Here is the UT440R

Ouh yeah! Mitsubishi rules!

Mitsubishi? When I look up the UT440R, I get multiple sources telling me it is a CAF product...

It is made by CAF, but the electric part and motors are donde by MELCO - Mitsubishi, the 440's are "mini" 269 series (locomotive), which were builted again by CAF but in cooperation with MELCO - Mitsubushi, that's why we call the 279/269/289 "Japonesas" or "Japanese", the 251 we tend to call them "Japonesa y media" or "Half Japanese", the 269 "descend" from formers EF65 and the 251 from the EF66...

The only thing that I don't know is, where do the 440s descend from? I want to believe they do from the JNR 103 series, but I'm not really sure about it.

Wikipedia wrote: Since the R & D department of CAF did not have the capacity to develop an original product in the necessary time, the overall design of the boxes of the cars and the box was subcontracted to the Swiss manufacturer Schindler Waggon, Prattlen, while the electrical equipment was built under license of Mitshubisi Electric Company, this equipment being a reduced and compacted variant of the one that mounted the locomotives of the series 269 .

So in the end the exterior of the train is a Swiss design, created for the Spanish trainbuilder CAF, who later delivered 255 trainsets of this type to the Spanish railway operator Renfe. And apparently, they sold them over the border too.

The NS93 can also be repainted into the RATP MP89 (so that's easily two trains in one), and the MPM-10 has a really nice design. Can you finish them with an interior?

I can finish the NS93/MP89, but the MPM-10 interior is a bit difficult. At the moment I'm working on the UT-440R.

And to drive these with full train lengths.... Perhaps I should convert M6 for rubber tired operation (M6 is a nice stand-alone line too, so would be a good candidate).

Yay, 6-8 cars length trains to the Airport Shuttleservice

Here is some progress on the UT-440R. The orange model is a model I did like one year ago, and the Blue/Yellow/White one is the new model (these colors represent the chilean paint scheme, being the blue one the "original" scheme).
Perhaps the NS-93 and the UT-440R would be my first contribution to the simulator
