    Rolling stock
    This route allows a variety of rollling stock to be used.

    ICNG
    The ICNG (Intercity Nieuwe generatie) is a modern high speed train introduced in 2023 that would be able to run the intercity service between Breda (from Amsterdam or The hague) and eindhoven. The trains is capable of speeds up to 200km per hours and has ATB and ERTMS installed.

    TRAXX (BR 186) + ICRmh
    Is the predecesor of the ICNG, origanally introduced as a temporary solution for the failed fyra trains on the HSL turned into an icon on the dutch rail scene, this train also runs the intercity between breda and eindhoven. These trains are pretty but are sadly slowly being replaced by the ICNG

    STADLER FLIRT

    Is a commuter train (sprinter) introduced because the NS needed extra trains due to growth in the network and couldnt wait longer on the trains of spanish company CAF with the SNG. So the stadler flirt was introduced onto the network in 2016 and is now loved by almost all rail enthusiast in the netherlands as the best sprinter. This train runs on the sprinter lines between Breda (from dordrecht) to tilburg (further to nijmegen/arnhem) And the sprinter line between Tilburg universiteit and eindhoven (/ further to weert)[​IMG]

    DDZ (Dubbeldekkingzonering)
    Is a train used on the intercity line that runs between Breda (from roosendaal) and Tilburg (further to zwolle) The trains are refitted from the old DDAR trains. They are known for being pretty unreliable but they are quite liked by most enthusiasts.

    ICMm (gemoderniseert intercity materieel)
    This train can be re-used from zwolle - groningen if needed to run on the same section as the DDZ if the DDZ can't be made. The ICMm sometimes runs on this line but its quite rare.

    Sum-up:
    Spoorlijn Breda - eindhoven would be a great addition to the train sim world route collection following the beautifull spoorlijn zwolle-groningen. The route includes alot of variety in rolling stock and services.
    Anyways i want to Thank you for reading.
