Prolongement du MF88

PavløvA

Hi guys! You might notice that many of my post titles are now in French. This is because I am learning French! Prolongement means extension, prolong means extend and prolonger means something that extends.

Anyway, so this is the extension of the MF88. In the same way that MA51/52 cars were turned into intermediate booster units, these are driving motor cars with their cabs replaced. They turn a 3-car train into a 5-car train composed of a 2-car subset and a 3-car subset. When coupled with a 3-car MF88, this train, which I am terming the MF88B ("B" for "Booster Unit", same as MA51B and MA52B have the "B" suffix) produces an 8-car, 120m-long MF88. This is how the MF88 should have looked. R.I.P. MF88, in two years time you will be gone.

These have gray windows only, retrofit the gradient ones (Fenêtre de Dégradé) yourself, if you want shiny windows (personally the gray ones really suit the MF88 -- it looks wrong in shiny colours, ÎDFM looks good however)
