Amsterdam S1/S2 & S3/M4
Posted: 26 Dec 2022, 22:32
New project: Amsterdam type S1/S2.
This is the Amsterdam answer to the Rotterdam SG2 5200-series. A metro which is also usable for tram duty. In Amsterdam they used to switch between metro-mode and tram-mode at station Amsterdam Zuid, by raising/lowering the pantographs (each unit has two pantographs, and they were always both used) and folding up/down footplates at the doors (on the metro section of the line, the platform edge is further from the vehicle compared to the distance on the tram section of the line. Foldable footplates bridge the gap).
I have just spend a few hours in Sketchup working on this train type, and here is the status at the moment:
Note the two different passenger doors; the red one is in preparation to also do the original livery. Just incase
In Metrosimulator this train will be usable on all lines that will also take the RET SG2 trains.

Question to you:
Does anyone have any good pictures of the drivers cabine? I only have one, and it isn't a sharp picture. Any help with this will be appreciated!
(Pictures sharp enough to read the labels at the individual controlls are the most helpful ).
