In Train Simulator Classic, the Allgäubahn: Kempten – Lindau & Immenstadt – Oberstdorf route is a premier destination for fans of heavy diesel operations and breathtaking Alpine scenery. Developed by RSSLO, this 110 km (68-mile) network focuses on the non-electrified “Diesel Island” of southern Germany, where modern power meets historic branch line charm.
📍 The Network: From Lake Constance to the Alps
The add-on covers two distinct styles of railroading within the Bavarian Allgäu region.
- The Main Line (89 km): Runs from the transport hub of Kempten to the island station of Lindau on Lake Constance. This section is known for its winding curves and steep gradients that push diesel locomotives to their limits.
- The Oberstdorf Branch (20 km): Diverges at Immenstadt and climbs toward Oberstdorf, the southernmost railway station in Germany. This stretch offers some of the most iconic mountain vistas in the simulator.
- Atmospheric Detail: Includes custom Bavarian-style signals and 12 faithfully modeled stations, capturing the unique architecture of the region.
🚆 Rolling Stock: The “Multi-Engine” Traxx
The route is centered on the modernization of the Allgäu rail network, featuring the versatile diesel variant of the Bombardier Traxx family.
- DB BR 245: A high-fidelity recreation of the multi-engine diesel locomotive.
- Advanced Simulation: Features functional PZB 90 safety systems, SIFA (deadman’s control), and a working AFB (cruise control) system for maintaining speed on long descents.
- Cold & Dark: Includes realistic startup procedures and functional cab displays for destination and train length settings.
- Doppelstockwagen (DABpzb): Includes the matching double-decker coaches used for regional services, providing an authentic “push-pull” experience with functional driving trailers.
🎮 Scenarios & Expansion
The base package includes 6 career scenarios that range from regional express runs to complex shunting at the Lindau docks.
- Modern Expansion: As of January 2026, the route is frequently used with the DB BR 633 (Pesa Link) and the tilting DB BR 612, both of which are staple sights on the real-world Allgäubahn.
- Community Support: Extensive scenario packs are available from third-party creators like ZugSimFan, adding hundreds of hours of gameplay based on real 2017–2025 timetables.
