    Belgium rail suggestion NMBS SNCB - Infrabel For TS Classic
    Nowadays it's more to do on Train Sim World, Maybe doing the unthinkable isn't so bad, Sktrains has already made a lot of rolling stock, the only thing that will be needed is a Railway line with a lot of potential. . Introduction of new European countries. It would be an extra push not only for me but also for others to play this game more often if there are other railway systems, including Brussels

    From my heart I would like to introduce Belgium, not just because it is a different country. More of all
    the special 's station in a short distance. It is also my home country and one of the reasons that I have wanted this country in the simulation for years.
    Antwerp Central is truly a unique place for Railworks;

    Except others signals, electrification, landscape definitely this one can be a nice addition to the game.

    Belgium has adopted a lot from the English, such as driving on the left side, other things I don't know[​IMG]




    For Brussels, International services for existing trains such as the ICE 3 / TGV

    Even the class 66 drives around Belgium in the form of freight traffic. By private companies
    (Crossrail, Captrain, NMBS Logistics, later as Lineas, Rotterdam Rail Feeding, RTB Cargo, Rheincargo, Euro Cargo Rail (ECR), )

    In Electric Locomotives on freight traffic the 193 VECTRON sometimes, or as usually a 186 traxx


    There are two trains the best you can have they should both have ETCS so TBL is not necessary.
    HLD 62 is very similar to an American train(F7A) a heavy locomotive is this. For passenger services, the Desiro would not be a bad choice. Sounds of that remain so special.

    Every train below is equipped with ETCS except the HLR 77 not or not yet


    rolling stock

    Desiro ML ( MS08) SNCB / NMBS
    Maximum speed 160 km/h
    built between 2011 - 2016

    (Has beautiful sounds and is how any modern train would be nowadays, here you can hear the traction motors on both sides of this EMU. Nothing sits on one side like the MS96, MS80.)


    Eurosprinter HLE 18/19 + M6 Double-decker wagons SNCB / NMBS (Potential Loco Add On)
    Maximum speed 200 km/h
    Entered service between 2009-2012

    The Eurosprinter is very similar to the VECTRON, it looks practical in appearance, only with a few differences

    MS80 BREAK SNCB / NMBS
    Maximum speed 160 km/h
    Entered service between 1981-1985

    (Has a Brilliant engine, braking noise you can literally hear something different in every bit of the three compartments. The first with the dire windows behind the steering post are the traction motors, brakes also dynamic. In the middle is an extra carriage that was added later. The last part you can hear the compressor in 1st class and also when the rail speed is braked because they have been in service for a number of years.)

    MS96 DMT SNCB / NMBS
    Maximum speed 160 km/h
    Entered service between 1996 - 2000

    (Are very special trains, the entire control post can be turned to the side for a walk-through corridor. These are also the most luxurious standard passenger trains you can find in Belgium. it could now rival Thalys Eurostar. Even neater than the M6 or M7 in my own opinion.)

    HLD 62 Infrabel
    Maximum speed 120 km/u
    Built in 1961
    Entered service sometime in 1962

    (Doesn't look very much like the American version GM-EMD F7 in terms of drive and are both the same age with just under 10 years difference.
    The unique thing about this is that in Belgium these trains have even been renewed and equipped with the latest central safety technology >ETCS)

    HLR 77 Infrabel, Lneas,
    Maximum speed 100 km/h
    Year of construction between 1999-2002

    (This locomotive can be used for two tasks for cargo transport from A to B or shunting in the Depots like the ones we already have in the game DB G6 although these two also have a number of similarities, the difference can be seen in the length of the shape.)

    Safety systems

    TBL1+ / ETCS-L1



    The Belgian railway line 25 is the oldest railway line in Belgium. It connects Belgium's two main cities: Brussels and Antwerp. The section between Brussels and Mechelen was completed in on Mayd 5, 1835 and was the first railway in Belgium and the first public passenger steam railway on the European continent. On May 3, 1836, the second section between Mechelen and Antwerp was opened. It was extended to Luchtbal in the north of Antwerp in 2007 in order to shorten the route from Amsterdam to Brussels. The total line runs 47.6 km (29.6 mi).

    Over most of its length it is paralleled by line 27 [fr] so that four tracks are available. During business hours, line 25 serves fast trains while local trains use line 27.

    The line goes through the following stations:

    Extension Muizen Freight DEPOT: Close to Mechelen station

    This can be extended again thanks to line 53 to the Leuven side track or station for passenger traffic. Along an internationally used line, the 36 towards Brussels or the 36c back to Mechelen.

    A lot of the Belgium trains are already available from SKTrains
    https://sktrains.be/en/

    It is unlikely any route builder would make items that are already available

    True, they can still make the route themselves first or make a deal with Sktrains, in other cases they can even make a simpler version of a Belgian train. Sktrains products can be compared to, for example virtual railroads in terms of quality.

    If anyone still knows the Frankfurt - Koblenz Route, the Stadler flirt (DB BR 429.1 FLIRT 3) also comes from ChrisTrains, difficult to find but clearly audible in the audio design, the methods are recognizable. And the coha signals and level crossings are all free, which is positive for those who want to save time. I understand your opinion, it won't be easy

    DTG would not release a route that relied on 3rd party assets such as the Coha signals
    Coha don't allow their assets to be used in a Payware route.

    But the main sticking point would be a License would be required for DTG to produce anything that had the NMBS logos.
