About This Content The S1 Line of the Hamburg S-Bahn is the city’s second largest, initially traversing the outskirts before diving into the heart and serving many locations including the nearby international airport. This historic line originated in the early 1900s, and still aids in the movement of people day in and day out. Take command of the ever-busy ‘Mass Transit Metro’ over the Hamburg S1 S-Bahn for Train Simulator!Life, for what would become known as the Hamburg S-Bahn, began in 1906 with the opening of Hamburg Hbf where steam hauled services would run between Blankenese and the city itself. Despite the railway tracks in this area were not exactly ‘new’, this is the first time that they had been used in ‘rapid-transit’ style operations; as such, the new usage came under the name of the Hamburg-Altona Urban and Suburban Railway.Extensions of the suburban service quickly followed, allowing connections with Hasselbrook and Ohlsdorf on the eastern face of Hamburg. It was also around this time when the decision was taken to electrify the line, by 1907, electric trains were utilising the, once current, overhead catenary throughout the city. It was at this point, when electricity was the source of motive power that the line fell into what could be categorised as an S-Bahn today. It would not be until 1924 that the Hamburg S-Bahn was so-named however, this occurred once the old Alster Valley Railway to Poppenbüttel was acquired and the route to Wedel was on-lease for suburban use.By the 1930s, it was decided that the Hamburg S-Bahn could benefit from re-electrification, this time however, using 1200 V third rail. Similar in most respects to the Berlin S-Bahn, the introduction of third rail would provide more versatile power needs as trains and services got faster. The under-side contact method was chosen as standard, and the line saw a whole 450 V increase of Berlin’s offering, to further improve acceleration and performance. By 1939, all overhead was abandoned and third rail dominated the line. It would not be until 1959 that the line to Wedel was acquired and electrified.In 1965, the Hamburg S-Bahn numbering scheme came into play and saw Wedel – Poppenbüttel, the second longest S-Bahn route, become known as the S1 Line. While the line has held a key importance throughout its life, be it steam powered, overhead-populated or otherwise, it was not until 2008 that the mere purpose of the line would change for the busier. An extension was built out of Ohlsforf station and headed westbound, only one station was on the new spur – Hamburg International Airport, the Airport Shuttle was born. Services would now split to serve Poppenbüttel and the Airport simultaneously, and naturally, a connection with the Airport has seen the S1 become even more vital to the growth of business and tourism within and surrounding Hamburg.The Hamburg S1 S-Bahn features the 45 km route from Wedel to Poppenbüttel and Hamburg Airport as an extension to the existing 64 km Hamburg Lübeck Railway (also included in this single route totaling more than 100km of German railway).The DB BR 474 Plus EMU is also included as key modern traction to the Hamburg S1 line; the traction included in Hamburg-Lübeck, DB BR 218, DB BR 145, DB BR 294 and associated rolling stock.Included Locomotives & Rolling StockDB BR 474 Plus in Deutsche Bahn Traffic Red LiveryDB BR 218 in Deutsche Bahn Traffic Red LiveryDB BR 145 in Deutsche Bahn Traffic Red LiveryDB BR 294 in Deutsche Bahn Traffic Red LiveryDB Doppelstockwagen in Deutsche Bahn Traffic Red LiveryIncluded ScenariosThe Hamburg S1 S-Bahn Route Add-on includes seven challenging career scenarios and three Railfan Mode scenarios:Career Scenarios:Touring the S1Hitting the HammaOktoberfest ContributionOvernight to AltonaHansa TimeJust in Time for ChristmasOut of Stockplus 3 Railfan Mode Scenarios.More scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

I encountered a single flashing green signal, which in Germany together with a speed table shows an upcoming speed limit. In this case it was flashing green, but without any further indication. Not existent in Germany, so I was quite confused how to interpret it. 2.) No speed limit warnings- Train Brakes 3.) Way to weak brakes. It is close to impossible to get this train to a standstill as it's supposed to be. All in all I found several severe issues with the details of this route. While it does look good, those problems make this route and train seem unfinished and rushed. As an owner of Hamburg-Luebeck I got a discount of 40%. With some fixes it might become better, but for now I've requested a refund. No recommondation at this time.. Put your hand and let's count how many intolrant defects this route has! Thumb -------- the cab is strangly touchy on the control, even a slight push on the handle can make power maximum and exceed allowed speed.Index finger ------- terrible brakes. the dynamic braking perform practically no function, which is a disaster for metro.Ring finger ------- unacceptable frame-drop.little finger ------- wrong signal settings. the DB distant signal doesn't seem to work and you can not decelerate timely when you arriving station. Sorry? what did you say? what about the middle finger? Oh, yes, now you can see what I feel about the DLC :). Route is pretty beautiful. Train is pretty crappy. Route uses several semaphore signals. Light signals differ from ordinary German railway signals. Does NOT include the 474.3 DLC. (It does include the 474 Plus, which is seperate train) 474 Plus has no in-cab indication of doors open\/close state (and camera views outside of train are unavailable at underground stations, preventing you from seeing doors open\/closed state) 474 Plus passenger view has limited camera rotation and does always show closed doors (even when open) 474 Plus doesn't brake as fast as it accelerates (unless you use emergency brake) Quick Drive does include a reverse point at Blankenese (switches and signals switch automatically) Is listed as additional route in Quick Drive, in addition to Hamburg-L\u00fcbeck routeSome underground stations have no visible light sources (there's ambient light, but you can't see where the light is coming from).Tunnels aren't completely dark, so there's still enough to see, while still being dark enough to look realistic.Low FPS at some places (like Hamburg Hbf)You can select the power traction of the 474 Plus (Third Rail or Overhead Wires) when starting a Quick Drive, but you cannot change power source during the drive.I still have to try scenarios and more route driving, but wanted to share above as quickly as possible :). I like this track, atypical german setting, with lot of variety.The train is not perfect, reused sounds and so.But I got hang of it and it drives ok. You must use brake independently, not only combined power handle.I do not recommend to use PZB, because of different signals, which have active 1000 hz magnets way too often and it's impossible to keep to timetable as it slows you down too much.Very resource intensive, game often slows down.. Not sure if it's just my graphics settings, but the Passenger View doesn't work - the whole carraige is missing. And passengers on platform walk straight through the walls, when the doors are not open. Doesn't give a good impression..
