Nederlandse Spoorwegen liveries in various stages of completion

long time no update, so here's the news:

i'm currently adding different versions of DD-IRM/VIRM and of Plan V. especially the latter is a longer-term activity as there are several different construction series, and these were each extensively modified during their lifespan. i really want them all to accurately reflect every period, so just the research alone has taken entire days....there are different variants almost for every decade so for Plan V this will mean implementing at least 8 or 9 variants. some have modernised interiors and some will have entirely different doors and windows - the newest one is a 2000s variant with increased traction and altered seating nicknamed "Turbo-V".

adding all these variants has to be done sequentially, so i'm finishing the DD-IRM first before moving to VIRM and VIRMm, and with Plan V i'm working backwards from the Turbo-V.

ICR-B stock has been added in all original variants, and the SNCB/NMBS HLE11 locomotive has been adjusted to match. for historical accuracy, there is a baggage-kitchen coach and 1st class passengers have the option of sitting in six-seat compartments. ICRm-B stock and ICR+ will follow in due time. there is also a fleet of ICR apparently going to MÁV-START in 2025....i will be adding this livery as soon as we know more.

for the 1970-1990 period, i'm detailing the Plan E carriages with various advertising options and adding detail to the locomotives of the series 1100-1200-1300. a new Plan K coach has been added which can be used in InterCity trains for the period 1968-1984. also planned for a future version is a fully realised 1400 series locomotive. this class was designed by NS in 1965-66, and then cancelled during pre-production.

taking a small step away from actual reality, the lore requires a later production variant of the SM'90 unit. this type will have been built in large numbers between ca. 1997 and 2002, it's more modern and carries a minimalist livery matching with the DM'90.

Thanks for the updates, liking them!

Which train is the NS Stadler-Werkspoor ICNG? I know its not in the pack, but just out of curiosity

the Stadler ICNG is a strongly modified version of Seamon's SBB Giruno model. it has a different interior and changed scripts and i'd have to ask permission to release it. there are a few issues it has that i would like to fix first however.

Can you add the Plan D Benelux stuurstandrijtuig. I am searching for them al long time on Transport Fever. but never could find one.

i'm probably not the best person to ask for this - the creator in THIS THREAD has recently made a new model for the Plan D and could choose to add a stuurstand variant model. i've only been doing basic modelling so far. it's a very cool coach but it would be quite messy if i tried to build this entire head shape out of an existing Plan D by Oppie.

EDIT: i don't remember making this but i do have a mockup of an ICM-based Benelux stuurstand in my design folder from a year ago. i could have a go at putting this one in the game for funsies.

also, i don't think i've shown the FLIRT yet - it hasn't been touched in a while. but this too will be receiving further detailing before being added. there will be the NS version included in the modpack, and a plain liveried Stadler unit released separately for those interested in repaints.

there's been a small update to the modpack adding updated textures for DD-IRM and ICNG, and adding missing sound effects to various vehicles. i'm on holiday until march 2nd and will continue working on VIRM and VIRMm after that, adding new interiors and sounds.

another update is coming - Plan U is starting to look a bit more like Plan U now:

the aforementioned Plan K express coach is now available:

and though it has not been mentioned in this thread, i have also been playing with this NS Desiro vehicle which is multi-voltage and can run into either Germany or Belgium:

more next week.
