Dovetail Games released the Tadami Line add-on for Train Sim World 7 on September 30 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Developed by Union Workshop, it covers the 88 km single-track line between Aizu-Wakamatsu and Tadami and 28 stations, set before the line was split by the 2011 Niigata-Fukushima heavy rain disaster. Players drive the Kiha 40 series diesel railcar in three color variations. Steam price is 5,100 yen.
The add-on recreates the line as it ran before the 2011 Niigata-Fukushima heavy rain disaster divided it, covering 88 km of single track between Aizu-Wakamatsu and Tadami and 28 stations. Union Workshop developed it. The Kiha 40 series diesel railcar comes in three color variations: JNR color (orange), Niigata color (white and blue), and Tohoku Regional Headquarters color (white and green). Japan's signaling system and ATS are modeled, and the package includes a timetable based on actual operating schedules plus five scenarios spread across different seasons and travel sections.
