    These 4 lines total up to a mileage of 43 miles, with all of the routes being operated by Adelaide Metro. A further 6 3/4 miles would be included up to Dry Creek, as the entire of the Metro fleet is maintained here, with the 4000 Class being dragged from their stabling point at Seaford to Dry Creek depot by a pair of 3100 Class units. 2 of these routes are diesel operated with 2 of them being operated by electric stock. These lines are built using the 5ft 3 inch Broad Gauge, which is also used in Ireland and Brazil. upload_2022-5-1_16-15-10.png

    Used on all the non-electrified routes in Adelaide. Recently underwent a refurbishment during which they were fitted with new Mercedes Benz engines as well as a reworked interior. Interior image is below upload_2022-5-1_16-21-50.jpeg

    Used on the Seaford & Flinders lines. They were built by Bombardier/Alstom and introduced from 2014 onwards, allowing the withdrawal of the diesel 2000 Class, some of which were 35 years old at the time of withdrawal. Interior image is below, with 2+2 in place of the 3100’s 3+2 seating. These units are built to the same Broad Gauge as the 3100 Class, although it is possible for them to be modified for use on standard gauge. upload_2022-5-1_16-29-46.jpeg

    This is a no brainer, as a local and someone's who's been in a cab of a class 3100 but also dealt with the old rippers (class 2000/2100). The Adelaide metro network has to be recreated in tsw3 as it is the perfect Australian commuter route and is very scenic. Plus, the stations are beautiful for example Bowden station etc. Though I'm just wondering would this include the outer harbour line and would it be set post new station at port Adelaide right next to the rail museum. Overall though great suggestion mate.

    Excellent idea and furthermore 4000 Class EMU Adelaide can be modified to become a Melbourne V/location and a Transperth B series Narrow Gauge EMU. There is a problem with the training centre intro is that Adelaide Commuter Rail system uses a 1.6m Irish Gauge track which makes them Incompatible with Training Centre 1.435m tracks. To solve the Issue Training Centre must get dual Gauge track Irish Gauge outer rail inner are Standard and Cape Gauge tracks that way Adelaide Commuter trains can share Training centre with existing ruling stock in the future Transperth Mandurah Line A-C series and Japanese Cape gauge rolling stock
