05.jpg)\n\n\"Built by Electro-Motive in 1990-1991 at the request of the Santa Fe Railway to power the railroad’s “Super Fleet” intermodal trains, 63 3,800-horsepower GP60Ms equipped with wide-nose North American cabs were constructed along with 23 cabless GP60B booster units. Originally dressed in AT&SF’s legendary ”Warbonnet” livery, the GP60M/B fleet joined the roster of newly formed BNSF (Burlington Northern Santa Fe) in 1996, and the majority of the handsome and potent diesels remain in service today.\"\n\n![BNSFGP60-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/BNSFGP60-Nov25RM-WM-02.jpg)\n\n![BNSFGP60-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/BNSFGP60-Nov25RM-WM-06.jpg)\n\n\"This upcoming Locomotive Pack will deliver authentic and richly detailed renditions of the GP60M and GP60B in BNSF liveries. The GP60M will be included in BNSF “H2” and “H4” schemes, while the GP60B will wear BNSF’s “H1” livery. Joining the locomotives in the pack will be an all-new model of the railroad’s modern articulated “spine” intermodal car with trailer and container loads as well as an ex-Santa Fe GA-series ribbed-side three-bay covered-hopper in BNSF colors.\"\n\n![BNSFGP60-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/BNSFGP60-Nov25RM-WM-07_1.jpg)\n\n\"The GP60M and GP60B will be put to work in a realistic selection of main line and local timetabled services and scenarios on the TSW Cajon Pass Route, and will offer a robust selection of bonus scenarios on the San Bernardino Route.\"\n\n![BNSFGP60-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/BNSFGP60-Nov25RM-WM-09.jpg)\n\n\"The extraordinary Electro-Motive GP60M and GP60B in original Santa Fe red-and-silver Warbonnet livery as well as a “BNSF patched” edition of the Warbonnet livery will also become available in a forthcoming TSW Livery Pack.\"\n\n![BNSFGP60-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/BNSFGP60-Nov25RM-WM-03.jpg)\n\nGet ready to climb aboard one of North America’s most remarkable and notable contemporary diesels, with the upcoming TSW6 GP60M and GP60B from High Iron Simulations!\n\n### Santa Fe On Cajon Pass Gameplay Pack - Releasing November 13th 2025!\n\nAs mentioned above, be sure to catch the release of the Santa Fe On Cajon Pass Pack releasing next week on Thursday November 13th 2025.\n\n![Santa-Fe-Keyart](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/Santa-Fe-Keyart.jpg)\n\nExperience Californian railroading of the 1990s, and let the lavish colors of the ATSF repopulate the rugged Cajon Pass route during the final years of Santa Fe operations. Embark on a variety of duties with 2 classic examples of ATSF equipment; the C40-8W and SD40-2, in iconic Warbonnet and freight liveries.\n\n![Santa-Fe-Pack-WM-03](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/Santa-Fe-Pack-WM-03.jpg)\n\nThe pack also features three entirely new AT&SF freight cars and three existing TSW freight cars repainted in Santa Fe liveries.\n\n![Santa-Fe-Pack-WM-10](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/Santa-Fe-Pack-WM-10.jpg)\n\nRead all about the pack in full detail on our [**Santa Fe On Cajon Pass Gameplay Pack article**](https://live.dovetailgames.com/live/train-sim-world/articles/article/santa-fe-cajon-pass-coming-soon)\n\n### Avanti West Coast BR Class 805 from All Aboard Studios\n\nFollowing the launch of their first add-on into Train Sim World 6 with Birmingham-Crewe, the All Aboard Studios team are back for an update on the Class 805 currently in development. Let's hear from from their team about their progress and further details! \n\n![Class805-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/Class805-Nov25RM-WM-01.jpg)\n\n**AABS:** \"As we move closer to release, the Class 805 is now in its final stages of development and the team is excited to be adding another key piece to the modern look of the West Coast Main Line. Throughout testing the unit has brought a fresh and contemporary energy to the routes it serves. Its responsive traction, dual mode capability, newly captured 2024 audio and sharp Avanti styling all combine to give it a very present day feel. It has been designed to sit naturally within the modern railway and its arrival completes an important part of the current WCML picture.\"\n\n![Class805-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/Class805-Nov25RM-WM-02.jpg)\n\n![Class805-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/Class805-Nov25RM-WM-03.jpg)\n\n\"Alongside the 2025 timetable for WCML South, we are pleased to reveal that the Birmingham to Crewe route will also gain a full modern day twenty four hour timetable based on real operations in 2025. This does not replace the original 2019 version. Instead, it provides a completely different style of action that reflects how the route runs today. Liverpool services now turn back at Birmingham New Street, the Stoke loop service is represented through an AI shuttle that waits out on Stafford platform 6, and the much loved Class 390s between Crewe and Birmingham now call at Stafford with reduced wait times at Wolverhampton to better reflect the current pattern. The variety continues with broader freight representation, fresh railtour paths and a set of ECS moves that ensure there is always something new happening around you.