A collection of paper mock ups, some are mine, some are not. Most are mine. If you have any requests, tips, tricks or ideas for new models, please drop them below, I will respond (eventually) For a discord server, ask Clem, I am not sure if it is open to the public yet, as I am not on the server (I forgot to join, and am too busy to right now) IMPORTANT: All my models are shared under a CC-ShareAlike-4.0 License.

MF 67 Cx (Plug-door MF 67)

PavløvA_YT

This is a of full-grip MF67, in the "King Blue" livery, with "full-grip" denoting all cars are powered.

Little history of these fascinating trains:

The MF 67 A was the first version to be manufactured, with the MF67 B prototypes (including the MF 67 W2, Zebulon), following soon after. Initially, all carriages were powered, to match the rapid acceleration of the MP 55s and MP 59s on Line 1 and Line 11, however these full-grip trains were soon broken up into 3M2T formation, instead of 5M formation. Some trains, on Line 3bis and initially Line 7bis, were 2M1T formation.

The MF 67 C was the second generation of MF 67s, and, like the MF 67 A, they initially ran as full-grip. This MF 67 C, known as an MF 67 Cx, was unique, as, unlike many others, it featured plug doors instead of the traditional sliding doors, with such doors later used on the MF 77. MF 67 Cx trains, which were experiments, were soon returned to type, as MF 67 C, before being rebuilt to MF 67 D specifications, along with the MF 67 A type, which were also rebuilt to MF 67 D specifications en masse. Ex-MF 67 Cx trains were among the first to be retired, in 2009.

Little sidenote: I could not find any photos of an MF 67 Cx, so I just made the doors how I assumed they would look, based on the MF 77.

MF 67 A coming soon!

MA 51/52

PavløvA_YT

1951 was a good year for the Paris Métro, with several technological advancements taking place. As well as the worlds' first rubber-tyred train (the MP 51), the worlds' first articulated metro train, the MA 51/52, entered service.

After a trial period, operations began on lines 10 and 13, where it ran for 43 years until 1994. Several examples of the 42 produced have been preserved. Despite being highly successful, RATP obviously thought otherwise, as no articulated trains were made afterwards, making the 3-car MA 51 and its 2-car version, the MA 52, a unicorn, never to be recreated.

MP 51

PavløvA_YT

This is the MP 51, the first driverless train (equipped with GoA2 ATO), and the first rubber-tyred train, to ever run. It ran on la voie navette, a disused section of track between 3bis and 7bis.

It had a pantograph for driving in the workshops. Only one carriage was ever produced.

MP 05 RATP V3

PavløvA_YT

Line 1 (Pneumatic subway, Automatic Driving)

Surely you all remember my MP 05? Clem made a model of the MP 05, but it had small inaccuracies, so I tried making one in my style, and it turned out... poorly. So, I decided to make a newer model, changing up door sizes, cabin length etc, and I think it looks... quite accurate.

From my "Materiel Pneu" collection, I present, version 3 of the MP 05, in STÎF/RATP Silver/Jade green livery. It not-so-subtly shows that it is V3 on the base... it is the same width as the V2 MP 05, so carriages from a V2 can run with carriages from a V3, if you already have some V2 carriages.

Enjoy my slightly-more-exact model of an MP 05!

Photoshoot: MP14/5 CC

PavløvA_YT

Remember my MP14/8 CA "Météor"? I also built an MP14/5 CC (Ligne du Châtelet) train, with a driver's cab, but it was so unsightly from the build process, that I never posted photos of it. Today, I printed a new body for it, and glued it over the old, damaged one. It looks beautiful now!

Bogie detail, the bogies are still damaged, as they were on the original, I am not replacing them.

Cabin and no cabin!

The rear is terrible on both

Believe it or not, the MP14/5 CC is now in better condition than the Météor!

Another cabin shot

Coupled? This would never happen, also look at the bogie damage on the Météor!

The shiny, new front end

The cab doors were very damaged before... now they look brand new!

Side view. From here, it is evident the train has a new façade, and that the underfloor equipment is very rotted out. I do not mind, however.

This was the only photo I had of the train's left side before repair, look at how peeled the exterior is! I took this photograph to compare the CA to the CC.

On this pre-refurbishment photograph, the CC appears undamaged, unless you look at the roof. It was, however, in deplorable condition.

Weird MI2N Eole

PavløvA_YT

I love this...

This is an MI2N Eole, but with the layout of a Regio 2N...

This is a 6 carriage, short MI2N Eole, with long and short carriages like a Regio 2N. The carriages are not as pronounced in size difference, however. It has 2 motor cars, P2 and P5, 2 pantograph trailers (P1 and P3), as well as 2 non-pantograph collectors (P4 and P6). P1 and P6 both drive, and P1 is double decker, with P1 being single decker. The bogies on the single deck cars are really squished, I am working on replacement single-axle steerable bogies, which will make this even more cursed. P5 is also equipped with a water closet.
