Jokes aside, I can't wait the hear what they sound like.
Wow, I didn't expect that. I mean... I said "I can improvise in this case." Only because of that NS catenary glitch near Westplein depot, towing panto mounted trains was huge pain in the [expletive censored], but Sjoerd fixed it.Sjoerd wrote: ↑09 Dec 2018, 11:42Okay, I have solved it. a switch, making one of the workshop tracks turned over to the RijndamRail trains directly reachable to both trains and metro's.brozma wrote: ↑30 Nov 2018, 19:20And another option how to get metro train on NS railway network goes down the drain!Sjoerd wrote: ↑29 Nov 2018, 22:48 A small change in the Rijndam 2022 (v1.3) Molenwijk depot track layout.
As stated earlier, RijndamRail can get maintenance services at the sidings next to the Molenwijk metro depot. With a new series of doubledecker trains, it can be desirable to get easier acces to the main maintenance facility (rather then shunting around a lot).
As not all tracks in the workshop are needed for metro rolling stock, a small change has been made to create direct acces from the train tracks to the workshop's two short tracks (each long enough for one RR-DDM train).
The other 4 (through) tracks remain in use for the metro system. If needed, the two short workshop tracks can ofcourse still be reached from the metro system... but that would require shunting around a bit with a locomotive.
This not only makes that track more flexible (trains on both networks can be serviced here), but it also gives you another option to get metro's to the train tracks.
