The last few days I have been working on a small route, using a train which was originally used as an easteregg feature to the Rijndam 2020 transport museum. But I had to take it out, as Rijndam 2020 had grown too large, and removing this item improved framerate on that entire network.
Now, I have made a few enhancements to it, and gave it it's own route. I present to you:
The Arend was one of the first steam locomotives which ran between Amsterdam and Haarlem in 1839. The Dutch national railway museum in Utrecht has a fully functional replica of this locomotive, build in 1939 (https://youtu.be/ZmRmPdpFlho), but sadly, they can't really use it as it is a broad gauge locomotive (1935mm), so they can not drive very far (from the inside exhibition location to an outside platform and back).
In Metrosimulator, I have build a small circular fictional park railway, in broad gauge, with two stations.
The train itself comes from username "Rubus" on the 3D Warehause database. I have given it a large revision to make it suitable for use in Metrosimulator, added animations, and build a route for it.
To be available as an add-on in a few days time....

Re: Arend Steam Railway
This is just a mini project. I'll get back to metro's after this. And due to the broad gauge, using this train om the metro routes is not an option.

Re: Arend Steam Railway
Great job Sjoerd! Can we see more screenshots of this project? Will this add-on will be updated in the next version, or this will also be compatible with 3.12?

Re: Arend Steam Railway
Thanks.
Another question: like the HSM and MSG2P add-ons, will it be also possible to run this train in any network, running on Explore mode?
