What else ? Tell me !



The first object I made for this new program is :

n° 1 :          Lunar Station Pierreren 01  
                        Station lunaire Pierreren 01   
                        Estacion lunar Pierreren 01
 
                        kuid2:427808:25753:1

It is a spherical dome 50 meters high and 50 m in diameter. This allows the placement of buildings (in surveyor, you push them under the glass dome) and rails or any other object. For tracks, the dome will not interfere because it does not move when you place them.

n° 2 and 3 :
I then made ​​two kinds of straight tubes of 100 m to reach different domes, one with cement border and one without borders.


I decided to give them the same name with a different number :


Lunar Station Pierreren 02 and 03
Station lunaire Pierreren 02 et 03
Estacion lunar Pierreren 02 y 03

kuid2:427808:25755:1 and kuid2:427808:25756:1

n° 4 :

Then I made a curved tube with a large radius of bend to respect the reality.

Estacion lunar Pierreren 04

kuid2:427808:25757:1 and kuid2:427808:25757:1

You see you can put a road or a track under the glass.


n° 5 :
 
Lunar Station Pierreren 05
Station lunaire Pierreren 05
Estacion lunar Pierreren 05

 kuid2:427808:25758:1 and kuid2:427808:25758:1

 

In fact, it is a "three domes" which is longer than a simple dome and allow to
put more objects under the glass.
you see that it is possible to place under the glass dome buildings high enough, a station with passengers (download AJS stations) and a TGV (see on my content list).
Under the glass tube (n° 4) at right we see catenaries. Why don't you download my catenaries ?


   n° 6 : 

After this "three domes", I thought that I had to give a bigger structure to put more objects inside, so I made a "five domes", named Pendedome :

So, you see the place to put objects is very great ! You can put all you want outside and use them as modern stations in our universe ! With n° 14, you will find the door, as I thought that we need a door to end the tubes or some station.

Lunar Station Pierreren 06
Station lunaire Pierreren 06

Estacion lunar Pierreren 06

kuid2:427808:25759:1 and kuid2:427808:25759:1


n° 7

After trying to enlarge dome by adding more of them together, I tought it will be better to make one of them with a longer size : at first I made one with 140 m length and 50 m width, but only 34 m high.

 

It is better to put inside long buildings and overall a lot of different stations, as they have long platforms.

The diameter of the doors is allways standard (13,5 m outside and 12,5 m inside with 64 sides), so you can make objects to run with these objects.

kuid2:427808:25760:1 and kuid2:427808:25760:1

n° 8
The edge or border of the first 50 m glass dome seems to be insufficient, so I made the same dome with a larger edge, what I named precinct (I don't know why) :

I hope you understand the dome is empty when you download it. Building are also to be downloaded elsewhere.

Station lunaire Pierreren 08
Estacion lunar Pierreren 08

kuid2:427808:25761:1 and kuid2:427808:25761:1


n° 9

The large dome : 200 m in diameter, but still 50 m high ! And the new large precinct or edge or border or what you want !

You can see the two doors on each side : so you are able to put two tracts or two roads, I mean a road and a track crossing the dome. Don't forget that you can close any of the 4 doors with the n° 14.

There is a big place to put buildings, stations, different plants.

n° 22

Large spline tube strengthened with steel rings acting like a bridge
with a boulevard (highway) and traffic :

 

The tube strengthened with steel rings (28.84 m x 15 m high) has a visible internal glass and a boulevard (kuid: 52519:37030 to be loaded on TRS). The bridge is on objects/spline on surveyor. You can use it as a bridge, an elevated tube or a gradient.

Well today there are 33 objects !

RENFE SERIE 440

In the early 70's, regional and suburban Renfe services were offered by 1500 V trains (series 433 and 434), Swiss (series 436, 437 and 438) whose speed and comfort had already become outdated and the serie 439, which reaches 130 km/h, but with a low number of units and not so good comfort for passengers.

The serie 440 of Renfe is a serie of power units supplied from 1975 to 1985 and that were adjudicated to meet the objectives of the Strategic Plan of Renfe (1972-1975), I mean to reach 140 km/h on the main lines of the network and to improve the links with the neighborhood of major urban centers. These units began to be delivered in 1975, manufactured by CAF and MACOSA.

RENFE acquired a total of 255 units of the 440 serie, so these trains were equipped with a powerful engine to achieve the desired speed and get good acceleration. The original 440 units were blue with a yellow strip.

Renfe UT 440-069 Azul in Madrid Atocha Station

As you can see on this picture, originally all the cabins had an intercom door at the front of the cab.

I think it is the only one 440 Azul you can find for Trainz ! It a very nice
train made with details as you can see :

These units were numbered from 440-001 to 440-255.

