Trams are overrated... more cursed Heulliez

Ile-de-France has a problem: Too many trams

So I, an idiotic bus fanatic, made a solution, with my favourite bus, the Gx337.

First, I modded it into a Gx427, and it was nice...

But here are some extension packs, if the Gx427 was not big enough and you want a 4 or 3 carriage bus... this is honestly just a tram at this point... wheel power arrangements are 1A+A+A+1 for 4 car setup and 1A+A+1 for 3 car setup, if you were curious.

Range is 530km for all variants, as all cars have batteries (even nonpowered end car), and the batteries take up most of the roof. Batteries, for simplicity, are not depicted on the drawings below:

ARRANGEMENTS:

P1-P4-P3-P2 ("Full " bus)

 

P1-P4-P2 ("High Boarding Speed 3" bus)

P1-P3-P2 ("High Capacity 3" bus)

 P1-P2 (The original Gx427 without the expansions)

P1 (The original Gx337 off of Pattern paper Cp92)

Tell me, which one are you making?

NOTE THAT P4 MUST BE IMMEDIATELY AFTER P1 FOR BEST BOARDING AND ALIGHTING, IF IT IS AT THE BACK THEN BOARDING IS SLOWER!

Again, these are modified from CP92's original model, like the previous monstrosity!

P3

Enjoy! I really loved drawing this bus and I hope you will love building it!

DALFanBus, what do you make of this? Did it give you a heart attack?

My dumb idea: Heuliez GX427 elec IDFM

This is what a v3 Gx427 in IDFM livery would look like... sorry for the cursed imagery now permanently in your brains!

DALfanbus what do you make of this? Cursed enough?

Photos will be uploaded once I build it...

Build: MI84 ÎDFM V1

 Hello everyone, here is a build of Bus Peps' MI84 in ÎDFM Version 1 livery (repaint of ÎDF not STÎF, so it has blue window trim, not black, and no silver stripe)

Sadly, before the photoshoot, my mother accidentally destroyed the fourth car by sitting on it and then my cats proceeded to shred it to pieces, so I only have 3 cars 😭still looks cool

I will do a version 2 livery, some day!

All 3 cars I still have

Left hand side of Remorque (trailer)

Motrice (Motor) 1, numbered 8450, this one has yellow lamps lit to show it is the leading car

Right hand side of Remorque (With visible ventillator)

Motrice 2, numbered 8449, this one has red lamps lit to show it is the tail end car.

 

If you want to build the train, here is the file (from Bus Peps, not my work, but a re-livery by me is in the works!!!)

Motrice

Remorque

Various pieces; bogies, cab walls and pantographs for the MI 84 REMORQUES --- DO NOT MAKE THE MOTRICES WITH THESE!!!

For the Motrices, 8449 is the tail end and 8450 is the head end.

Arrange as ZBDx 8450 - (>)ZRAB 28450 - ZRB 28449(<) - ZBDx 8449 (Either centre car can be ZRAB or ZRB, just number them appropriately, but end cars are determined by their assigned no.)

 Pantographs are always at the motor car-joining end of the trailer, with the arm's joint pointing towards the trailer-trailer coupling, with (>) or (<) denoting the pantograph in the coupling diagram above.

Interesting thing I noticed is that, because the even numbered end car always points towards Aéroport Charles de Gaulle station or Mitry–Claye station (one end of RER B) and the odd numbered end car always points toward Robinson station or Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse station (the other end of RER B), and this train has yellow lamps on car 8450, it is going either to CDG or Mitry-Claye! Pretty cool, right?

 With all that said, enjoy this train, and feel free to ask for more build tips if needed!

Oh and one last build tip, make the trailers first, they are easier and will teach you how to do the motors, if you do the motors first you will make a mistake, guaranteed.
