Seems awfully distopian to me but there we are .Sjoerd wrote: ↑07 Jul 2020, 13:23 Haha, sounds like we're going to get New Amsterdam back
We'll move in, and raise the quality a bit; redesign those basements they call a subway into a proper well-functioning good-looking system, turn most streets on that island into pedestrian zones and cyclepads, and fill up the missing links in the subway with a tramway system on the now carfree streets.

You call pedestrian area's (to increase quality of outside spaces and also air-quality) and public transport (which is much more efficient in moving large amounts of people around then cars) distopian?
It's just a way to increase the overal quality of the city, making it a nicer place to live (.... and giving it it's old name back )
Okay.... Too far offtopic now....

Because the M6 got the new Tracks, the Airport Shuttle trains could get another repaint and destinations for the M6
Hi
Re: Release: MP89 / NS93 / Be 8/8 TL
Why will you place destination of M6 if it's a completely different line?PetttRocket wrote: ↑09 Jul 2020, 18:25 Because the M6 got the new Tracks, the Airport Shuttle trains could get another repaint and destinations for the M6

Re: Release: MP89 / NS93 / Be 8/8 TL
Hello again, everybody
Now that the NS93/MP89 and the Stadler Glasgow Subway have been released, I'm going to show another project for the simulator: another (but older) rubber-tyred metro
(not in-game footage, this is a quick render on Raylectron)
These trains are the Alsthom NS-74 and Alsthom MP-68 (yes Alsthom), for the Santiago Metro and Mexico City Metro respectively.
Both trains are the first trains built for both networks, the NS-74 was based on the Paris Metro MP-73 debuted in 1975 in Line 1 and the MP-68 was based on the Paris Metro MP-59 and debuted in 1969 (nice). Today the NS-74 runs on Line 2 (formerly, now being replaced by the newer NS-16) and Line 5 of Santiago Metro, sharing the line with the NS-93. The MP-68 runs on Line 1, 5 and B of the Mexico City Metro, receiving a refurbishment in 1993 and 1996.
Asbestos not included
The NS-74 in detail:
And the MP-68:
Both trains are very similar in appearance, but the MP-68 is 10cm narrower (the NS-74 is 2.60m wide, and the MP-68 is 2.50m wide).
The only thing left in the NS-74 are the cab controls and later I have to adapt the finished cab to the MP-68.
If you are wondering what these green lights are in the NS-74, those are some LED light that are used on rush hours. The Santiago Metro doesn't have "express tracks" (like a third or fourth track, like NY) so the trains are divided on 2 distinct routes that "sandwitch stations" on each other: The green route and the red route.
That's all for now

Witcher! Where did that come from?
Re: Release: MP89 / NS93 / Be 8/8 TL
I've always admired how other cities in Latin America have had rubber-tyred metros for a long while. Meanwhile we proudly ran 90+ year old trains on our oldest line until not too long ago, and the Japanese tourists came to take pictures of them and giggle