So, you can download it on :

STR

You will get Renfe 440-069 M, Ri and Rc

M = Motor, Ri = Intermediario, Rc = Remolque

so you have : M - Ri - Rc

The motors of these units were built by GEE, WESA and MELCO under Mitsubishi license, each unit having 4 engines MB-3165-A2, MB-3165-B or MB-3165-C depending on the lot. These engines offer a continuous power of 290 kW on each powered axles, operating under 3 kV, and they have a power of 1160 kW, giving a maximum speed of 140 km/h.

For over 30 years they are at the core of medium distance and local services. It is a self-propelled train with 3 cars of which only one is powered with a driver's cab at both ends (M = Motor). Originally this car had a van to transport and postal parcels, one is the intermediate trailer (R = Remolque), and finally there is a trailer with a cab (C = Cabina).

This serie 440 has traveled more miles in Spain than all the others series.

In the first units, the red imitation leather seats of the cars were fixed (they cannot be adjusted to the direction of motion) by opposing pairs :

On the web, you have a lot of pictures of these original 440 units of blue and yellow color, like 440-001-6, 440-080 (1988), 9-440-096-6 (preserved), 440-140 (1991), 440-206 (1988), 440-250 (1991).

The best picture gives the front of the 8-440-133-7 !

 

Nearby Services (Cercanías) :

Between the late 80's and early 90's suburban services needed more and more units to provide services, so that units assigned to regional services were allocated to these services and regional services received old electrotrenes from serie 432.

A great number of these “Unidades Electricas 440” were transferred to Cercanías, the first of them receiving the new colors being in 1990 the 440-080-0 : red, white and black from top to bottom on front cab, with diagonal red, white and black bands on white side cars and a large black bottom strip :

They keep these colors a long time, as some of them had them in 2000 or later.

The 440-113-9 in 1991, the 440-097-4 in 1996 and the 440-084 in 2000 have the same colors on the web.

On STR, for Trainz, you find the 440-029M with 440-073I and 440-063C in the same pack : it is a matter of fact that you never have the same numbers, as all units were exchanged. It is the right composition. This unit is in blue color in 1981 and like above in 1997 on the web.

Details of the cab and the front door before the modernization of these units.

After this period, since 2002 (?), the front cab will be of red and black colors, without the white color, and the red and black side bands will be separated by a white band, the black strip remaining on bottom, the roof being of red color as 440-138-6 in 2002 on the web and many others units... We cannot find them in Trainz with the serie 440, but with serie 470, like this 470-169M :

At last, the "Cercanías" of Renfe Operadora have new colors, since 2005 (?) :



Here, you see on Atocha Station (Madrid) the blue 440-069 at right

and the red 440-029M from Cercanías at left, so in the middle track

the UT 440R Cercanías with the colors of Renfe Operadora : red and

white with two strips on the sides : "red and purple".

The number is 1M. This unit is renovated, as it is shown with its number

440R : great windows, no more front door...

We have to see the renovated units (440R and 470) later.

You find it on Trainz DLS :

UT 440 RM Cercanías = kuid : 69338:640:1 from caa

with RI and RR = 641 and 642.

 

He also gives the only one Regionales unit on Trainz... but it does not works,

I think. 

and soon you will see the others 440 !

I am working on !

AUTOMOTOR ELÉCTRICO SERIE 432 RENFE

AUTOMOTOR ELÉCTRICO SERIE 432 RENFE

La plupart des lignes de la Catalogne, du Levante et de l’ Andalousie, ont été électrifiées avec du 3.000 volts tandis que la côte cantabrique (Asturies, Cantabrie, Pays Basque ...) et les Pyrénées catalanes l’ont été avec du 1500 V.

Renfe a donc décidé d'acquérir de nouveaux équipements électriques qui pourraient se déplacer sous les deux tensions. Le plan décennal de modernisation des années soixante avait distingué des unités électriques bi- tension selon les critères de confort et de polyvalence des trains TER. Le résultat fut que le nouveau train ressemblait de l’extérieur aux TER, même si son apparence a été améliorée grâce à un rouge vif qui lui donnait un aspect beaucoup plus moderne. Les 432 « plata » sont rouges avec un toit gris.

Most lines of Catalonia, Levante and Andalusia, were electrified with 3,000 volts while the Cantabrian coast (Asturias, Cantabria, Basque Country ...) and the Catalan Pyrenees have been with the 1500 V.

Renfe has decided to purchase new electrical equipment that could move under the two voltages. The decennial plan of modernization of the sixties had distinguished dual voltage electrical units according to the criteria of comfort and flexibility TER trains. The result was that the new train resembled to TER from the outside, although its appearance has been enhanced with a bright red giving it a much more modern look. The 432 "plata" are red with a gray roof.

