Do they and will they use a Brecknell Willis pantograph? Or will it be the stock pantograph?

I don't think they have pantographs in real life only 3rd rail

All metro's from Amsterdam have a (tiny) pantograph as the depot does not have third rail.

I installed/animated it this morning....
Indeed; it is only ment for low speed shunting in the Diemen depot.

And the real one:

In the simulator; this will not be much use.... If the overhead wire is higher then 4,7 meters, it won't reach it. And the standard height in the simulator is 5 meters.
In the screenshots above; here the wire is at 4,5 meters.

I could make it longer....?

Looking great, Sjoerd! :D Finally a Amsterdam metro on the simulator.

Could you make an activity for Simvliet using these trains?

I think it will be perfect on the line C.

Update :)

On the inside, the LED indicators at the doors are now functional.

With the [ and ] keys, you can indicate to the travelers on which side the doors will open at the next station. The LEDs will light up in white:

When you open the doors, the LEDs will turn green:
Image

When the doors are closing, the LEDs turn red:
Image

If you haven't done so already, deactivate the white ("platform on this side at next station") indicator before the doors are closed, or the LEDs will return to white again once the doors are closed. You can do this using the [ or ] key again, or by pressing \.

On the outside, the R-Net markings have been added (created by RSG3);

Well, the R-Net series should be split into it's own category when spawning them in explorer mode, including the RET 5700 series. Or the most predictable route to go, RET vs Amsterdam
