Updated the pantograph in the texture :) I think it looks nice with the two different ones anyway and I want to leave it with only one variant for now

No in normal service, just the one pantograph is used. If you want to know which, I can check them as they go past.

I'll take a look at it later. So they have two different pantographs? Single in front and Double in back right? Also I found an image where they're in double traction, is this used in normal service?

I don't know how much variations you want to include in this mod, but some (all) GTL8's did later get a pantograph update, from the double-arm in the picture and the mod, to a single-arm pantograph. See https://www.flickr.com/photos/flyingjoost/13902251588 .
Indeed, I think the tram on your cover photo does have a single arm in front (lowered), with a double-arm panto raised on the back.

Oh okay, I'll edit that... I'm not that familiar with the trams in NL :) Thanks for the comment!

It is actually STILL in service, running 3 lines and will continue in service for at least another 5 years.

Thanks for the mod though.