\"\n\n![Class805-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/Class805-Nov25RM-WM-04.jpg)\n\n![Class805-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/Class805-Nov25RM-WM-05.jpg)\n\n\"The Class 805 sits naturally within this updated flow, strengthening the sense of a living, modern WCML without dominating the timetable. It contributes with a mix of short and long distance workings and regular depot movements to and from Oxley, helping the wider service pattern feel busy and up to date. West Midlands Railway continue to handle stopping and fast regional runs between Birmingham and Wolverhampton, LNWRs Class 350s manage their established semi fast pattern to Crewe, and Transport for Wales maintain their cross border movements in line with present day behaviour. A number of special workings also appear, including Class 47 tours and a recreation of the 2024 Class 323 farewell tour, each supported by unique empty stock activity.\"\n\n![Class805-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/Class805-Nov25RM-WM-06.jpg)\n\n\"Across the full twenty four hour period the timetable contains 2171 services in total with 510 of them driveable. It makes full use of modern stock where appropriate with some older traction retained where it improves the completeness and gameplay value of the timetable. And as with other routes, any layers that affect immersion can be disabled to suit player preference. The aim is simply to provide another fully organised, believable and contemporary timetable for Birmingham to Crewe that stands confidently alongside the new WCML South 2025 timetable.\"\n\n![Class805-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/Class805-Nov25RM-WM-07.jpg)\n\n\"With both routes now gaining their own modern day working patterns and the Class 805 tying the network together with its current intercity presence, the West Coast Main Line is about to feel more alive, more connected and more reflective of todays railway than ever before. We are excited for players to get their hands on the new BR Class 805 and its enhanced gameplay inclusions which give WCML fans even more to thrive on.\"\n\nThank you All Aboard Studios for the update this month, we look forward to sharing more information as we approach the end of the year, but for now let's head over to our friends at Just Trains for details on their two upcoming releases.\n\n### Transport for Wales Class 142 'Pacer' from Just Trains\n\nFirstly, we wanted to provide a less-wordy, more-screenshot-ty update on the TfW Class 142 add-on, coming for the Cardiff City Network route, as it gets closer to release!\n\n![Class142-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/Class142-Nov25RM-WM-01.jpg)\n\n![Class142-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/Class142-Nov25RM-WM-02.jpg)\n\nWe've provided various updates on this add-on in our past Roadmaps, which you can jump to with our links, from the [**announce in April**](https://live.dovetailgames.com/live/train-sim-world/articles/article/train-sim-world-5-roadmap-april-2025), **[142 modelling details](https://live.dovetailgames.com/live/train-sim-world/articles/article/train-sim-world-5-roadmap-may-2025)** and **[key timetable information](https://live.dovetailgames.com/live/train-sim-world/articles/article/train-sim-world-5-roadmap-october-2025)**, but we'll also provide a short summary below: \n\n![Class142-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/Class142-Nov25RM-WM-03.jpg)\n\n**Just Trains:** \"The Class 142 is arriving in its Transport for Wales livery, featuring LED Headlights, 2 leaf Bi-Fold doors, updated door open/close operating buttons, sanding equipment and additional key modelling details, such as the smash glass to access emergency door handle (non-operational), NRN (National Radio Network) and GSM-R antenna.\"\n\n![Class142-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/Class142-Nov25RM-WM-04.jpg)\n\n\"The timetable included is set in 2019 where the service pattern on the valley lines was quite different compared to how it is now. Instead of trains going from Coryton to Penarth the trains from Coryton instead went to Radyr (a journey much quicker by foot as it’s a U shape) and the Penarth trains instead go to Bargoed and Rhymney instead of Coryton.\"\n\n![Class142-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/Class142-Nov25RM-WM-07.jpg)\n\n\"Class 142’s run most of the valley line diagrams but in 2019 TfW had a couple of Class 37 diagrams with Mk2F’s running services up to Rhymney which you’ll be able to drive up to Heath High Level. The timetable will also be including Class 802’s, 150’s, 165’s and HST Castle sets for GWR traffic, 170’s and the once-a-day Class 220 for Crosscountry.\"\n\n![Class142-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/Class142-Nov25RM-WM-06.jpg)\n\n\"For the longer distance TfW services you’ll have Class 150’s in their Ex-ATW guise.