On a summer evening in 2007 you will drive a DDM1 as 2285 from Roosendaal to Rotterdam CS because the planned VIRM has broken down. Dordrecht is the only station you will stop at along the way.

On a warm summer evening you are driving the Benelux train from Essen (B) to Rotterdam. You stop at Roosendaal and Dordrecht.

Due to an event in Breda, extra trains are drive between Rotterdam and Breda. On a sunny winter afternoon you will drive one of these trains. The ride goes from Rotterdam to Breda and back. Along the way you stop at Rotterdam Blaak and Dordrecht.

We go back to 2016, when SGM was still in full service. In this scenario you drive the sprinter service from Dordrecht to Breda and back.

*This scenario contains a lot of trains from Dutch Classics and therefore demands a lot from your computer* It's August 1983 and it won't be long before Mat'46 is out of service. On a sunny summer morning you will drive one of these old servants from Den Haag HS to Haarlem to replace the intercity from Rotterdam to Amsterdam. Enjoy the many nostalgic trains you will encounter!

Due to severe thunderstorms, the overhead line voltage on the entire Oude Lijn has been lost. Some trains could roll to a station, but many could not. You are one of the diesel locomotives that have been asked to tow these trains to a station. Your task is as follows: 1. Get an old coupling trailer from track 26 2. Shunt to track 4 3. Drive towards the stranded train between Hillegom and Lisse 4. Link the train to your loco 5. Drive back to Haarlem track 1 6. Disconnect the train from the coupling car Notes: 1. The switch towards track 8 must be switched manually 2. Signal 108 at the end of track 8 towards track 26 needs to be tabbed 3. When you leave for Lisse you can ignore all signals from Haarlem to Heemstede Aerdenhout. They don't work in the way they should. Ignoring these signals has no effect on the outcome of the scenario Enjoy!

In 2002, NS had a shortage of locomotives. Because the push-pull trains on the IJssellijn had 2 locomotives per train, they used more locomotives than NS could afford. Therefore it was decided to free 4 locomotives by using a number of DD-AR driving trailers (information from a photo on flickr) These trains were used for example on the Eindhoven-Schiphol line. On a summer evening in 2002 you will drive the IC to Schiphol. Due to a widespread signal malfunction, it is not possible to drive further than Utrecht. In part 2 you will return from Utrecht to Eindhoven.

On a rainy autumn morning you will ride the local train from Haarlem to Leiden and back.

July 20, 1994. Due to track maintenance at Halfweg, the 2100 starts in Haarlem instead of Amsterdam CS. The driving times between stations are nice and long. They are based on the real driving times of the 2100.

Due to problems between Middelburg and Vlissingen, there's a shortage of trains. If you enter Roosendaal with the IC from Zwolle, continue to Middelburg and then back to Roosendaal. Because your train consists of 8x ICR without a control car you have to headshunt in Middelburg. Your train consists of ChrisTrains ICRmh carriages instead of a repaint. The 1700 series has of course never driven with this ICR variant, but you now have a passenger view. And that's nice, especially in such a long scenario. AI trains do, however, run with the correct carriages. More information: Stopping points at stations (otherwise the doors may not open) Roosendaal: before the signal Bergen op Zoom: to Middelburg carriage sign 8, to Roosendaal just before the end of the platform Goes: just before the end of the platform Middelburg: end of the platform When headshunting in Middelburg you may have to 'tab' a signal or 2 This is a long scenario (just under 2 hours) with dynamic weather and quite a few AI trains. Your PC may have trouble running the scenario. In that case, let me know if you want.

It is July 7, 2000. The planned SGM from Haarlem to Zandvoort has a defect in it's traction system. A DDM1 takes over. The train is located on shunting track 21 in Haarlem. Shunting must therefore also take place. PLEASE NOTE: In order to return to track 21 at the end of the journey, you must ask the traffic controller for permission to pass the signal. You do this with the 'tab' key.

Extra Intercity to Roosendaal. From Roosendaal you turn as Intercity to Zwolle (3600 series). Because you cannot drive further than Breda in the South West Netherlands route, that is the end point. You call at the stations Rotterdam Blaak, Dordrecht, Roosendaal and Breda. Please note: to enter Roosendaal you must ask the train traffic controller for permission to pass the red entry signal. You do this with the 'tab' key
