Question and the BD car and involving the HSL

NJTFAN1235! · Post by **NJTFAN1235!** » 03 Apr 2024, 05:54

So the TRAXX can run the HSL, so what about the BD control car? Can it run on a HSL as well without a locomotive?

CraftyJayden · Post by **CraftyJayden** » 03 Apr 2024, 13:06

Nope it can only drive with the TRAXX because and in rl the BD Control car isn't enabled anymore because it needs a 1700 to be able to drive

The BD control car is designed to be used with the NS1700 locomotive, and is only equipped with ATB train protection. It has no ETCS, so it cannot run on the front of the train on the HSL.

However... When the Traxx locomotives were introduced, there has been an attempt to convert them to work with the Traxx locomotives, including building in the ETCS system. This would make them usable for push/pull operation on the HSL. They never finished it, as the project proved to be too expensive. In the end, it was more cost effective to run the trains with a TRAXX locomotive on both ends. So the driver cabin on the BD carriages is not used anymore (as they only run with TRAXX locomotives now; the NS1700's are out of service).

In the simulator... There is a BD which has the TRAXX controls instead of the NS1700 controls... I have put that in as an easteregg... You can't get to it in explore mode, but I have put it in an activity which came with the TRAXX addon (running in one of the TRAXX+ICR+TRAXX consists), so you can find the XML-code there to use it in your activity.

What does BD mean in this case?

Sjoerd · Post by **Sjoerd** » 03 Apr 2024, 13:58

To be strictly correct... It is actually "BDs".

The letters say something about what's on board:
A - There is a 1st class passenger compartment
B - There is a 2nd class passenger compartment
C - There is a 3rd class passenger compartment (not in use anymore since 1956)
D - There is a bagage area / service area

s - stuurstandrijtuig (control car)

So a BDs is a control car with a 2nd class compartment and a bagage area (in this case the area directly behind the drivers cab).

Okay, moving on from that, so I was gonna ask a few more things that are not seen by anyone else:

How many mins does it take from Zeeburg to Ypenburg and back and from Noordvliet to Rijndam Airport?

I want to combine these two services into one service and build a timetable. But I have aa feeling I may miscalculate.

Also, In the IC-SW & IC-WS, why would the train skip Rijndam Blaak, there's the tram routes T2 & T3 and the Rijndam Line 6, if they got on this train, how could they get back to Rijndam Blaak?

Few possible alternatives:

Take Rijndam Rail to Blaak.
Take M1 to Stadhuis, change for M6 to Blaak.
Take T1 to Station Buitenvelden, change for T2, or T3.

Okay. here's my coding input for the service.

It is not designated as an intercity stop. You can't have Intercity trains stop at every station....
So transfer to a local train ("Sprinter") or use the city's metro's / trams.

"Stopt verder op alle stations": After these, this train will stop at all intermediate stations (until it reaches the final destination).
