Kromhout - Dutch themed city

[marsh elbow]

How much time have you spent on the city

[junior forge]

8 months

[bold flicker]

utrecht

they sound amazing, the tracks are smooth as butter especially on the line extension to campus

only a shame the network is small with just one main line with 2 branch lines in one end of the city

so you can see the tram goes pretty much exactly in the gap where the trains don't (gray lines in this schematicized map)

they use the CAF Urbos trains

@junior forge awesome work by the way!

[junior forge]

i was talking about vehicles (even tough they did make an asset for this exact tram but its not very well made)

[bold flicker]

yeah I am aware, maybe better luck with budapest, I know they also use the caf urbos in pretty much the same colourway

[junior forge]

would love to use it one day to see ijsselstijn

[bold flicker]

well ijsselstijn isn't much to look at imo

[junior forge]

true true, there are talks to built a premetro style tunnel for these to go in

[bold flicker]

yeah with much opposition unfortunately

I mean understandably

last tunneling job in amsterdam didn't go over smoothly

[junior forge]

yeah its always painfully expensive

[bold flicker]

mhm

[bold flicker]

here in budapest^^

[junior forge]

oh yeah the same model and almost the same paintjob!

[bold flicker]

exactly

slightly darker colour yellow I guess haha

[junior forge]

I need to have an excuse to use the system right lmao

[bold flicker]

whahaha

then I recommend taking the new line to campus

[junior forge]

Zoetermeer also has nothing to see but i wanted to use its tram system hahaha

[bold flicker]

has a connection to an elevated train station where it goes up to the level of the platforms, which is cool, goes through some fields and grassy tram tracks

and just generally pretty views, east part of utrecht is mostly like 19th century luxury homes, so still dense but with lots of parks and green space

[junior forge]

Vaartsche rijn right

[bold flicker]

though the bicycle infrastructure is quite outdated

[junior forge]

ohhh nice

[bold flicker]

yes that's where the tram joins indeed

[bold flicker]

yeah pretty much the only good memory of zoetermeer I have is buying my motorcycle there lol

[junior forge]

hahahahaha

[bold flicker]

I go through it sometimes bc I study in delft, and its train station is depressing

I mean it's good that they have one, and that's pretty much the only good thing I can say about it 😭

[junior forge]

@bold flicker these plans would be pretty neat

[junior forge]

Intercities dont even bother stopping there 😭

[bold flicker]

I know 😭

[junior forge]

the location is so poor too

[bold flicker]

yeah

it's like close to the hague

but just barely too far

to be convenient

[junior forge]

yeah lmao

[junior forge]

but also the station placement

[bold flicker]

yeah it's awful

it's like spreading across a highway with its 2 entrances 😭

[junior forge]

😭😭

[trim belfry]

[supple hamlet]

hes working on #1209145385189249084 rn

[trim belfry]

81 tiles mod

[supple hamlet]

if the trains brakes are broken its gonna be a free beach day

[junior forge]

[trim belfry]

[pale ginkgo]

I only found this topic now and maybe im not allowed to bump such old topics, but I just want to tell that this is awesome and such an inspiration for my Dutch town! ❤️

[junior forge]

Love to hear it thank you! :))

I have been working on a different project for a while Wagenvoort maybe you can look at that aswell for inspiration 😁