\"\n\n![Class142-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/Class142-Nov25RM-WM-05.jpg)\n\nWe'll be sharing more details shortly about when you can expect to pick up this add-on, so be sure to follow our socials and latest news!\n\n### West Coast Main Line: Crewe–Preston from Just Trains\n\nThe Just Trains team are also continuing well with their development for the announced West Coast Main Line: Crewe–Preston add-on. \n\n![CrewP-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/CrewP-Nov25RM-WM-07.jpg)\n\nAs a reminder, this route will explore a busy section in North-West England, set in the 1980s, including the historic railway town of Crewe, as well as a multitude of branches which will allow you to explore a number of lesser-known areas, such as the Deepdale branch north of Preston. You'll be driving the Class 86/4 on high-speed Passenger and Freight runs between Preston and Crewe, as well as updated and improved Class 20/0 and 47/3 locomotives!\n\n![CrewP-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/CrewP-Nov25RM-WM-05.jpg)\n\nLet's hear from their team on the latest updates and screenshots:\n\n**Just Trains:** \"[We are] continuing to develop the upcoming West Coast Main Line - Crewe to Preston route, and we wanted to provide a new selection of Work-In-Progress screenshots illustrating the front end variations of the Class 47/3, along with an image of the updated cab, featuring the vital Slow Speed Control for MGR Coal Operations.\" \n\n![CrewP-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/CrewP-Nov25RM-WM-01.jpg)\n\n\"Along with the Class 47/3 we are also proud to display some images of the route itself, including Winsford Station, Salop Goods Junction Signal Box, Crewe Gresty Lane, Fiddlers Ferry Power Station, Warrington, Wigan Springs Branch TMD and Newton-Le-Willows station.\"\n\n![CrewP-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/CrewP-Nov25RM-WM-04.jpg)\n\n![CrewP-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/CrewP-Nov25RM-WM-02.jpg)\n\n![CrewP-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/CrewP-Nov25RM-WM-03.jpg)\n\n![CrewP-Nov25RM](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/CrewP-Nov25RM-WM-06.jpg)\n\nWe'll continue to be sharing more news from the Just Trains team as they share progress updates, and equally, if you're looking to read more from their own blogs, be sure to visit the **[Just Trains In Development Blog Page](https://www.justtrains.net/in-development)** for more information on both the Class 142 and Crewe-Preston route!\n\n### Cargo Line Volume 5: Nuclear from Skyhook Games\n\nAnnounced back in June this year, the Skyhook Games team have been working hard on the next edition to the popular Cargo Line series, this time they're going nuclear! Let's hear a quick summary of the pack and history for this add-on: \n\n**Skyhook Games:** \"Introducing the FNA-D Flask Carrier wagons and their perfect partner the Type 1 Class 20/3 diesel locomotive in an unbranded Oxford blue livery, this pack represents where, during 1994, Direct Rail Services (DRS) had the sole purpose of taking over rail-based handling of nuclear material from British Rail, eventually operated a fleet of 21 examples of the English Electric Type 1s, being significantly upgraded with long-range fuel tanks, group standard headlight clusters, high-impact windscreens and a complete cab rebuild before outshopping them in iconic Oxford Blue livery with fully yellow ends and red buffer beams.\"\n\n\"In the 2010s, it was identified that replacements were required new batch featured several major updates including exposed framing, different bogies, and the ability to carry a wider range of flask designs. Despite the reduction in nuclear power plants in the UK since the millennium, the FNA-Ds can still be seen in use across much of the UK.”\n\n![CGLV5-Nov25RM-WM-01](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/CGLV5-Nov25RM-WM-01.jpg)\n\nProgress is coming along very well from these couple screenshots, and just next week we'll be back with a full announce article for Cargo Line Volume 5, exploring all the details about the pack you could want to discover ahead of it release, and a wider ranges of new images!\n\n![CGLV5-Nov25RM-WM-02](https://media-cdn.dovetailgames.com/2025/112025/11/CGLV5-Nov25RM-WM-02.jpg)\n\n### BR Class 90 from Alan Thomson Simulation\n\nWe're coming back with all-new screenshots following our announcement of this new add-on from the ATS team last month, so let's hand over to them for more!\n\n**ATS:** \"Progress on the Class 90 Freight Pack for TSW6 continues at pace.

