My repaints of the Amsterdam S1/S2 and Amsterdam S3/M4. Notes:
1st: This is my 1st repaints for Metrosim I've ever done, and I am not so talented in drawing, so it may look cringeworthy, but I can't do better.
2nd: Repaint templates will be placed in 2nd post, since there's a limit of 3 attachments per post.
Name of repaints: What if Prague transport company owned S1/S2 and S3/M4?
Amsterdam S1/S2
- Amsterdam S1 in Prague livery.jpg (146.09 KiB) Viewed 2133 times
Trivia:
1st: This repaint was hugely inspired by the default livery of Prague Tatra T3 tram. You can see it below:
2nd: The reason, why Tatra T3's Prague livery was chosen is, because the Amsterdam S1/S2 looks more like a tram, than a metro train.
3rd: In original livery, there's a text below Prague transport company's logo saying "Dopravní podnik hlavního města Prahy" (Czech for: "Prague transport company"). This text was omitted on Amsterdam S1/S2 repaint, since the logo had to be sized down, so it can fit on Amsterdam S1/S2, and the text would be illegible. And also, the logo on the repaint gets obstructed by the door, when it's opened, but this is the best place, where I could place it.
4th: In original livery, there's also coat of arms of the city of Prague, placed near the rear door. This coat of arms was omitted on Amsterdam S1/S2 repaint, because it would look like a mess of colored pixels in Metrosim. Even IRL you have to get really close to the tram, to see the details on the coat of arms, since it's really small.
Amsterdam S3/M4
- Amsterdam M4 in Siemens M1 livery.jpg (126.18 KiB) Viewed 2133 times
Trivia:
1st: This repaint was hugely inspired by the default livery of Siemens M1 metro train, which is used on C line in Prague Metro. You can see it below:
2nd: The reason, why Siemens M1's default livery was chosen is, because IRL, when Amsterdam S3/M4 is accelerating from standstill, it emits a sound, which sounds like a mix between Siemens M1 accelerating from standstill and Formula 1 car shifting up quickly. This repaint serves as a reference to this fact. If you don't get the reference, watch a video of Siemens M1 departing from station Hlavní nádraží (Central station)
here and the video of Amsterdam M4 departing from Hollendrecht
here and listen closely.
3rd: In original livery, there's a red stripe between each door's window and sealing rubber. This stripe was omitted on the repaint, because on the S3/M4 repaint template, there's no visual clue, where door's windows and sealing rubbers are located on the doors, so it's easy to misplace those stripes.
4th: In original livery, there's also a gray logo of Prague metro between front passenger's door and driver's door. This logo was omitted on repaint because it won't fit between the window and driver's door.
