Liege Aachen L37: Ska International Link To Belgium

Find your information really helpful and I can both my L36 & L37 suggestions being merged with SKa if the common origin point is either Brussels or cologne Central Station.

 

Thanks,
yeah totally agree. Put in a few more class 66 and a new E 186 locomotive
+ for the TGV Thalys PBKA you only need the wagons from "SNCF TGV POS" the part where the engines are in is already exactly the same as the TGV Duplex only change to a different color and other wagons. So even small adjustments you already have an effect that there are more trains than there really are. Small detail maybe some adjustments in the interior.

and we already have something very beautiful
Only they urgently need to adjust or rebuild the dome of the Aachen station. There is clearly an mistake on the current ones.








I am very curious which Belgian train would you choose as number one?

 

Retro HLE18 Alstom without that locomotive there wouldn't have been a locomotive capable of running Brussel Zuid Bruxelles Gare du Midi Liège Aachen Köln Hbf at a push former inner German border at either Bebra Gerstungen Eisenach on the Erfurt Leipzig Riesa Dresden Hauptbahnhof route or Braunschweig Helmstedt Marienborn Magdeburg West Berlin Zoologischer Bahnhof. Which is why I made it as a downloadable content Museum train for L36 & L37 and has the ability to pull former East German DR-Y Wagen UIC Städteexpress orange and cream carriages. Provided there is a scenario to which you must run a museum train from Germany to Brussels. Keep in mind you need to be pushed up Ronheider Rampe L37 & Plan Incliné de la côte d'Ans which is actually the next stop after Liege towards Brussels Midi. What other Belgian train is capable of running into Germany that is old besides HLE16 newer electric HLE17 Traxx HLE28/29 Traxx Diesel HLD77 7771-7871 & HLD57 G2000. As I said on the line 36 suggestion HLE28/29 needs to be started up the correct way which is actually going up to the engine room finding the battery isolation switch and then go to the cab.

 

Absolutely it is also always more fun if you can change sides inside the locomotive itself. Instead of saving time that the Developers sometimes do and you are forced to do this from the outside.


good choice HLE 18 (CC40100 )
also seems like a special locomotive, it great to be able to drive trains where the actions are still completely different from the current technology today




HLE 27 Could also be, although older trains are still interesting




Although this Am66 would also be something to see in Aachen itself






Wikipedia "Ronheider Rampe"

Ronheide is a district of Aachen, located on the northern edge of the Aachener Wald.

Ronheide is known for the Inclined Plane of Ronheide (Ronheider Rampe). This facility was necessary to bridge the height difference between the city of Aachen and the Aachener Wald for the international trains between Aachen and Liège. It was one of the first steep railway lines in Germany, already in use in 1843. A height difference of 55 meters had to be overcome over a distance of more than 2 km, which was initially done with a stationary steam engine that pulled the trains up on a cable. In 1854 the cable company was replaced by push locomotives. Ronheide station (Aachen Süd) served passenger trains until 1927. In 1966 the line was electrified. Until 1979, freight trains regularly traveled on this route, but most of them went up west of it, via Montzen. From 2007, freight trains still pass regularly, but only downhill.

It means that you are right, there are still freight trains via the L37, but it is not always clear to find this at the top is a kind of proof that it is.
there is not really any footage that shows where freight trains run through Liège, a piece of freight trains is still not easy to find anything about.

All the Ronheider Rampe remains the most fascinating challenge to take on, it's only now that I'm getting more and more understanding of how useful the L37 can be for new experience in the game.
Hopefully the Developer's consider making it for the enthusiasts who have been waiting for something like this for a long time. Bringing a German route so close to it was already a good start

 

You are correct and for HLE27 there's two versions normal buffers and Chains the other is Gf couplers M6/M7 double decker Intercity coaches. Times table mode substitute HLE18/19 Siemens from Aachen Hbf Liège Guillemins Services although they can also run a combined L36/L37 Brussels Aachen trips. Downhill direction if too heavy at Ronheider Rampe & L36 Ans uphill Brussels Direction helper locomotive needs to be attached otherwise you will stall out.

 

What about adding Thalys into game? Then we can start our journey from Köln

 

Thalys also runs on Bahnstrecke Witten/Dortmund-Oberhausen/Duisburg Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr that way you can start the trip at Bochum Hbf towards Paris Gare du Nord via Köln Hbf Aachen Hbf Liège Guillemins Bruxelles Gare du Midi. Belgian parts are L36 & L37
