As time went on, official task packs were released to supplement the already vast number of included activities. The product received continued support through patches like V1.37c , which fixed bugs, added new features such as the GR-Cabview folder, and even introduced new rolling stock like the Class V90 . This long-term support was a hallmark of the German Railroads project.

It featured an impressive roster of over 700 locomotives and more than 900 wagons . This meant players could drive iconic traction from various eras, including steam giants like the BR 10 , classic diesel workhorses such as the V60 , V100 , and V200 , and modern electric locomotives like the BR 103 , 111 , 140 , and 151 .
