I wonder if you'd be interested in doing a repaint for Akamas' amazing Desiro ML into the NMBS colors?
It's a very prominent piece of equipment on the Belgian railway lines nowadays and having it available for Train Fever would help a ton in order to play a (small) Belgian map.
I've included a link to the Desiro ML's NMBS/SNCB colors in the hope you'll like them.
Should there be issues or difficulties in repainting, I can hop over to the main station and take detailed pictures of whatever angles you need.

Glad to see you of all people taking on the Desiro!
I have schematics available if you still need them, and I can go to the train station to take detail pictures where needed.

Feel free to PM me if I can help!

Wow, not only did the ICE1 turn out great; a true masterpiece next to the ICE3, BR101 & Frecciarossa; but it released on my birthday as well!
I can only applaud Merk for his impressive work of art. Thank you, from a railfan to another.

Actually, I can do a slight bit more and donate a small token of my appreciation as well; which I've done. It's nowhere near what it deserves, but I hope it's something..

I am so hyped for the impending release; I'm afraid it won't be a "geburtstag" release for me, but I look forward to hours of fun with the ICE 1 nonetheless!

Ah, understood!
Thanks a lot for taking the trouble to reply [in English], much appreciated.

I am so, so very pleased to see that the ICE 1 is still coming, and this week to boot. (My birthday is the 2nd of October, so I can consider it an early birthday gift!)
Merk (and the entire TF community for that matter), I apologize for my German being too awful to risk using it, but am I right in understanding there'll be a full 12 wagon version and a shorter one?
Or will the 12 wagon version be the only one? Cause then I'll need to adjust some stations on the routes I had intended to use it on.

Either way, great work, and I genuinely can't wait for your effort to come to completion.

Any chance of this model getting an FGW repaint?

I too am waiting fondly for the ICE1. Is anyone by chance (interested in) working on the remaining parts of the family? The ICE2, ICE-T & ICE-TD? Would be nice to have the TD especially, for some non-electrified lines or so.

Swiss, thanks for the heads up!
My apologies, didn't realise they compressed in the upload.
I have them in 1200 x 750 drawings as well; some in 2k x 1k, but I can get the larger blueprints for each model if anyone is interested.
I just uploaded them to show I do have the plans.

Actually, seeing as I'm busy anyway uploading schematics anyway, I'll take the liberty of uploading 2 more!

In sequence: the HLe 11, the loco that goes with the repaint of the NS ICR carriages (the ones in bordeaux livery), and the AM75, because it's my personal favorite, and I'm thus hoping someone might be interested in it.
There's also the AR41, our DMU's, but I'll upload those if anyone is actually interested. I'd love them in game too, considering we're rather lacking in DMU's for now!

Thanks for reading!

Swiss, I've sent you a PM.
But I'll upload one of the plans I have here as well; perhaps they're good enough?

EDIT:
Had a reply from Swiss, I'd like to mention I can supply people with detail shots of the Desiro ML as well, there's a ton of them in Antwerp-Central.
On top of that, I can also get other plans if need be, I've got some contact with the NMBS, so it shouldn't be too hard to do.

Here's hoping perhaps Akamas -who makes AMAZING ÖBB stock- is interested... after which someone could make an NMBS/SNCB paint!

Just wanted to share my agreement with TiberiumFreak (Hope you're with the Brotherhood!); I'm really hyped for this train. Amazing, amazing work is done on these ICE's and I can only admire the skill, talent and dedication it must take. You've got a Belgian fan in me.

Amazing work! Been waiting for this one for a looong time.
This, the CRH3A, the ICE1 (and TD, if I'm honest) and the ICN are the 4 I felt I was still missing in TF, aside from SNCB stock.
Good job!

Emperor, if you're still here, I'd happily pair up with you to get some Belgian stock in-game!
My German is abbhorent, but I can understand it; so perhaps with my technical drawings, pictures (I live near Antwerp-Central, so I can snap detailed pictures when needed) and yours + your German, we could help any modders still interested in making NMBS/SNCB stock with whatever they need.

I'd also like to refer to my thread I made way back too:
Belgische Züge - Belgian Trains

And I've also got an AM96 I had asked someone to work on; although I think he's pretty much lost interest, so... if someone could/would want to complete it...?
I also wish to apologise to everyone that was interested in making NMBS/SNCB stock a thing in the meanwhile, I had some personal health issues that kept me away.

EDIT:
Manni, afraid I can't help you with the Hondenkop as it's NS Stock and the Dutch seem to have all the stock they care for, so I'm not sure there'll be more coming (I hope so though!).
But I do have the schematics for the AM62, as attached here for any and all interested modders. While not my favorite, I'd love to see it in game as well.
I'll also attach the schematics for the (new) HLe 13 - "Tractis" for Emperor.

I also attached the schematics of the AM96, of which I have a semi-complete model waiting for someone more competent.
It could perhaps prove useful for the IR4 in the Scandinavian user-DLC?

Thanks for reading!

Oh god, yes!
This would be amazing to have.
Not just to expand the already lavish ÖBB stock, but because that train can be easily repainted into NMBS/SNCB colors.
We have tons of those Desiro ML's running here.

It just so happens I have the technical drawings & data for them; I'd be happy to share them with you Mediziner or anyone willing to make it.
... I'd just hope for a NMBS repaint in return.

Hello everyone, just a quick question, is there a sort of 'mod list' that details all available mods per country and -ideally- their components?
I've been trying to get an old save working, but I'm getting a lua error because the carriage [waggon] that has a part named 'ew_ir_2.mdl' isn't installed.

I spent the whole day searching the library for it, the only thing I found -via google- is that it's apparently a part of an EW IV repaint into DB InterRegio carriages, 1st & 2nd class, available starting from 1988.
If anyone has the mod saved, or could link me to it, that'd be great.

Maik, thanks for the help.
Unfortunately, I seem to have been mistaken, the file I'm looking for is the ew_ir_2.mdl, not ew_iv_2.mdl.

An old 'mod list' refers to a repaint of the EW IV in DB InterRegio Colors, with a 1st and 2nd class, available in 1988, but I can't seem to find it in the library, nor can I find a saved copy on my computer.
Does anyone still have that mod saved?

EDIT: Apologies for hijacking the thread, but the UTF-8 issue does seem to be solved, for now. Great work from UG.

Does anyone still remember which mod contained the ew_iv_2.mdl?
For some reason, my USA save works again, so I'm trying to fix my older saves too, but I can't find the mod that contains ew_iv_2.mdl... Help would be appreciated!

If anyone is still having issues, the patch seems to work; especially after a clean install.

I'm beyond fed up with the fact that every time they update, the save files don't work anymore. I can't get any of my save games to work anymore since their mod organisation system was put in place, and now there's this UTF-8 nonsense preventing me from even starting anew. I've had it.

If anyone can help me try and get the game working again, I'd be eternally grateful, but my German isn't good enough to troubleshoot it with the help of the dominant threads on this forum unfortunately.

The HLe Class 11.
Yes, been trying to get someone to mod it as well, the carriages already exist.

I've got a model of the AM/MR96 just about ready, but I'm looking for someone to texture it as well and doing tiny detailing, my texturing is godawful and I think the guy that -kindly- agreed to start on it is at his limits.
Anyone interested in helping out?
