as a dutchman i would like to see this train in this game. and the VIRM and for cargo the 1600/1800 loco. a cool route would be Bad Bentheim - Amsterdam SC with a part to the amsterdam harbours for the cargo something like that Icng: 1600/1800: you see these trains passing by on this route just like the ICM (koploper), SNG, SLT and very often the siemens vectron. you could also do routes like utrecht - amsterdam sc. the idea of the route is just a thought. there could be so many ! so yeah i would really like to see these trains in the game !

As a loco dlc for zwolle, or with a new Dutch route? And in which case what would that route be? What’s the timetable, does it add services or substitute in?
No, which bothers me, because I really want this train. My suggestion is the HSL Zuid from Amestardam to Rotterdam, or maybe Utrecht -Amestardam - Rotterdam, which would be very long but very nice.
If I'm not mistaken ICNG is already in use on the Amsterdam-Brussel line. That would be very good route for the game.
Icng is a replacement for older trains like icm(koploper), eventually it will be operating on the zwolle-groningen route so for me it's perfectly fine if it would be released for tsw right now. The icng is already operating on more routes besides the hsl line. Atleast according to the NS app.
