First thanks for all the advices/comments
For coding, I asked
Colossal404 to code an old project called North of France
viewtopic.php?t=74730 but I paused it, I've asked
Colossal404 to code the Belgian local Transport Pack.

I usually play a Dutch scenario (thats what got me developing the Dutch Station Addition Set ages ago
) and there is one type of train that I would really like to see in my scenario, the MS75 "pigs nose"
https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS75 (Sorry, in Dutch, couldnt find an english version on Wikipedia).
Its the stoptrain from Antwerp (Belgium) to Roosendaal (The Netherlands), I havent been able to convince the developers of the Dutch Train Set to include it.
Which I can understand a bit, I believe they only wanted to include the international intercity trains that also stop in some major cities in The Netherlands and this train only stops at Roosendaal, the first Dutch station it can stop at after it crosses the border. A rather short international line
Making it not really interesting enough for them to include it in their set
However, being born and raised in Roosendaal and often visiting my mother who still lives there and who has a view from her house on the Roosendaal railline, where you can see that train every hour, makes me often think about it being nice if that train was available in OpenTTD, certainly with the Roosendaal trainstation being in development.
Seeing a new artist drawing Belgian Public Transport stock does mean that I give my request for Belgian Trains (and the MS75 in particular) a new chance
By the way dldwg, why did you remove the graphics of the trams? I believe those could be seen/downloaded when you first started this thread, now only the overviews are left.
The Belgian/French Lille (Rijsel) - Tournai (Doornik) line is even shorter
As of now I'm only drawing trams then buses and then trains.
I drew some sprites a while ago but I lost them since, but I found those on my old account @masterus so after I get done with the local transport pack I'll redraw those.
I'm not using other sprites as I use a 2,5 px/m (orthographic) 2 px/m (isometric), those old sprites (except the first one) used the TDD 50% size ratio which is actually not accurate.
But I'm thinking of including the MS08 Desiro ML in the tram pack, the Nederlands have a true lightrail/tram-train/Sneltram network (HTM RegioCitadis, Connexxion) but none of this exist in Belgium or France, those "light" trains are used on similar lines or S-Bahn lines...
For the trams I removed them accidentally but I will put them back during the night, I'm actually recoloring them using the TTD Palette Color, I used another palette before and it looked.....
