Metro simulator forums

Looking forward to the completed product

Me too! I've finally returned to the forums and my lorde there has been some progress around town!

One of the improvements on the NS1700; UIC-numbers.


(The TRAXX will have this too)

The Tunnel Auto Train; a 7-part train consisting of 2 entry/exit end sections (with small passenger compartment where you can go if you don't want to stay with your car) and 5 middle sections where you park your car during transit.
A shuttletrain in the simulator will consist of a locomotive, then two of these autotrain units, and another locomotive.



So... it's a 7-section train now. Are other lengths also needed?
Perhaps a 14-section version (or 15; that will also just fit the platforms at the tunnel terminals)?
Pro: more loading capacity.
Con: slower boarding and alighting, as only the ends of each trainset have large side doors.

You can include a few more variations if you wish but honestly, it's up to you imo.

Is there a chance we can get a video showcasing these trains in more detail?

will we be able to drive them ?

I am adding a few more details at the moment.

Yes; this train will be included in the RijndamRail update I plan to release by the end of the month.

Welcome back, iamhankhamTS. You've got unfinished business here. Since october, I am still waiting for final report about october NS incident, where NS 1700 got it's accelerator stuck on maximum and I had to stop at Rijndam Molenwijk. Well when you were gone, The MAIB decided to tow the defective NS 1700 from the incident into Utrecht where NS has it's central HQ and better equiped depots used for more thorough testing and analysis. I think the cause of this incident was more complicated than I thought.