Whilst we don't have details of their release this month, we wanted to give you a chance to learn more about their team ahead of any announcements on the horizon!\n\n**Q: Tell us more about your studio/team! (And where people may have heard about you?)**\n\n\"Currently our team comprises of five people, but we will likely be expanding that in the future. Rather than speak for everyone on my team I’m going to let each of them say a little bit about themselves, and where you are likely to know them from.\"\n\n**Fawx (Adam):** \"People will know me from my previous timetable mods, and might have noticed I’ve gone quiet regarding those lately, this is why. I’m in charge of gameplay in our group, as well as signalling with Steve and some of the backend things.\"\n\n**Bescot (Steve):** \"I’ve been involved in train sim modding for a long time now! I was part of several teams creating routes and trains for a Japanese simulator called BVE, one of which was a fictional route network route called Network West Midlands. I was proud to have my London Underground Northern line route converted into a simulator at the London Transport Museum. More recently I've made a fair few mods for TSW and have been part of creating many EP packs for the game.\"\n\n**Charlie (Charlie):** \"People may have seen my name around the Train Sim Community website, publishing some of my own mods and collaborating on others. I’m in charge of train setup.\"\n\n**Jetwash (James):** \"Having fallen into train sims almost by accident around 2018 people may have seen my name around TSW, Train Sim Classic, the TSC site and the DTG forums for a number of years now. Over that period I’ve published a number of my own mods and collaborated on many others. I’m really proud of what we have achieved in a short space of time and am looking forward to this route breaking cover.\"\n\n**Spratty (Eddie):** \"Most people will know me on the Train Sim Community site for mods I've made for the PC users such as the Class 66 Megapack and the West Coast Main Line Enhancement Pack. I work on scenery 3d model creation.\"\n\n**Q: What is it that made you want to develop content for Train Sim World?**\n\n**Fawx (Adam):** \"Creating modded timetables made me want to do more, and get more involved with TSW, it was something I really enjoyed, so figured it was worth a shot.\"\n\n**Bescot (Steve):** \"Whilst making mods and enhancement packs for TSW I've made friends with some very talented people. It was the natural step from creating mods, and beta testing for DTG to create something from scratch.\"\n\n**Charlie (Charlie):** \"It wasn't long after I started modding that I felt like I wanted to take things further, as I often tried to push the boundaries of what was possible with just mods. I wanted to take what I learned and do it officially, while still continuing to learn even more with the support of DTG.\"\n\n**Jetwash (James):** \"After modding for a while I wanted to take things further, as I felt I’d rapidly reached the limit of what was possible. It was as much finding the right group of people to take on the challenge with as anything else.\"\n\n**Spratty (Eddie):** \"Having worked on both the standard base Unreal editor and the public TSW editor since getting into this community 5 years ago, my aspiration was to always create official content for Train Sim World, and with the help of a few talented individuals within the Train Sim Community, now was the chance to properly show what I could achieve with the skills that I've acquired.\"\n\n**Q: Finally, what part of the development process are you really enjoying?**\n\n**Fawx (Adam):** \"I do really enjoy creating timetables, it’s almost therapeutic at times when you get everything working together like a well oiled machine. The biggest thing that surprised me that I ended up enjoying was signalling. It’s a very logical system, and is quite rewarding to get right.\"\n\n**Bescot (Steve):** \"The teamwork, being able to come together seamlessly to solve issues between us has been a really good experience. The signalling work has also been interesting and I’ve enjoyed putting stations together. I initially said I'd concentrate on scenery, but since we starting work on our DLC I've been involved in most parts of the process.. I've learned a lot!\"\n\n**Charlie (Charlie):** \"I've found the loco development process in particular to be challenging at times but highly rewarding when it comes to seeing the results.\"\n\n**Jetwash (James):** \"I enjoy creating as accurate a representation of the real world in the simulated sphere as possible. Whilst attention to detail is my default position, I also want to create a sense of identity and feel about a place, so where a 1-to-1 recreation of the real world isn’t possible, the player is still in no doubt as to where they are.\"\n\n**Spratty (Eddie):** \"For me, learning new tips and tricks on how to streamline my workflow processes when creating the models & textures from scratch has been by far the most enjoyable thing I've learnt since starting this project.\"\n\nIt's great to get an insight from all the members of the group, and learn more about Firefly Simulations! We have so many partners working on add-ons for TSW, and they all come in various team sizes, spread in different regions across the world, and working on a huge variety of projects. I look forward to revealing more about what your team has been cooking up, possibly before the end of the year... Stay tuned!