[…] if it is not coupled as extra coaches on IC4. I assume that there isn’t room for 7 to 9 coaches when coupled on IC4? Or the IC4 could be extended too - but then it wouldn't be a private operator train, but a Montspoor Railways train extended to you. 7-9 coaches would probably be maximum length ...

A maximum speed of 160 kph is definitely to be preferred, but 140 kph would work. 120 kph is too slow unless it should be overtaken by other trains - this would increase journey times significantly. OK. I didn’t throughly check your engineer’s line reference and simply assumed that a line through t...

[...] I’m certainly not opposed to through coaches or additional, earlier trains from further away (or later evening trains to further away) – e. g. onto a ferry. Nor to competing trains with other liveries. Some more trains may be added later then - but it will not be until the eastern parts of Mo...

Tagchen, as we are all interested in the well-being of our propserous citizens, a local private railway is planning to operate open-access trains to shuttle locals and tourists for day trips and longer holidays into the Cairngorms (famous for hiking and skiing ⛷🎿⛷️⛸🛷🥾): Ski-Trains.png Matias, if yo...

First of all, my apologies for hogging the build schedule. Unfortunately, there was a planning mistake which lead to trains bumping into each other. We can't have that, can we? So a lot of tweaking and testing in my limited spare time had to be done. But here it is, fixed version 27. Oh, and R44 is ...

How do you fill big water areas with water graphics? Would it affect the file size and performance negatively? I want to fill the bay/fjord leading into Coates all the way up from past Selden.

Hi ho, [...] The Czechoslovakian EM 475.1 might be slightly to early, but successor classes 470 and 471 fit nicely. [...] Indeed - and they are already in service on S10/S11/S12 on the only DC-line out of Coates :) Siemens Desiro Electric ended up winning the bid, so expect to see more of them soon...

Ah yes, there are plenty of Diesel Multiple Units But not many Electric Multiple Units

Goedavond, Looking forward to your next build :) For occupational reasons (“Thou shall take all your vacation within the year and not save it for the next year!”) that will take some time. No worries, we all need some time off. Enjoy your vacation! R61 is made of a single-ended locomotive (like FS ...

Version 26 has been uploaded! What's new? Regional services R61, R62, R63, and R67 are now in operation, the whole line from Coates to Pembroke (350 km) is now working. Branch lines to the border to Sascha are also built. And see if you can spot the steam train for tourists ;) R61 is made of a singl...

An hourly service with IR10 Alvechurch - Henley - Trimsaran - Redbanks doesn't sound bad, but maybe it would be faster for passengers to just go via Cairndow? The ‘wing’ to Henley-in-Arden will split off in Bromsgrove and go via Redditch and Studley , so that every small town there will have direct...

This is the current state of Western Montspoor. A sparsely populated coastal area with steep hills (or flat mountains?) - think Wales. aaah, Wales, with steep cliffs along the coast and gentle hills atop them and a lot of narrow gauge railways to carry slate. You know that you're only allowed to ha...

[...] https://i.imgur.com/p0cxcay.png I see that you picked up the loose ends from Warstones. :) I did envisage a local train from Warstones to the border (or further) and an Interregio with Class 612s winding along your coastline. And did you notice that Alvechurch and Henley-in-Arden are both sup...

A new version has been uploaded: 25 - find it in Google Drive, the link is in the first message With this update, Montspoor has gotten a 3rd dimension: Height! The mountains west of Coates are now marked in the layout together with the old mainline Coates - Redbanks over the mountains. The line from...

[...] the timing and overtaking on this line seems to need some refinement … [...] Could you maybe build a cutoff of that big dent between Strone and Redbanks so that southbound trains arrive 5min earlier? Then at least this direction would fit perfectly. Hmm... I'm sure we can manage a quick tunne...
