    A fantastic Dutch addition to Train Sim World 5 would be the IJssellijn running from Arnhem to Deventer via Zutphen. This scenic route follows the river IJssel, passing through beautiful Dutch landscapes and historic towns. It supports both Intercity and Sprinter services with modern trains like the NS FLIRT and DDZ, alongside freight hauled by the classic Alsthom 1700.

    As an optional expansion, the Koningslijn from Dieren to Apeldoorn, operated by the VSM (Veluwsche Stoomtrein Maatschappij), could introduce vintage steam and diesel services using locomotives like BR 50 307, NS 2530, and 2459. Additionally, the line between Zutphen and Apeldoorn could feature Stadler GTW DMUs, commonly used for regional diesel passenger services on that stretch.

    This route would deliver a rich mix of modern NS services, classic freight, and nostalgic steam, all set against the backdrop of Dutch rail realism.
