I guess trains share 1 track in the area, it is a small bug.

Is there something special you want to see from Rijndam 1985?


In the mean time, another 2018 picture :D ;

Is that near Centraal Station?

In Rijndam 1985 I'll suggest you a bus network replacing the trains, while some routes are being reconverted for the metro network, or perhaps an special cargo service, from the Airport to Noorderport, Noordvliet or Freightyard Bergenseweg (for example: transport of fuel for the planes, or pieces for the aircrafts maintenance, as it happens with some airports around the world).

It is between Beestenmarkt and Blauwpoortsbrug, on line M2.

In Rijndam 1985 there are cargo tracks at the Airport (location: the M4 depot in later Rijndam years), Rijndam Noorderpoort (beyond track 715, and opposite the Metro connecting track), and Noordvliet (location: the transportmuseum in later years). How you use them is up to you.

You can use them to shunt away metro units you are not using, but beware of possible vandalism :lol:

i guess i will like to see the station that's changed the most and it's station sign (eras of station and sign)
personally I would use tile art instead of pictures on the station sign, but that's my opinion ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Are you using the older style tunnels in 1985?
also, how far along are you?

Multiple stations have been changed to make them look older. Like Garenmarkt for example;

Tile art? Never thought of it. I like the idea (for one or two stationsigns), but at this moment, I do knot know if I can make it.

No, I have not replaced the tunnels with older syle versions, except in one place where the track layout has changed in such a way that rebuilding was neccesary anyway:

As I see it, once a tunnel has been build, it is unrealistic to assume they will be changed with a more modern look later; why spend money on something the passangers won't see anyway? They would only do that if newer trains need a wider passage, but that is not the case here. So only the Simvlietlaan - Centraal Station part of the underground network uses the oldest style tunnels, as this is the oldest part of the network.
also, how far along are you?
In fact, it is pretty much finished. I am just waiting for a few new objects. While waiting, I am adding some more scenery to some parts of Rijndam 2018. Not neccesary for the release, but so that I have something to do, and to make it look better ;)
