Re: Amsterdam S1/S2 & S3/M4
Hopefully we can then drive the S3/M4 Formula One 😅 Because of the sound 😁 IKR? The S3/M4 really sounds like a mix between Formula One shifting up quickly and a Siemens M1 metro train accelerating from standstill. Now I actually wonder, what sounds Amsterdam M1/M2/M3 makes when accelerating from st...

Re: Amsterdam S1/S2 & S3/M4
First, let me say that I still do not like this design. At all. But it is not a difficult shape (compared to the S1/S2 and S3/M4), and it is an important part of Amsterdam metro history. So this way, I can deliver a more complete set. So you changed your mind and made them. :shock: TBH I did not ex...

Re: Amsterdam S1/S2 & S3/M4
Yes. Located where the normal pantograph is located on the S4-variant: Nice. I hope this tiny shunting panto will be added on Metrosim variant of M4. That way, we can do the same shunting procedure with M4 like we can do with M5 on "Rijndam Metro 2022" map in Bergensweg depot. It is used ...

Re: Amsterdam S1/S2 & S3/M4
TBH when I first saw S3/M4 in this topic. I was so confused about their technical details, like if the S3 also has both 3rd rail shoes and pantos like S1/S2. I tried to look it up first, but I couldn't find any real life pictures of Amsterdam S3, which would show it with 3rd rail shoes exposed and w...

Re: Amsterdam S1/S2
Well.. NGL, to me, Amsterdam S1/S2 looks like a bulky cousin of Amsterdam 11G/12G trams, which is equipped with 3rd rails shoes. Maybe the design of Amsterdam S1/S2 was inspired by Amsterdam 11G/12G trams (or maybe vice versa, IDK). Also, the fact, the Amsterdam S1/S2 was "an answer" for R...

What is GVB Zilvermeeuw? Also that cabin looks like a mix between cabins of NS ICM (Koploper) and ČD Cargo Class 130 (Humpy, Camel).

Re: Lausanne Metro M2
An alternative way of doing it might be to have a long extension cord which you couple to the train in the workshop, long enough to supply power for the train to drive out, and then uncouple it again once the train comes in contact with the powerrails outside. But I could not find any information r...

Re: Lausanne Metro M2
Oh. A map of Swiss metro line. Well, you chose a good line, because as I found out, it runs mostly underground and it's the only line with rubber tires. The reason why is that is because how steep some sections are. The regular steel track train would struggle a lot to climbing up the slope or would...
