    Hello and I'm suggesting a dutch diesel DMU that was retired and withdrawn from services some units were sent to Romania and scrapped which is the NS DM90

    If it had to come then I would like it to be an add on for the spoorjlin Zwolle - Groningen route because it fits in the route and it's the only dutch route in tsw5 so the DM90 has to come to tsw5.

    Thanks for reading my suggestion
    hope the DM90 comes to tsw5.:D

    It fits in the route Zwolle - Enschede, before 2017 when Keolis Blauwnet started to drive on it

    It would need its own route. It doesn't fit Zwolle - Groningen, firstly because there's no point in using diesel trains on an electrified route, and secondly the DM90 was out of service when the SNG entered service, so it doesn't fit the time period.

    Unfortunately it'll be harder to do recordings on these trains. You'd need cooperation with whatever foreign rail operator has purchased the units (according to Wikipedia that's Poland), or you'd need to rely on old recordings like whatever ChrisTrains may have laying around for this TSC DM90.

    Another possible downside is that the DM90 wasn't used in the Randstad region, where the majority of the Dutch population lives, so most Dutch people may even not be familiar with the DM90.
