About This Content The DB Class 103 operated by DB, was considered the flagship of the DB fleet for a long period. It was up until 1987 that this locomotive monopolized high speed trains in Germany. It is one of the most powerful conventional electric locomotives ever built, with a one hour rating of 10,400KW or 13,900HP.During the 1950s there was a desire to produce an electric locomotive that could operate at speeds up to 200km/h. These were unveiled at the International Transport Fair in Munich in June 1965 as the Class E.03 (which became Class 103.0 when the new numbering system was introduced). Exhibition runs operated the train between Munich and Augsburg, achieving 200km/h on a regular basis. The fastest speed recorded on a Class 103 was 283km/h (176mph).Following additional developments, the Class 103 became the backbone of the German Trans Europe Express (TEE) and Intercity lines.The long reign of the Class 103 drew to a close in 1987 with the introduction of the new InterCityExpress (ICE) trains, with the Class 103 relegated to local services with more frequent stops.A total of 17 Class 103s have been preserved, with 5 of them still in operation, 2 of which are still part of DB's fleet and often used in test runs.The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive the DB Class 103 TEE on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as those available through Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for the Hamburg Hanover route (available separately and required to play these scenarios).ScenariosThree scenarios for the Hamburg Hanover route:North WindBack from Maintenance Part 1Back from Maintenance Part 2More scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

The streamlined cab front really evokes the two great things about this locomotive: it's very powerful and pretty fast too. A joy to drive, accelerates very quickly up to speed and the three braking systems work a treat for stations stops from high speeds. Would recommend this to anyone who likes 1960s trains, German trains, high speed trains or just great pieces of railway engineering. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have. The Rheingold coaches that come with it are great as well, with very luxurious interiors, particularly in the Club\/Bar car and the Restaurant car. Buy if you enjoy zooming along the ground at 200km\/h (124mph) in an electric train full of raw power and tons of it.. I would really love to recommend this loco. It's generally superb, but has a single, major flaw, which kills most of joy of driving it on Hamburg-Hanover route: no LZB.Driving 103 at 200 km\/h without LZB forces you to use the HUD - and even then any adverse signals are noticed too late to brake properly.. Good sound, good graphics and drives well too. With a throttlewheel with 39 notches, the train is very controlable.It just feels smooth driving this train. It doesn't lunge forward with like some other locs do when cranking up the throttle.Braking is also great. And again, it sounds awesome.. One very nice train for German Routes,It comes with an excellent model with accurate carriages with their own door animations, also it has passenger views for all carriages and the sound is really high quality, some of the best i've heard. The cab is almost real from the train apart from quite a few of the non-necessary buttons not being functional.Highly reccomended addon for TS. I Just Got The 103 Tee Yesterday Did A Quck Drive Scenario On The Hamburg Hanover Route This Electric Loco Drives Breakes An Looks Awesome Every Thing About It Is Great I Love This Train And The Passenger Cars That Come With It. I have for most of my life been a fan of both the TEE and the Class 103, however this addon seriously disapointed me.Unlike most Steam DLC for TS, Steam does not have a free download for this locomotive's manual, as such, I looked to the manuals of other Vr products on steam, the steam manuals were identical to manuals downloaded fro the Vr website. As such, I downloaded the manual from the Vr website and expected it to represent the Steam product. I was SORELY disappointed on all fronts besides controls, this locomotive excelled, however the controls were sorely lacking for a 'Pro Range' product. Overall message:A great product on most fronts, this locomotive lacks the depth of controls expected in a Pro Range product. If you do not care about cold starts and other 'in cab' features, this locomotive is excellent then i recomend it, otherwise, don't buy.. Totally Worth it. I'm a big fan of these locomotives in reallife and the simulator depicts them with impecable performance. The model's details are fairly good and the sounds are very good.
