A truly first class route, that will have to go down as one of my all time modern routes despite its relatively short length. What it lacks in overall A-B mileage, it more than makes up for this with its beautiful design; stunning scenery and amazing high quality detail. The route is an absolute pleasure to drive, and I soon 'bagged' all the included scenarios. which were thoroughly good fun to drive and worked flawlessly. To have such a smooth run with a generous number of scenarios (which are included with the route) is most impressive. Whilst not the fastest of European routes, its rapid twisting turning nature, and steep climbs and decents makes for some hugely entertaining driving. For those that love their super-elevation it's here in spades, and very well executed; the elevated fast switching curves at times almost makes it feel like a wonderful rollercoaster ride! The included rolling stock fits in nicely with the route, and overall is high quality in its detailing; these are very good models. The ÖBB 1116 is a most satisfying drive, with overall good quality driving physics; IMHO this particular Taurus has better sounds than most in the game, and the steady 'throb' at high speeds is particularly atmospheric. The included container wagons also display a nice range of sounds, including super wheel flange effects as the train carves its way around the sharp bends. To experience the incorporated Austrian signalling system, makes for a few nice subtle changes from the modern German routes available for the game. Anyway, in summary, all in this is a very enjoyable route, with simply stunning scenery, and is supplied with some decent quality roling stock, and enjoyable to drive scenarios. Can highly recommend!
