The Intercity's from the 500 series were still running Mat '54 and were slowly replaced by ICM. With a few exceptions, the 700 series was fully finished with ICM. The 8100 series with Mat '64 or Mat '54 In 1987, even more ICM material flowed in and the mat '54 wing train service from the 500 series between Rotterdam / The Hague and Groningen / Leeuwarden was gradually replaced by ICM. The rush hour is about to start and today in the spring of 1987 you can take train 560 from Groningen to Utrecht CS. You hit the road with Mat '54. You take the train first to Zwolle where it is combined with the part from Leeuwarden with destination The Hague CS, then you take the train all the way to Utrecht CS where colleagues will take the trains to Rotterdam CS and The Hague CS. This is a realistic scenario. All AI passenger trains in the scenario run according to the real NS timetable from Sunday 1 June 1986 to Saturday 30 May 1987 Service schedule for freight trains in the scenario are fictitious. Pay attention!!! Because this is a realistic 1980s scenario, as much rolling stock as possible was used that actually drove those train series. This means that there is also Dutch Classics equipment in the scenario and it is difficult for some computers to play or the scenario cannot be played. An exception is the train service to Kampen, because there is still no DE-2 (PlanX), it has been replaced in the scenario by the DH-1 and DH-2 (Wadlopers)
