NS ICNG / Alstom Coradia Stream
This mod adds the NS ICNG / Alstom Coradia Stream to your game.
Contained with this mod are real world variants, as well as a "concept" for those of you who would like to use the train but don’t like or want the NS branding or colour scheme. So the white Concept variant is fully recolourable, so you can make it fit your transport company colour scheme using the colour swatches provided on the in-game vehicle details tab.
I’ve taken as much care as possible to make these train sets true to the real thing. Such details include the first and second class seating (red and blue) and exterior designations of first and second class. These are accurate as compared to the real train sets.
Each car has one window with a section that opens. These are accurate to the real train sets.
The floor height is accurate at 80cm and the coupler block is centered at 100cm above track. Both in accordance with real world Dutch railway standards.
The sound set contains real sounds from actual ICNG recordings.
The variants also have different consist numbers in reality. The standard 5-car ICNG sets are all numbered in the 3100 range, the 8-car sets in the 3200 range. The ICNG sets for Belgium (all in Flow livery) are numbered in the 3300 range, and the sets fresh out of the factory (Factory Black) carry 6000 numbers. This too is accurately reflected in-game as well.
And then there is the flashing light when the doors close, I’ve managed to get that working as well. So before the train departs you’ll hear the door closing sound and the lights will flash red, before they shut.
The passenger capacity is half of what the real world capacity is, if you don’t run any mods that alter passenger capacity. This means if you use a mod to double the numbers, you will get the real world capacities.

I would also like to acknowledge Ragno’s Coradia mod as the inspirator for this project. When I started my modding journey I extensively looked at other mods to learn from and reverse engineer, and of course Ragno’s Coradia mod was an obvious candidate.
During the modelling process I chose to match the dimensions of his model precisely, really in an effort to make a very close match for the Dutch version of the Coradia. For much of the straight parts of the carriage design I exactly or very closely matched Ragno’s Coradia mod which means those parts will be almost identical. This has caused quite the uproar unfortunately and has upset him as a result. I am truly sorry for that, this was not ever my intention, and so to rectify this I wish to acknowledge that fact here.
I will be making further alterations to my models in coming days and weeks to remove these similarities, but I will commit to keeping this acknowledgement up even after the alterations are made as I have learned a lot by studying that mod in general.

I would further like to thank the creator of the Siemens C2 metro mod, of which I studied the animation technique for my flashing door lights, and would also very much again like to thank the members of the TF modding community for all the help and support I received during the creation of this project.
