NS SGM Sprinter
Posted: 19 Jan 2022, 14:48
As I just stated (viewtopic.php?p=33064#p33064) in the topic "RailDetail - NS Mat '64 Development (QUEUED)", in reaction to a post by MG2, my next project is the NS SGM "Sprinter" train.
This type was developed for lines with short stations distances, so high acceleration and relatively low maximum speed (125 km/h). Especially on the Zoetermeer Stadslijn, where stations can be as little as 500 meters apart, this train was ment to provide a more metro-style service (just like the RER in Paris, and the S-Bahn concept in Germany).
I have the following variants already available or being created right now;
NS SGM-II classic NS livery:
NS SGM-III classic NS livery:
NS SGM-II "Citypendel" livery:
The Citypendel livery was used since 1997 on all 30 2-section SGM Sprinter trains, which were used on the Zoetermeer Stadslijn (The Hague Central - Zoetermeer city line, now the domain of the HTM Regiocitadis trams, as the line was converted to lightrail), the Hofpleinlijn (The Hague Central - Rotterdam Hofplein, now the domain of the RET SG3 metro's) and the Hoekselijn (Rotterdam Central station - Hoek van Holland, now also converted to lightrail with Rotterdam metro exploitation).
I am currently working on the interior for this one.
(Yes, I know... The blue back wall of the driver cabin... That's for the modernized version. I'll fix it in the others when I have the cab fully functional. )
NS SGMm-II; The modernised version, as they ran until they were taken out of service, also known as "Vlaflip" livery, model has no seats yet:
NS SGMm-III (modernized version, 3-sections) not on the track yet, but components are ready for it.
The 2-section version, for the pre modernized version, has two sub-variants; trains 2001-2015 did not have a walkthrough connection between both sections. Trains 2021-2035 did have it. During the modernisation, the 2001-2015 also got the walkthrough connection.
