NS VIRM, VIRMm and VIRMm 2/3
The VIRM
One of the most iconic trains to have ever driven on Dutch rails.
The VIRM is a double decked train that was first ordered in the 90s to run between different regions, called the "Regiorunner".
In the 00s the NS ordered more of these and lengthened the original trains to combat train shortages.
Recently in 2016 the NS started modernising the oldest of these, VIRM-1 which became VIRMm, Verlengd InterRegio Materieel moderniseerd.
This mod contains all the VIRMs: VIRM, VIRMm and the VIRMm 2/3. I’ve decided to make two versions of these:
The VIRM(m) as it’s being run in the Netherlands, and a VIRM(m) with its designed specifications. I deem this train the VIRMmax. The VIRMmax also has 1,5x the amount of power and extra standing capacity, as this makes it better balanced with other mods/trains.
Specifications of the VIRM(m):
Top speed = 140kph
Max configuration = 6+4+4
Specifications of the VIRMmax:
Top speed = 160kph
Max configuration = 6+6+6+6
Total power = X1,5
Standard seats + standing capacity
Shared specifications:
4 part VIRMm / VIRMmax:
Max pax = 402 / 588
Maintenance = $5200/day
Running cost = $36 per km + $0.01 per pax/km
Train length = 108m
Price = $6.4 million
6 part VIRMm:
Max pax = 600 / 876
Maintenance = $7200/day
Running cost = $52 per km + $0.01 per pax/km
Train length = 160m
Price = $8.6 million
The longest realistic train you can run, (6+4+4) will give you a total pax count of 1404, and a train length of 375m.
The longest VIRMmax train you can run, (6+6+6+6) will give you a total pax count of 3504, and a train length of 640m.
