Frisia Western Lines
This route is a rail network modelled on the Dutch Province of Friesland (Frisia) as it was in 1965 with a dense timetable featuring 4 or more services per hour on each line. I wanted to create a network with authentic station layouts, realistic distances, curves and enough traffic to let it come alive.
There are 3 lines to explore with 23 stations and a total length of 152 km or 94 miles (and far more track). Two lines are single track and both terminate at a harbour city with connecting ferries. The 3rd line is double track and offers direct connections to major Dutch cities, such as Amsterdam and The Hague.
== NEW ==
- Water and improved signalling (utilising maintenance update features)
- Dutch Railways (NS) style liveries: subscribe to ‘NS Livery Pack’ collection and select the ‘NS Livery Timetable’.
Tips:
– Set the drawing distance > 150% (under graphic options). This helps with the open landscape.
– I’ve marked a handful of interesting services with an asterisk, just to get you started.
Notes:
– The entire route has been converted to left hand drive.
– While created close to the actual network, some freight-only tracks / sidings are missing.
– The mainline was electrified in 1952 but this is not modelled.
