Recreating Koeblitzer Mountain route into Dutch style and lay-out.
The Koeblitzer Mountain Route is a fictional route that is based on the area of Trier and the Eifel mountains. Never the less this area is quite close to the Limburg area. This creates opportunities to recreate the line Hosven – Wildau – Atlenbeken into a real Dutch style railway line.
Steamtrains Unlimited tried now to recreate the line as mentioned into a part of museum line and a part of regular traffic service. In the past there was a recreation of this line but due to a major crahs during construction the projhect came to an hold. The recreation means the replacement of signals according to Dutch signals and repalcement of catenary later on. Enjoy some screenshots here:
