About This Content

The picturesque countryside of Bavaria awaits! Lean into the scenic unelectrified curves and lush forested hills of Germany with our next route for Train Simulator Classic, Pegnitztalbahn: Nürnberg - Bayreuth.

The Pegnitztalbahn, or Pegnitz Valley Railway, is a long-distance and regional route through the countryside of Bavaria, Germany, linking across the south of the country and beyond into Czech territory. The line is one of several in Germany which is yet to be electrified, meaning all traffic is still provided by diesel traction.

From the winding rails of Chemnitz in Train Sim World, the DB BR 612 makes a bold appearance in Train Simulator Classic. Wearing the same Franken-Sachsen-Express branding, as the Pegnitztalbahn plays host to another section of the same service, the BR 612 makes easy work of the twisting line, leaning into corners for increased passenger comfort.

The diesel workhorse DB BR 648 fills in the gaps on regional traffic. While it doesn’t tilt, the BR 648’s low floor makes it an easily accessible unit for the rural Bavarian villages. Also supporting the cast is the long lost and tilt-equipped DB BR 605 ICE-TD; while now retired from passenger service, one unit was converted into DB’s Advanced Train Lab, a mobile testbed for new technologies.

In Train Simulator Classic, the Pegnitztalbahn recreates the 93 km section between Nürnberg and Bayreuth, with 17 intermediate stations en route. Take on the tilting challenge of the DB BR 612’s unique controls, as well as other diesel traction across a variety of challenging scenarios. The Pegnitz Valley awaits!
