For scenery, commuting on this route IRL daily, it's pretty scenic in a bit of a similar way to how Oldenburg - Bremen is. Though one of the...
140 is the general maximum line speed in the Netherlands, with a few exceptions on parts between Amsterdam and Breda. Full Sprinter run over the...
Just wondering what DTG is going to do with the achievements now that neither of the trains included have a number in their type name for the...
Took a moment to quickly draw out the map on a screenshot. As mentioned, about 105km with 8 stations, all visible on the map, except one. Zwolle -...
Can I ask where you got those rumors from? Because personally I find them a bit unlikely. While I would absolutely love it if Expert Mode became...
Yeah, so it's about a handful of freight trains a day, but mostly after dark. Most often I see 189's carrying them. Often carrying tankers....
Actually, just thought of it. At a lot of stations, there are postal dropboxes, and they are orange and would make for great collectibles. Maybe...
Prinsjesdag? AED's are actually a fantastic idea and promotes health and safety. But it would repeat a lot of German route collectibles, though...
Alright, everyone! Let's talk collectibles including maps. Usually I mostly ignore collectibles, especially if they're annoying and intrusive...
Actually... I think it should still be there, and I'm sure during surveying, the team has/will notice(d) that in the underpass in Zwolle, through...
Honestly though, that was already my plan. Though mostly because I'm not really interested in any of the routes or trains from either pack this...
So, not to speculate too hard on future routes, and there's plenty of interesting ideas also outside of the Randstad area, but a thought did pop...
No. Route hopping means changing route, especially on a station that exists on both. Say, you start at Wuppertall, go to Hagen Hbf, then change...
Routewise, Zwolle - Groningen & Tadami. Nothing else even compares. Featurewise, conductor mode. Hope both routes above will have it :)
Yeah, but it still just wouldn't work. You would get a route with German trains, set for 80% in Germany, with most stops being in Germany. It'd...
Nice pic. Also, the iconic look of the orange cablight in the dark. I hope they capture it well. There's several specific things about the ICM I...
Sure, and I've seen them. But when I say "in service" I quite meant "in commercial service" in this specific region, which they're not yet.
Yeah, but I got the feeling reading the article that this route will exclusively feature the ICM-3 variant, with only 3 carriages. Also,...
NS ICNG are lovely. And they will eventually also be on the Zwolle - Groningen line at some point. But currently they're still being tested...
No, but what's stopping you from doing it yourself? ;) Other than pressumably being Belgian
Guys, I just wanna say. I'm happy Matt decided to weigh in on the discussion, and being curious is fine and good and all that, and I'm happy...
I will not be asking for any information on future projects, even though I am naturally very curious. Just, if the time comes for a 2nd Dutch...
I can't. I have to come in for work that day :(
Actually, not really. At Hoogeveen, you're probably the closest to the German borders at only 20 km. In fact, there's another smaller route...
You might want to point out the it's the rear side in the pic that's the cab car. The one that's single level with the raised continuous blue bar...
No, we have almost exclusively EMU's here. Both ends are the same, other than one end having a pantograph. Hello Matt, thank you for your input...
This is amazing! Where did you find this?
Which in itself would just be part 1 of Amsterdam - Bruxelles ;)
That's a good point. And also, with them having the knowledge, the assets, and already 2 rolling stock acquired from this route, it would make it...
Yeah, same. I know I for sure will be driving this route on an almost daily basis. But I just hope this doesn't lead to low enthusiasm from the...
Yeah, so this is honestly one of my main concerns. It's a great route idea and very scenic. But I'm afraid this specific route is mostly for...
In real life it does, though sparsely. Maybe like 2 to 4 a day? Mostly at night though. I'm guessing some of the cargo is intended for and...
I'm not really worried about that. In terms of mechanics, it's pretty similar to LIRR and Harlem Line, which function relatively well.
MAT'54 is gorgeous, but those trains went out of service in the 90's. MAT'64, which is its slightly more modern succesor, would be a great add-on...
Honestly. I kinda hope that one day they'll do Luxemburg :) They could include the entire country and then boast that there's literally no route...
So, one of the things I'm very curious to is in what year this route is going to be set *exactly*, because whether it's 2023 or 2024 does have...
Also. Hope they put in the stork nests on some of the catenaries inbetween Hoogeveen and Beilen as an easter egg :)
Alright. I'm ecstatic for this, but I do have some thoughts. This is mostly my dream come true. Not just have I been a staunch advocate for...
Not sure if you have found the cause yet, as this was posted a week ago, but for me, after searching for a long time, I have. You probably...
Found a fun little bug when messing about, but it's nothing serious and frankly I was trying to find it too :) It's to do with the windows. When...
Hey all, I'll keep it short. I've always really really wanted Dutch content for Train SIm World and I'm convinced that there's a genuine gap in...
Oh yeah, I forgot about those! I would LOVE an ACTUALLY new generation Dosto. It would give flavor, and it would feel like they're putting actual...
Well, if I'm not mistaken, the Abellio's Flirt 3's are a very common sight in the area. That'd certainly be a more than welcome addition for me....
Unfortunately true, read my second to last line ;) Though, only the last part of how to merge the routes is truly unrealistic I feel like. The...
So, a little bit unconventional of a suggestion as it's technically speaking not anything "new", but still I think this'd be a great idea. So, as...
I'll keep it short, but what's all you guys' performance been like in relation to your specs? So, I have a PC that's pretty good. Not some elite...
So, did a small little service and noticed something interesting that wasn't there last time I played the route, though admittadly it's been a...
So, I'll make this post very small, but I was thinking of a very small, but very nice little quality of life feature. I was driving a timetable...
Stupid question maybe btw, but in case any of the mods are reading this. Would it be possible to make a slight alteration on the title of this...
True, though to be fair, as I did mention in the post. While I would personally prefer the ICNG to appear on this route, I do think the 186 TRAXX...
Separate names with a comma.