Les 432 « rojo » sont uniformément rouges. La version classique dispose de bogies Fiat et l’autre de bogies CAF. Sa plus grande puissance (1160kW) et sa vitesse (140 km/h), en a fait l'outil idéal pour répondre aux services de trains de jour pour longues et moyennes distances.

The "rojo" 432  are uniformly red. The classic version has Fiat bogies and other bogies of CAF. Its greatest power (1160kW) and speed (140 kmph), made it the ideal tool to meet the train service daytime for long and medium distances.

       Renfe 432-003-2 "rojo" à Calatayud

Un total de 20 unités ont été fabriquées entre 1971 et 1973 par les sociétés CAF, Macosa et Westinghouse, qui étaient chargées de faire les caisses et la partie mécanique, tandis que Mitsubishi fournissait la partie électrique.

Les nouveaux trains, affectés du numéro 432, mais connus dans le commerce comme "Electrotrenes", firent leurs premiers essais commerciaux en 1971, entre Madrid et Gijón, puis sur les grandes lignes basques, catalanes et andalouses.

Compte tenu des bons résultats obtenus entre 1975 et 1978, une voiture remorque intermédiaire a été ajoutée pour satisfaire le nombre croissant de voyageurs.

A total of 20 units were manufactured between 1971 and 1973 by companies CAF, Macosa and Westinghouse, who were responsible for making the cars and the mechanical part, while Mitsubishi supplied the electrical part.

The new trains, with the number 432, but known by travelers as "Electrotren" made their first commercial trials in 1971 between Madrid and Gijon, then on the long distances of Basque country, Catalonia and Andalusia lines.

Given the good results obtained between 1975 and 1978, an intermediate car trailer was added to satisfy the growing number of travelers.

Dans le début des années 80, avec l'arrivée de la série 444, les 432 ont été reléguées des services longues distances à des services régionaux à Barcelone, à Madrid, en Andalousie et dans le León. Les 432 ont continué à démontrer leur efficacité et ont été améliorées pour augmenter confort et performance. Au début de 1990, elles ont perdu leur rouge traditionnel pour le bleu et blanc de l'époque et des années plus tard la couleur orange des trains régionaux. L’intérieur a également subi des changements, le compartiment à bagages et le bar étant remplacés par des machines distributrices et un espace de rassemblement. Aujourd'hui, après le faible niveau de certaines unités et la perte de la voiture intermédiaire dans la plupart des unités, certaines restent actives sous les couleurs de la UN Regionales.

Sur TRAINZ, il faut télécharger 3 voitures :

- Motor
- Remolque
- Cabina

In the early '80s with the arrival of the series 444, the 432 were relegated from long distance services to regional services in Barcelona, Madrid, Andalusia and the Leon. The 432 continued to demonstrate their effectiveness and have been improved to increase comfort and performance. In early 1990, they lost their traditional red for blue and white of the time and years later the orange color of the regional trains. The interior has also undergone changes, the luggage compartment and the bar being replaced by vending machines and a gathering space. Today, after the low level of some units and the loss of the midsize car in most units, some remain active in the colors of UN Regionales..

TGV - HIGH SPEED TRAIN - AVE

The Spanish high speed train (AVE)

Since December 2010, Spain is the first European country for
high speed tracks with 2 665 km !

It is a matter of fact that the Spanish Government has quickly embraced the AVE as its main mode of inter-city transportation. They plan on spending over 80 billion Euros in developing a high-speed rail system that will be able to take you across Spain and leave you at no more than 30 miles from your destination (at which point, you can simply take a regular train to your final destination).

On December, 19th, the AVE has linked Madrid to Valencia.
The cost of the substructures amounts to 6,6 billions (euro) with 387 km. The Pato (S - 112 from Talgo) has a velocity of 300 km/h, so Valencia is now at 95 minutes from Madrid, by Cuenca and Requena-Utiel (387 km) with 30 trains a day. The max speed allowed is 330 km/h (10 700 HP).As for the ticket, it will cost 32 euro(s) on the Web and 80 euro(s) at the stations. 

The S - 112 Talgo AVE has from 12 to 23 cars (carriages). With 12 cars, it is 200 m long (322 tons) and load 365 passengers (so, 357 tons). In fact, there are 294 passengers in "turista" class (6 cars and cafeteria car) and 71 seats in "club" class (5 cars).  

The all line to the South East of Spain (Linea de Levante : 955 km) amounted to 12,4 billions (79 bridges and 50 tunnels) and links 19 % of the inhabitants of Spain and 30 % of the RNB. The project has to create 242 000 jobs in 6 years.

