Crocodiles, Railjets and Pendolinos!

After 2,5 years of doing german trains, the GETS-team was in serious need of something different. Eventually we decided to give Germanys southern neighbours a visit.
GETS AlpineAddon covers Austrian and Swiss trains in GETS-scale and artstyle.

This .grf features autoconsist-coaches: Buy a certain amount of the same coach and Cab cars, restaurants and special coaches will automatically be added (Works only with certain locomotives).

Please be aware this is an add-on: You most likely won't be able to play a complete game without loading another trainset.

Very nice and a perfect match for the large Swiss scenario I currently play, which also includes parts of Germany, Austria, Italy, and France

I just noticed that the steam engines of the KFNB ("Kaiser Ferdinands-Nordbahn") look much smaller than later locos, like the ÖBB class 1020 "Austrian Crocodile". Of course, engines got much bigger over time but the mid-18th century steam locos look so tiny compared to the later ones that I wonder if they are indeed of the same scale?!?

Any chance to also have some FS locos included?!? They are very distinct in style+color and cannot easily be replaced by some closely related ones of other countries.

Really glad you like it! Hope you have lots of fun with your game.

Actually, the KFNB-engines are even a bit taller than they should be. KFNB Austria had a length of only 8,9 m (with tender). In comparison, a "Donnerbüchse"-Coach is 13,9m long.
If you further compare the Austria to the KPEV P 3.1 engine, latter with a length of ~15m, they're just 1/8 length away from each other.
Concerning the FS locos: Sadly it's a no. We've started with a focus of AT and CH, and we'd like to keep it kinda focussed on that one.

Thanks for the sets of trains of Austrian and Swiss railways.
It's great!
