| The entire fleet got a technical overhaul between 1985 and 1989. The trains were always limited to Eramuslijn From Centraal Station to Spijkenisse and when necessary the Schiedam Centrum or Spijkenisse to Capelle a/d IJssel Secton on Calandlijn, because the trains were never equipped with pantographs for overhead wire but third rail shoes instead. Thus the trains cannot operate on the Capelseburg to Ommond or Zevenkamp Section of the Calandlijn. The trains were also never fitted with the ZUB protection system to operate on the Hofplein Line. The fleet consists of 71 sets. | | The entire fleet got a technical overhaul between 1985 and 1989.

The MG2 stock was the first type of passenger rolling stock on the metro system of Rotterdam . The trains were built in four batches between 1966 and 1975. There are a few visual as well as technical differences between the four batches.
First batch : MG2-I series 5001-5027, total 27 sets, years built: 1966-1967.
Second batch: MG2-II series 5051-5066, total 16 sets, years built: 1969-1970.
Third batch : MG2-III series 5101-5126, total 26 sets, years built: 1973-1974.
Fourth batch: MG2-IV series 5151-5152, total 2 sets, years built: 1975
Midlife Revision
The entire fleet got a technical overhaul between 1985 and 1989. The trains were always limited to Eramuslijn From Centraal Station to Spijkenisse and when necessary the Schiedam Centrum or Spijkenisse to Capelle a/d IJssel Secton on Calandlijn, because the trains were never equipped with pantographs for overhead wire but third rail shoes instead. Thus the trains cannot operate on the Capelseburg to Ommond or Zevenkamp Section of the Calandlijn. The trains were also never fitted with the ZUB protection system to operate on the Hofplein Line. The fleet consists of 71 sets.

5000 series and 5100 series
These trains exist in two series: the first, (on right of the photo) was the older, and it called "5000 series". The second series was called "5100 series" (on the left on photo). It's the only difference (in-game) between two series.
These trains are older materials in Simvliet. They are available in 1982's map by default. In 2013's map,only one (by default) MG2 is present: on a secondary track of BPK.
Operating range
These materials only have third rail shoes, and no have ZUB.
So they can't operate in section B line electrified with overhead line and in ZUB section of A-line. They can therefore only operate in C-Line.
