The Dutch Tram Set was born on July 18th of 2007. Actually, to be more precise, public development of the set started on that very day. After months of hard work, the first public beta release of the set was made available on October 24th of that same year. The first beta contained a fair share of vehicles. The set was received well by the public. The main complaint was for it being not compabitble with the Long Vehicles set. This issue was resolved in Beta 2.1, a few more trams were added and the set was made compliant to the Road Vehicle ID Guidelines in order to make it even more compatible with other sets.

'''Want to help?'''
 
 
You can help the development of the Dutch Tram Set in the following ways:
 
 
===Help by drawing new vehicles===
 
Basically all trams that were ever used in the Netherlands are acceptable, but the main focus is public transport and historically important trams. If you want to draw a tram, pick one you like (and that is not drawn already). It's useful to announce what you will be drawing in the [http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?t=33180 development topic]. Once you have something to show, you can post the results in that very topic. Once the vehicle is done, it will be appreciated if you create a ticket for it in the [http://dev.openttdcoop.org/projects/dutchtramset/issues issue tracker], so that it can be added to the set. If you don't feel like creating an account at the DevZone, just posting it in the development topic will be fine as well.
 
 
If you don't know what to draw, but still want to draw something, please have a look at the [[Dutch Tram Set/Vehicle Properties|properties page]] and pick a tram that is not in the set but with (some) properties readily available.
 
 
'''About 2CC''': When you draw a vehicle, you only have to draw it in it's real livery. I can then convert it to 2CC in a minute with more than acceptable results. All current 2CC vehicles have been converted that way. Of course you're free to do the 2CC conversion yourself or you can tweak the automated conversion afterwards if you like.

===Help by doing research===

The following people contributed to the Dutch Tramset:
If you can't draw (or think you can't draw; it's worth a try!), you can still help by finding certain properties of the real life vehicles. Besides the graphics, these properties are also needed to get newly drawn vehicles in the game! It is not necessary to find all required properties for a particular vehicle.

A separate [[Dutch Tram Set/Vehicle Properties|properties page]] has been set up where all vehicle properties will be collected. This page is already filled with the properties of some vehicles. If you like to see a vehicle in the set that is not listed, you can add it there (just copy the template provided and fill it).

Vehicles in Dutch Tram Set RC1

The Dutch Tram Set is a tram vehicle NewGRF for OpenTTD and TTDPatch. It contains a selection of Dutch trams from the past as well as trams that are still in use today (plus a number of fictional future trams for later game years). The set is aimed to give a historical overview of Dutch trams, while ensuring quality gameplay through customized statistics.

The Dutch Tram Set was born on July 18th of 2007. Actually, to be more precise, public development of the set started on that very day. After months of hard work, the first public beta release of the set was made available on October 24th of that same year. The first beta contained a fair share of vehicles. The set was received well by the public. The main complaint was for it being not compabitble with the Long Vehicles set. This issue was resolved in Beta 2.1, a few more trams were added and the set was made compliant to the Road Vehicle ID Guidelines in order to make it even more compatible with other sets.
