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 5000, numberings: 5001-5027, total 27 sets, years built: 1966-1967.
Second batch: MG2-II series 5050, numberings: 5051-5066, total 16 sets, years built: 1969-1970.
Third batch : MG2-III series 5100, numberings: 5101-5126, total 26 sets, years built: 1973-1974.
Fourth batch: MG2-IV series 5150, numberings: 5151-5152, total 2 sets, years built: 1975
The fleet was refurbished between 1985 and 1989. The trains were always limited to the D section of the North-south line and the C section of the East-west line if necessary, because the trains were never equipped with pantographs for overhead wire but third rail shoes instead. Thus the trains cannot operate between Capelsebrug and Binnenhof/De Tochten. The trains were also never fitted with the ZUB protection system to operate on the "Randstadrail" system which runs on the E section of the North-south and Hofplein lines. The fleet consists of 71 sets.

In the virtual town "Simvliet" these trains can be used on third rail-electrified sections of the network only.
