As Sjoerd announced in the Rijndam post, I'm creating the 2300 series for the Denia-Rijndam section, these 8 units were inherited by FEVE. These trains are almost done, some minor adjustments new to be done to the oldest versions but other than that, they're almost finished.

Re: GBolea3D creations
Awesome!
So, in the simulator will we have these trains with three liveries?

Re: GBolea3D creations
Theoretically yes. The only thing is that the orange one was refurbished for high platforms, whilst the other 2, are for lower platforms as they have steps to access the inside, so I don't know, that depends on what Sjoerds wants to do.Alfacinha315 wrote: ↑08 Feb 2019, 17:29 Awesome!

Re: GBolea3D creations
The platforms along the line have been build to come als close as possible to the floor height of the white/orange floor height.
I'll see how it looks (train vs platforms) after I have the oldest version driveable. At this moment, I think it will be likely the two with the square headlights will end up with the high floor, and the one with the round headlights (being the oldest one) with the steps at the doors.
To bad I can't find any references to this online; the amount of photo's of this type of train with the doors openend are close to zero
The only clue; the actual level of the platforms the train is standing next to on photo's. Like this one in Denia (modern livery, using a high platfom): https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1612/250 ... 87de_b.jpg, and this one, in an older livery, next to a lower platform: http://www.listadotren.es/motor/phototrain.php?tid=2824

The thing is that the blue version you sent me, has also steps as the platforms were still low, it was with the 2500 series that they did refurbished the platforms to make 'em higher and the original MANs had the steps cancelled, so...
Re: GBolea3D creations
Okay; how about this; When you have send me the new files, I'll convert the oldest livery version with the round headlights and the steps at the door. I'll then post screenshots of it next to a platform (and of the modern one without the steps). And then I'll ask for your opinions on which interior floor (with or without steps) to use for the yellow+white+blue version.
I do not want to lower the platforms in the route, as I want to keep the option open to possibly do a 2500-series in the future too (as that train is still in use by the FGV, having replaced the 2300's), and that one absolutely requires the higher platforms.

Re: GBolea3D creations
Nice work.
Is the 2300 series simular to the trains used on the Mallorca main line. Back in the 80 and 90s?

Re: GBolea3D creations
Hello JeffT, yes, some of the old 2300 that were operating in the north of Spain, were sent to Mallorca in those years to retire the old stock. Back in the days you could see a single MAN railcar, or someones like the ones recreated, along with other railcars made by Ferrostaal (similar in shape to the 2300).

Re: GBolea3D creations
With what program did you build those? The renderings look great.
