1 About

This NewGRF adds tracks to OpenTTD, based on the systems used in The Netherlands. 
It contains all major tracktypes, including a futuristic one.
It is designed to work with the Dutch Train Set (v2), but will also work for 
other train sets that follow the used labeling scheme.

3 Known issues

Grey tracks when playing with reserved tracks displayed:
When playing with the setting to displaying reserved tracks on, some tracks might 
look weird when reserved. This has to do with the way sprites are defined. 
OpenTTD uses the overlay sprites for junctions, but uses a greyed/darkened
version of the same sprites for reserved tracks. This will cause some partial 
grey third rail and grey tracks.

Metro graphics 3rd rail doesn't connect properly:
In some cases (the 3rd rails don't connect properly to each other. This is because
of the order OpenTTD draws the sprites. OpenTTD draws a part of the rail/tile 
over the 3rd rail, creating a gap.

Incorrect trains available in OpenTTD <r24272
In OpenTTD r24272 the loading of labels for tracks and engines was changed. 
These labels identify the tracks and the engines use those labels to identify on 
which tracks they can run. In OpenTD <r24272 the order of NewGRF's was important,
giving small errors like trains available for the wrong tracktype. Either update 
OpenTTD or load the Track Set before any Train set.

Strange introduction dates of the tracks
Due to the way track introductions are done in NewGRFs, it is not possible to have 
an advanced scheme that would work perfectly. Therefore, it was choosen to make sure 
all tracks that should become available become available during the game, although 
it might happen that this is several years before/after their real introduction. 
See issues #4113 and #4114 on the bug tracker and

If you have a savegame that includes NewGRFs not available on OpenTTD's 
Online Content, then please try to reproduce the bug in a new game 
which has all NewGRFs easily accessible.

If you're using a patched version of the game, please try to reproduce
the bug on an official game build. If you can't reproduce the bug, then