Currently, there are several series of High speed trains that run the AVE service:



- S/100, manufactured by Alstom
- S/102, manufactured by Talgo and Bombardier
- S/103, manufactured by Siemens, marketed globally under the brand Siemens Velaro
- S/112, manufactured by Talgo and Bombardier


There are also other series of trains that are considered high-speed, but do not run under the AVE name. They run under the brand Alvia and Avant, and are variable gauge trains. They can run on high-speed lines at a maximum of 250 km/h (155 mph), and can also change between standard- and Iberian-gauge lines without stopping. The trains that are operated under the Alvia brand are:


- S/120, manufactured by CAF and Alstom
- S/130, manufactured by Talgo and Bombardier

In Trainz, you can find 3 Spanish High Speed Trains :

AVE S 100

The first has 4 cars : "Ave-1-0" (motor vehicle) with 3 others cars (Ave-1-1 to 1-3), you can see below on a station of my Madrid-Guadalajara track, I mean Coslada :

 mikado007 : kuid:109502:1000021, 22,23 and 26 (Ave-1-0 to 3) on TRS


The second has two cars, "Ave-2-Cabeza" (the motor vehicle) and "Ave-2-vagon-1" (in fact it seems to be the 1st S-100) :

mikado007 : kuid:109502:1000160 (Ave-2-Cabeza) and 1000161 (Ave-2-Vagon-1) on TRS

AVE S 103 This one just below is the AVE S103 train. It can hit speeds of 350 kilometer per hour at its peak. It can fit 400 passengers and will cost anywhere between 30 to 80 dollars, depending on the class on which you are traveling... with audio and video screens and Internet services.

In Trainz this 3rd AVE has 3 cars : "Ave-3-Cabeza", "Ave-3-Medio" and "Ave-3-Restaurante" :


















Renfe AVE S:103 : Linea Madrid-Barcelona, Madrid-Sevilla/Málaga.
mikado007 : kuid:109502:1000030 to 34 (Ave-3-Cabeza, -Medio, -Restaurante...) on TRS


La Serie AVE S:103 o Velaro es un tren construido por Siemens y destinado grácias a su gran velocidad punta a los trayectos "directos" o "semidirectos" en la mayoría de las LAV's de larga distancia españolas. Este tren posee el record mundial de velocidad sobre railes en composición comercial, con una marca de 404 km/h alcanzados en la LAV Madrid-Barcelona.

But the "Pato" from Talgo has to be made ! Even if you can find a prototype on IberTrainz... but I have not tried it and it seems to need some reskin. I will try to make one Pato, but I need measures and some help. If you want to do it with me tell me on the right place below.

STATION MULTIPLE SHIP 023WT

A NEW STATION !
MULTIPLE INDUSTRY... AND TWO SHIPS !

You can load and unload all kinds of products on two ships and a station.

                                           kuid2:427808:10918:1 

You can click on the picture to enlarge it !

The station has two ships : the "Castilla" and the "Bremen".

The first is the "Castilla", which is to be loaded or

unloaded with containers (The "Castilla" is matching with Queue 2).

The loading or unloading docks (at right of the ship) are matching with

Queue 1 (only with containers), as I will explain below. You cannot load or unload cars in these parts of the station, if you don't want to have a car above some containers ! If you like it, it is not a problem, but it will be no realistic !

You may have 200 containers over static lots of containers. If the Queue 1 is to be unloaded, it is better to put on the Queue 200 containers, but if this Queue is to be loaded, it is better to begin with 0 ! It is the same with the ship, but with 92 containers.

The first ship is the "Bremen", which can be loaded and unloaded with all products you find in Trainz. This ship is matching with Queue 3 and the quay where the ship is docked with Queue 5.
As for Queue 4 and Queue 6, between the two tracks and at right of the Bremen, they can be loaded or unloaded with all kinds of products. Queue 4 is the closest and Queue 6 is near the containers of the Castilla.
Just below you have Queue 4 with 80 cars (8 x 10) and 50 cars (5 x 10), so 130 cars or others products, but of the same kind. You apply the same rules as for containers (from 0 to 130). 

As for Queue 6, you can put 140 products of the container kind or smaller products like cars as you can see below :

There are placed in 5 groups of 3 times 4 x 8 and one time 3 x 8 and the last group on the other side of the right track with 2 x 8, so 17 x 8 = 136 + 4 others products, so 140 for the all Queue 6 !

You see Queue 5 at right of the "Bremen" and at left of the track with 70 objects of the car kind.

So you have :

Queue 1 : 200 containers at right of the "Castilla"

Queue 2 :  92 containers on the "Castilla"

Queue 3 : 108 products on the "Bremen"

Queue 4 : 130 cars at right of the "Bremen" between the two tracks

Queue 5 : 70 cars just at right of the "Bremen" on the dock at left

Queue 6 : 140 products closest than the cars of Queue 4

And for the all station, 740 products !

But, remember you can have different products on the same Queue.

Now, how to proceed ?
