Swedish Routes Currently Under Development? - Svenska 3D-Tåg

BigVern · 2010-07-10, 10:13

I'm currently thinking of starting a Swedish route in Railworks, possibly part of the Inlandsbanan or one of its branches. However wanted to check that no one else is currently working on a similar project, to avoid duplication.

I presume the main source for Swedish objects are those contained in the test route and those hosted at Banbyggarna?

Thanks.

That sounds great, but I would rather see en electrified line, because of the Rc locomotive...

Look for Swedish objects here in the Download forum too!

I thought about an electrified route but I've always had a special affection for the Inlandsbanan. I didn't realise there was an RC4 locomotive available, I'll have to check that one out. I guess the GARL Class 380 could also pass for a Swedish EMU at a pinch.

I'll have a think about a suitable prototype.

Just as you know, there is some plans to electrify the southern part of inlandsbanan bethween Mora and Orsa. But Inlandsbanan would be great, especelly the southern part!

I have a good nose for sniffing out obscure closed lines (like my Sulitjelma route for RS and TRS). I just noticed there used to be a line from Sveg to Hede, about 72km so ideal for a trainsimming project.

Unfortunately though some of the Google Earth imagery for that area is low resolution so it might be a case of "best guess" to plot the route of the line.

There are a line I really would like to see and that is the old Eskilstuna banan. It went from Stockholm C to Eskilstuna with the branchline Akers styckebruk - Strangnas and the 600mm museum railway Laggesta sodra - Mariefred.

But it is very hard to get info about the line...

Some in Swedish here: http://www.jarnvag.net/index.php/ban...talje-nybybruk

Laggesta in 1980: http://postvagnen.com/forum/index.php?id=132763 Train from Eskilstuna to Stockholm C..

Laggesta in 1993: http://postvagnen.com/forum/index.php?id=95390 In a couple months, no more SJ trains here...

This are the line today (2008): http://postvagnen.com/forum/index.php?id=20201

The line closed in 1994 when a new line to Eskilstuna open.
