Beta 3.17

Post by Michiel »

Time for an official topic :D

As you might have guessed from the activity elsewhere in the forum, Beta 3.17 will focus on trams. Different from previous installments, these trams will be driven 'on sight' for most of the route. That means no overspeed protection and no signals, except for complex junctions. More on how this works later. Today the first testruns on Hageningen tram 13 were completed, here are a few screenshots to show the current work in progress:

TFS tram serving line 13 approaching tram stop 'Schapenmarkt'.

Image
At Schapenmarkt, line 13 drives between Theater and Strandboulevard via Hageningen Centraal.

Image
Approaching the junction at Hageningen Centraal, here signals control entry because of poor line of sight. We go straight.

Image
Heading up the ramp to Hageningen Centraal upper level.

Image
From here signals will be used again as we joint the lightrail.

Image
Start of ZUB train protection.

Image
Code received, speed limit 70km/u.

Image
Driving past the beach.

Image
Approaching Strandboulevard.

Image
Getting ready for the return journey.

Image
Approaching Hageningen Centraal again, inner platform, ZUB protection just switched itself off.

Image
Down the ramp, signal clear to pass over the junction straight.

Image
Points set to turn left towards the Church.

Image
City centre, going straight here.

Image
Theater, final stop, signal cleared to head into the reversing loop (platform 5).

Image
At the reversing loop, ready to head back for another trip!

The tracks of the railway have been laid down and signals have been plaecd, but there are no buildings, no scenery, no overhead wires so don't expect the Essim railway to be completed anytime soon.

Nice! Pin this topic, replacing 3.16.
Line 13 is a true light rail line. Rapid transit on one end, local tram on the other.

Personally I think line 12 will be the best lightrail example as it actually goes all the way to Zoutplas. Line 13 stays within the city boundaries of Hageningen and it does not have a direct route, in fact Theater and Strandboulevard are actually quire close together. It's a direct line only for convenience, but very few passengers will take it all the way around the city from end to end. Line 12 on the other hand will see passengers travel the full line from Hageningen Megamall to Zoutplas Molenpark.