\n\n### Additional Add-ons In-Development\n\nAs a final note on this section, we have further add-ons progressing well from more partners, but we won't always share news on everything with each Roadmap article if there's no major updates at this stage. Some add-ons from recent roadmaps this includes are:\n\n* Liberec – Stará Paka from Vector Simulations\n* Lisbon – Setúbal from VirtuaVia360\n* Tadami Line from Union Workshop\n* Class 171 & 377/3 Pack from Rivet Games\n* Expert DB BR 145 from TSG\n* DB BR 420 from TSG\n* HST Farewell Tour from Grump Dog Games\n* GWE Remaster from Grump Dog Games\n\nWe're definitely excited to get more information about our new countries, but don't worry - no news doesn't mean progress has stopped, and we'll update you soon when we have more to reveal.\n\nWe do have some fun events planned for our final update before the end of the year - so get ready for a joyful season ahead!\n\n## Patches & Updates\n\n### Recent Train Sim World 6 Patches\n\n* [**TSW6 Core Update - October 10th**](https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/train-sim-world-6-game-update-10th-october.94537/) – The first major update to Train Sim World 6, bringing key improvements to highly reported community issues raised over the launch period, including fixes for the Riviera Line’s missing water textures, braking issues on the Class 220 and tweaks made to train faults.\n* [**Birmingham Crewe Hotfix - October 28th**](https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/wcml-birmingham-crewe-ps5-build-update.94806/) – A small update hotfix to improve memory issues and crashing on Birmingham Crewe following launch, alongside a few other key issues.\n* [**TSW6 Core Update - October 28th**](https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/train-sim-world-6-game-update-28th-october-2025.94991/) – Our next major update to Train Sim World 6, with improvements to profile transfers for PS4, announcements, further improvements to train faults and much, much more. This update also added the Fife Circle Sprinter timetable along with improvements for the Scotrail Class 158.\n\n### Upcoming Updates\n\nCurrently, our teams are working on the next set of updates for TSW6, with core updates planned to land every couple weeks (twice a month). In our update post a couple weeks back, we had originally planned our next update to land in the first week of November, but we're still working to make sure this is tested correctly and ready for you all before we send it out. \n\nWe're looking at the middle of next week, but please be aware these timelines may shift, and we'll keep you informed when we're able to confirm details.\n\n* **TSW6 Core Update #4** (ETA: Week of Nov 10th) - Our next scheduled core update, currently being tested by our teams and aiming to contain further core improvements from feedback following TSW6’s release, and a wider range of improvements for the recently released Birmingham-Crewe route.\n\nOnce we can confirm the improvements coming within the patch, we'll look to share the news to you all.\n\n### Epic Games Compatible Content\n\nFrom TSW6's launch, the Epic Games Store has only supported a curated selection of the most played compatible content available to play. We know this has been frustrating, and we've heard the feedback from our communities. \n\nAs of our **[update earlier this week](https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/epic-games-compatible-content-final-phase.95124/)**, we can now confirm all the remaining entitlements have been added and available to install in Train Sim World 6, allowing your to bring your collections across to the latest version of TSW, and enjoy the latest improvements and upcoming remasters for all your owned compatible content.\n\nThis final batch includes a further 72 add-ons (following our initial update that featured 17 add-ons), and so we won't list these all on this thread, but please feel free to check out our [**Epic Games TSW6 Support Page**](https://support.dovetailgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/28572768982290-How-to-Download-Add-ons-for-Train-Sim-World-6#Epic-Game-Store) to find out more information, and if you are still experiencing any issues, please let our teams know via our support tickets, our [**Dovetail Games Forums**](https://forums.dovetailgames.com/forums/trainsimworld/), or the new [**Dovetail Games Discord**](http://discord.gg/dovetailgames).\n\nWe greatly appreciate your time spent waiting whilst we bring back all the entitlements you expect to Epic Games, ensure the compatibility is fully supported.\n\n### De-branded Caltrain Compatible Content for PlayStation Users\n\nAs a quick note for players on PlayStation who didn't redeem the de-branded Caltrain add-ons and download them in TSW5, we're aware that these entitlements haven't been carrying across to TSW6 as expected. \n\nWe've been in contact with PlayStation and been able to implement a special-case workaround to give you all the access needed, and we're aiming to set this live tomorrow, Friday 7th November from 10am UTC, allowing you to download the TSW6 versions!\n\nBe sure to claim these add-ons if you have the related entitlements to get the content in TSW6 and onwards.\n\n## Community Corner\n\n### New November 2025 Mastery Challenges - Live Now!\n\nIt's a new month in TSW, and as usual, we've got new Mastery challenges headed your way!
