    Hey Guys!

    I would like to show you what Belgium railways offer you!
    First of all i would like to show you the stations, scenery and trains of the route Kortrijk-Antwerp.
    (Yes this is my local route ;))^

    First, the trains:

    On this route you mainly see the next trains:
    HLE18/19 with M6/7 double-decker carriages (wich already in the game sort of)
    [​IMG]

    MS96 (unique train + this train you see the most on the route.)
    [​IMG]

    And last the Desiro, AKA MS08 (wich could be used on other routes... and maybe a DLC for this route, you dont see this trains a lot on the route.)

    Scenery:
    On this route you most go thru farms or big meadows. It also goes thru 3 main cities. Kortrijk-Gent-Antwerp (see next section for station layouts)
    You also see little villages.

    Stations:
    This route starts at Kortrijk, a well know station with few directions (going to france for example..)
    This route has 8 stations. The route is 106KM long and takes you (in real time) around 1 and an half hour to run the complete section. See the stations:

    Kortrijk with 2 sides.

    1 word, BEAUTIFUL.

    There are more stations on this route, but they're really small, (with only 1 or 2 platforms..) most of the trains dont stop there so i didnt really included them. If your suprised of this route, go take an look on Google maps and find it out for yourself. I think this route has a lot to offer. After that they could make an extension from Aachen-Brussels and use the belgium trains for that, you dont see a lot of freight on this route its more passenger related, but they could include the locomotives needed for the freight.

    Thanks for reading this article and all Belgium Railfans hope to see this in TSW2, because in any Train Sim you dont really see a Belgium route.

    Cheers!!

    I like the MS96 looks kinda different but unique. Does a similar train run on any scandinavian route? I'm sure i've seen those on a danish route? Or am I mistaken?

    Route crossing the boarder from Belgium to Holland would be a great route.

    It looks very similar to the Danish IC3

    One of my all time favourite Danish Units because they run nearly everywhere!
    Really really really desperate for a Danish Route.
