This page describes Wolfgang W. Plenz's TGV activities TGVPack.zip version 1.1, released 16-Sep-02 at the LGV Med site:
All Wolfgang's activities assume you've purchased Clem Tillier's TGV Addon pack. At only $US7.95 (about $AU15), it's a worthwhile purchase to obtain 4 TGV trainsets which naturally fit in with the high speed requirements of the LGV Med. Unlike Wolfgang's version 1 TGV activities, the how-to steps and files to modify the default Acela for 300 kmh running are not included in the version 1.1 TGVPack.
The activities below list the various freeware rolling stock and the sites from which to download these are given.

Approaching Avignon from Nimes, we're about to accelerate to the full TGV 300 kmh speed limit. |
Although the author provides two different activities: one for a converted Acela and the other for the Speedworks TGV Addon trainset pack, you need to download extra rolling stock, as listed below. All the following is used in TGV2 - Return with Thalys so it's worthwhile.
