Hello German Railfans! These mods makes numerous improvements or other Gameplay changes the default timetable of the Frankfurt S-Bahn Route.
The Mods as separate Downloads and can be used interchangeable if not stated otherwise.
The downloads include:
- FSN_S_Bahn_swap: the BR 430 now only runs S2 Services and the BR 423 now runs S1, S7, S8 and S9 Services (suggested by @Stormy 24) - only needs the base Route
- FSN_DB_BR101_Expert_replacement: this package replaces all IC RVDs with their counterparts of the Expert DB BR 101 DLC (Cabcar included) - IC Expert DLC required
- FSN_Regio_Cargo_Substitution: this package adds enables substitution for the BR 143 services (at the moment only the Br 114 from FTF substitutes. This probably is because in the timetable node the Extension Length isn't set up for locos longer that the BR 143. The timetable File is already cooked and I therefore I can't confirm if this is the case or edit this value. If DTG where to remove that restriction I already set it up so the BR 146 would instandly show up.) The FTF BR 193 RVD has been replaced by the KWG BR 185 RVD because the BR 193 has a bug that prevents other locos from Substituting even thought Substitution is enabled. (This has been the case here) - Kassel Würzburg DLC required
And with that have a lot of fun with the mod!
Best regards, Lefabo

This is quite nice and makes 423-lovers like me happy, but as an idea, to keep some variety, could you try making the 423 substitute into 430 services but not entirely replace it? So both units run the same lines, whether that's realistic or not.
Hi Myron! By Default there are no Available Geographic Region set in the RVD Files so i can not substitute it. But maybe I can Mod them so they have them set up. I will see what i can do. I'll experiment with that in the coming days.
Hi, that would be fantastic!!!

Bad News guys i tried setting up substitution for the units but did not get it to work. No idea if the modded RVD didn't work or if the substitution was set up wrong somehow. I reverse engineered the substitution form the Maintalbahn with the BR 612 to see how that worked and tryed to apply the same logic to the S-Bahn Units to no avail of course. Maybe I just did something wrong. I have a litte bit of experience with the PC Editor in varios fields but my knowlage is apparently not enoght for this task for now. Setting up substitution for MUs is much harder than for Locomotives. For Locos it's easy because its only one single vehicle that does not have to match with everything but for the S-Bahn services it's not just more than one vehicle but they need to match the type of train as well. For example you would not want a train consisting of a BR 430, BR 423, BR 430 in that order in the same consist. Sorry but it seems I can't make that work.
Okay, thanks for your effort! :)

Why not duplicate the timetable and have the swap in there? I have no idea how much hassle this would be so please forgive my ignorance x)
The timetable refers to the formations Lefabo likely swapped, and editing cooked timetable data to change the formations is close to impossible, I can imagine.
Myron is right. I can't edit a cooked timetable or clone it and then edit it.
Great Mod! Would it be possible to replace the Bremen-Oldenburg 425 with the one from Mannheim-Kaiserslautern?
An S-Bahn marked 425 for Regio services would be weird, though...
Could you do a replacement for the 423 from Frankfurt - Fulda? These Units are Missing.
Like this?: https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/mods/c3-train-sim-world/c19-patches/i6394-lefabo-db-br-430-for-frankfurt-fulda-replacement The BR 111 timetable has the Br 423.
Cool that you have replaced the IC trains by your'e mod! Can you do the same for Frankfurt Fulda standard timtable maybe? That will be a very good additional wish from a lot of users. The timetable thats included by the route is broken for an extremely long time now. You can not drive a lot of runs due to blocking trains. They never fixed that.
Thank you for this nice mod!
If the RB10 replaces the BR425 with the VIAS Flirt, it will be even better
https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/mods/c3-train-sim-world/c18-pak-file-skins/c67-european/i5687-vias-stadler-flirt
This is the actual train used in RB10.
I have read the spawn instructions for the VIAS Stadler Flirt and it seems that i cant ensure these in a mod like this. I try it anyway if it works a download appears and if not something probably went wrong.
Thanks!
Your hard work is very much appreciated.
I just tried implementing the VIAS Flirt and just like i thought the game showed it in the menu but when loading a service the game crashed because of the spawn requirements.
Great mod! really adds to it. love driving it with the expert 101
Great mod! Do you think you could do a version that replaces the DB BR 143 with the Frankfurt Fulda DB BR 146? I prefer that loco sm more! Also is there a way you could replace the Frankfurt S-bahn dostos with the frankfurt - fulda dostos as I hugely prefer the orange PIS on the frankfurt fulda dostos!
Thanks :)
This is fantastic. Driving the Cab Car on this route is quite a challenge. Thank you!
fantastisch, vielen Dank. Ist es möglich selbige mit dem 403 als Ersatz für den 411 zu machen?
This mods works on PC Gamepass as well.
Your other mod for FTF 430 replacements does not, unfortunately.
Thank you for implementing the 101EX like it should be in the first place! :-)
Could it be that the mods no longer work after the last patch, because the BR 143 are back for me.
