This add-on, which was commissioned by the Berlin Association Historische S-Bahn e.V., shows everyday life on the Berlin S-Bahn as it once was. The year of the Football World Cup in Germany, the year 2006, was chosen as the date. This does not fit with the fact that at that time all old trains had already disappeared from the S-Bahn network and that all supervisors had disappeared from the stations with a few exceptions. But it could have turned out differently... The train journeys are handled by radio or light signal, and announcements are made on the platforms. 11 scenarios reflect a day on the Berlin S-Bahn with 12 hours of travel time. A day - spread over 4 seasons and different weather conditions - with many conceivable and actual facets of the operation of the Berlin S-Bahn.
The included S-Bahn, a "Nietenreko" of the class 476.3, brings the old Berlin S-Bahn song back to the city. Driving and especially braking needs to be practiced. The train has a single-release brake. The brake can be applied in several stages, but only released in one. It is a real challenge to circle a full train of 135m length to the platform of 145m length.
