Since the release of the Spoorlijn Zwolle - Groningen a major achievement has been reached so far. Finally a Dutch route had come. The Koploper is well done and the Sprinter looks nice as well. However the spoorlijn itself is quite annoying and does not really show off the original "Oer-Hollands" landschape with the swampy fields north of Amsterdam and all the way down to the south. The major timestamp is the period of 1970 shows off "Holland" in a very different way. I would like to see that route coming to TSW. The excessive variety of landscapes of this route is tremendous. There are at least 50 designated Dutch landmarks along this route. Though all flat meadows and typical Hollandse agriculture and countryside. Some major Landmarks are the Amsterdam Centraal Station with its majestic rooftop with the winged NS train wheel logo. Amsterdam westelijk eiland. just outside the westside of the Centraal Station. The old bascular canal bridges just west of Amsterdam. The route to Haarlem the oldest NS route in service since 1835, passing Halfweg with its famous skyline of the sugar plant. Then the majestic Station of Haarlem with its designated levered signalbox in the middle of the station. Then the junction to Zandvoort aan Zee. Further down south to Lisse with the famous colorful flower and tulip fields with old Dutch wind mills and typical Hollandse meadows and trenched agricultural fields Then before entering Den Haag Hollands Spoor the junction to Den Haag Staatspoor Station and overpass over the historic ZHESM line (1st electric Dutch railway Scheveningen - Rotterdam Hofplein) then further down south Delft Station and the elevated tracks passing through Delft. (Now a tunnel). Then through the typical fields of the Delft Westland entering Schiedam Rotterdam West station with the junction from Hoek van Holland. Then the branch line junction from Rotterdam RMO (Marconiplein) now passing the famous and typical steel ribbited counterweighted Delfshavense Schiebruggen close to the famous van Nelle factory. Now the junction to Rotterdam Noord and Gouda then Rotterdam Centraal Station by Ing. v Ravensberg. We now enter the elevated "Luchtspoor" passing Blaak and old harbour passing the 5 arc bridges (Willemsbrug) crossing the Nieuwe Waterweg (Rhine river). over the Noordereiland to Rotterdam South via the famous and historic bridge "De Hef" and "Koningsbruggen". Passing the huzzling and buzzling side of Rotterdam with its Shunt yards at the Rosestraat and IJsselmonde and the junction to the Waalhaven and Botlek. Through the old station of Barendrecht and there with its typical butterfly catenary poles. Then further south passing Zwijndrecht and the bascular bridge across the Kil river into Dordrecht Station. A typical and historical masterpiece of the last century. The junction to Geldermalsen where the Red Devils drove (Plan U dmu's) the line now make a right curve towards the Moerdijk bridges. The longest railroad bridge in the Netherlands passing the Haringvliet flood. Now entering Lage Zwaluwe with the branch lines to Uden and Moerdijk and the Junction to Breda. Now the picturesque station of Zevenbergen on the last leg to Roosendaal. Before entering Roosendaal the junction from Breda and the Roosendaal Depot with is designated roof and the designated signalbridge, signalbox at the reception side of the stabling yards next the station for exchange of Belgian Rolling Stock further down the line the junction to Bergen op Zoom and Antwerpen (B) Forget about the Koploper because that EMU wasn't build in 1970. Rolling stock: The famous Hondekop (Doghead) in green, NS yellow and Benelux livery, Mat 54 and mat 57 The famous Muizeneuzen (Mice nose) in green, Mat 36 and Mat 46 The Famous Apekop (Ape head) in green and yellow, Mat 64 Plan U DMU's in red (3 car diesel variant of Mat 64) Class 1000, Class 1100 and 1300 Class 1200 Class 1500 (LNER / BR Class 77) Class 2200 Diesel Class 2400 Diesel Class 600 Shunter (BR class 08, class 11) in green and Feijenoord green/yellow 5 types of signalling: NS Semaphores NS 3 light searchlights signal (USA origin) NS 1 light searchlight signal (Color changer, USA origin) NS 3 aspect signals NS 4 aspect signals 4 types of catenary poles - Standard steel pole with Y hanger - Brabant concrete pole with Y hanger - USA Style butterfly poles (Near Halfweg) - NS Butterfly poles near Barendrecht and between Rotterdam and Hoek van Holland Everybody will enjoy this route definately from all over the world bringing the Netherlands into their home as were they are and driving this masterpiece of a route, embodying all aspects of the Dutch Hollandse countryside with its typical sheep clouds soaring the sky and loved by so many people around the world. This will be by far the most exclusive route that should come to TSW concerning the cramped houses, flourishing route, landmarks, infrastructure, rolling stock and environment beared by a metro like timetable
