Any thought given to a Dutch route?

   I understand why you guys focus heavily on UK routes (I have Western Mainlines and SECML myself, both great routes), but I think Just Trains would do a great job with a route in the Netherlands. I'm no expert on that region, so I don't have a useful suggestion for a particular route. But you have so many interesting-looking Christrains locos for sale here and no appropriate place to run them. 

I know there are apparently some very good freeware Dutch routes out there, but they require so many assets from so many different sources that some people avoid them (that's been my excuse, at least). I'd love to see a solid payware route in the Netherlands available to justify picking up some of those Christrains locos, and JT has shown an occasional willingness to do other regions.

	Sadly the thing is that we (Just Trains) know very little about the Dutch Railway system and so would be very hard to create a route for it and we know nobody who really does who would like to build a route, but be assured that if we did we would! :-)

	That makes sense, local knowledge is certainly critical to creating a high-quality route. I appreciate the response.
