And now some information from the readme-file. Not all of it, so I still reconment you read the Readme-file!

INSTALLATION:
-------------
-> Copy "RijndamRail.000" to the folder where Metrosimulator.exe is located. Replace the existing "RijndamRail.000" file.
-> Copy the folder "Data" to the same location. Overwrite when asked.

-------------------------------
*KTM 23 repaint file moved from "custom/textures" to "RijndamRail/textures"
*KTM 31 repaint file moved from "custom/textures" to "RijndamRail/textures"
*ICF repaint files moved from "custom/textures" to "RijndamRail/textures"
*NS 1700 locomotive improved; better locomotive numbers, height of the body lowered a bit, working screw couplers.
*ICF carriages improved; height of the body lowered a bit, working screw couplers, animated footplate over couplers

NEW in this version:
--------------------
*NS 1700 Repaintable locomotive
*NS ICM-1 and NS ICM-3 "Koploper" trains
*NS DDM carriage
*Shimmns freightcar
*Tunnel Auto Train (ment for the channel tunnel route in Rijndam 2022 v1.4, which will be available later)


Make your own repaints:
-----------------------

You can make your own repaints of the repaintable KTM 23 and KTM 31 trams, NS 1700 locomotive and ICF carriages by changing
the textures in the folder "Data\RijndamRail\textures".

You can also repaint roughly the 2nd half of the ICM destinations. The file can also be found under "Data\RijndamRail\textures".

If you want to use the repainted ICM destinations in your own customized CTD-file (belonging to your own activities); the
destination codes for the CDT are "dest23" through "dest38".

This part path in game still located in "Custom\textures\ICF_Repaint.png"

Seats on the repaintable coach still refer to \Data\Custom\Textures.
So as the destination boards on both repaintable and restaurant cars.

Is Metro Simulator Beta getting worse?

[Domi2005]

If I remember correctly, before this update, you could set the destination displays on the ICF via the NS 1700.
Now, with this update installed, I can only set the displays on the ICF if I select the carriage directly as I can't set it via the NS 1700.

I haven't noticed other issues yet, although I see more people complaining about faulty repaintability which I don't use as I'm not into repainting.
However, perhaps test the package more in depth to find such issues without users having to report them.

It's been fixed, re-uploaded, and downloadlinks updated.

Finally, an update, which we were talking about until today. Honestly I didn't expect to have NS ICM-3 in this pack. But the cabin of these ICM units surprised me, especially how speedometer is designed. The speedometer isn't designed as a circle gauge, where needle goes further to the right as the train goes faster, but it's designed as a horizontal white bar, which turns more black from it's left side as the train moves faster.

The Tunnel Auto Train has a minor issue. When the rear pantograph is dropped down during ride (even when the front one is lifted up), the main door opens, no matter if the train is moving or not. I actually solved this issue by disabling the "pantograph" on the car in train bottom menu when doors were shut. This way the main doors stays shut no matter, how you'll play around with loco's pantos. Although don't forget to enable "pantograph" on cars to open them.

The train I used for testing Tunnel Auto Train was arranged like this:
1st: A front NS 1700 locomotive
2nd: A single Tunnel Auto train car
3rd: A rear NS 1700 locomotive
