    Hi Dovetail

    Aaah, the coast. Just a beauteful place. And let's make it even more beauteful with a tramline. The longest single tramline in the world! The Coastel Tram or 'Kusttram.'

    Tram KT, previously tram 0 and before that divided into several coastlines and neighbourhood railways.
    Since 1885, this tram line, which is about 67km long, has been running along 67 stops. The info can be found here ;)
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coast_Tram

    I know it is of the habit in Train Sim World not to create routes as long as those found in Train Simulator Classic, but this route (and especially with the 3 proposed trams (see later in this post)) should really be a gamechanger! Tearing along with a tram at 70km/h on the main road (!!! the BN could go up to 85km/h due to its big wheels!!!) and suddenly be in the heart of Ostend. To fall in love with. Please, if this route is realised, make it the full route. From De Panne Station to Knokke Station. You have already made longer routes (though this one is detailed anyway).

    Equipment
    Currently, the Urbos 100 (Zeelijner) is running around.

    But the BN LVR and its more modern three-part variant were an icon of this line for a huge long period of time!

    In addition, (both the Ghent two-way tram and the Antwerp one-way tram) the Hermelijn is also well known in this area. Indeed, this is transported to the coast during the summer period for rides between Ostend and Westende but also the full ride.

    Voila. I'm done talking. I really hope to see this full route appear on steam because I love it and I think, no, I KNOW I am not the only one :)

    P.S.
    Possibly as an additional add-on the yellow work tram (better know as the 'tow tram') or the two-way motor car type S

    here are some additional images
