Hear me out...

PavløvA_YT

🤣🤣🤣

I had this thought in my head, about a non-articulated R2N. I could not stop thinking about it, so here it is. Should I actually make a model of this? I already have a plan, these could be used on the Øresundståg line between Sweden and Denmark, in place of their current X31/X32 trains, which unironically share their powertrains with the R2N (they have older inverters and are less powerful, but you get the point). This kind of gives a resemblance to the TER2N, and it has all of its traction equipment...

Do you guys want a model of it? If I can stop laughing at the look of it, that is...
 

R2N MOYENNE (NPdC)

Pavløva_YT

This is the R2N M (Moyenne - Medium) in Nord-Pas-de-Calais (NPdC) livery. These trains were acquired by TER Haute-de-France in a merger later on, wearing this livery for a very short time. It is my favourite R2N livery, its just simple beauty.

This is the Bretagne version of the R2N L/C. The R2N C has a unique P3 car, and different end cars, to the R2N L. Print the respective coaches for the respective trains.

A look at some R2Ns in development

PavløvA_YT

Here is a small release of some new R2Ns in development... the full versions will be out soon!
Also, "Guiding Lights" by Pendulum, has finally been released, I am so happy, its been like 2 years since it was first performed, I found the video here:

This is a compilation of 21 liveries for R2Ns, and covers all variants of the train.
Variants: Cm, C, M, L, R, ZOU, XL.

This is the final product of a lot of drawing. Note that not all liveries have been made into models, yet. Print on A2/A3 scale paper for best results.

This includes, from top to bottom: TER ÎDFM, TER Nomad, TER ZOU! (Transdev), TER AuRA, TER HDF (V2), TER liO, TER Nouvelle Aquatine, TER SÜD-PACA, TER RéMI, TER ZOU! (SNCF), TER BreizhGO (R2N L), TER BreizhGO (R2N C), TER Neutre (R2N L/XL), TER AuRA (Neutre), TER Nomad (Krono), TER HDF (V1), TER CVL (V3), TER PDL, TER HDF, and TER NPdC, now TER HDF.
 

VAL208 V3 ilēvia and conversion parts for V2

PavløvA_YT

 

Here is the final version of my VAL208 in ilēvia livery, this will be the last time I update my VAL208 model series.

If you have a V2 VAL208, I have issued a patch to fix the front end, and the back.

H130 - Motrice 1

P130 - Motrice 2

These parts below will make your VAL208 V2 into a VAL208 V2.5 -- not actually a V3, but close enough!

 

Build: JR East E131

This might be my best build yet... I have made the E131 just one day after drawing it!

UPDATED: JR East Series E131

⚠️UPDATE: Floor equipment is now published!⚠️

PavløvA_YT

The newest addition to J-TREC (Japan Train Engineering Corp)'s rapidly-growing Sustina lineup, the Series E131 is a two-car version of the Series E235, with some modifications to make it suitable for low-demand route running. This train is certified for wanman mode (one-man operation), the only Sustina-family train with this certification. Trains of the type come in 2, 3, or 4 carriage consists, with power arranged as B'B+2'2, B'B+2'B+2'2, and B'B+2'2+B'B+2'2, respectively. This makes the E131 an oddity, as none of the carriages on any variant share any layout similarities! One end car is powered, the other is a trailer, one middle car is powered, and one of them is a trailer, too! Anyway, this train is still missing floor equipment, but enjoy it for now! Updated versions will come soon.

Keikyu N1000 (Batch 3)

 PavløvA_YT

This is the first Japanese train I have drawn in over a year...

First constructed in 2002, the humble N1000 series train has been built continuously for 23 years. Throughout the years, it has undergone several revisions, with traction chains, carriage lengths, and bogie types being changed over time, with other minor changes being position of the front door (changed in Batch 18 trains), headlight arrangement, front windows, and headlight types/interior lighting. This particular one is an aluminium-bodied, 3rd-batch train no.041, which was initially fitted with Siemens SIBAS32 GTO-VVVF inverters, which gave a signature do-re-mi-fa-so sound upon departure. Sadly, because of lack of spare parts, these inverters were replaced with hybrid SiC-IGBT inverters, which sound lovely, but not as good as the SIBAS32 GTO-VVVF inverters they used to have. This model still has the original inverters, indicated by the floor equipment.

There will only be one carriage made, I am not going to draw the entire train, this was difficult enough!

Below is the actual train I based it off, 8-carriage Batch 3 train no.041. No.041 is still in service, but with SiC-IGBT inverters instead of GTO-VVVF or PTR-VVVF (like the 600 series before the N1000s)
My next Japanese train will be a Keikyu 2100 series, which is related to the N1000s.

Prototype Régiolis trains

Hello everyone, I am trialing a new Régiolis design, if you could pick your favourite and make it, and then send the results to my email (click here to send finished results), I would much appreciate it, this is so I can see the build process and improve on it...

Designing trains is hard, and your help makes it easier. If you print one of my trains, don't worry, I will send updates for roof and floor equipment in the near future!
