train

[Raúl Martínez @RaulTrainzGamer]

I figured I'd post what I've been up to.

I've been working on my passion project sim and refurbishing my old trains, I'm currently working on my Renfe 440R/470.

I'm trying to go all out detail-wise, nowhere near done yet, I'm working on the bogies atm.

@SMcdevil I don't use Facebook I'm afraid, thanks for the offer though

[Raúl Martínez @RaulTrainzGamer]

Merry Christmas everyone.

The old Rivarossi Polar Express retired to make way for my new custom Bachmann one, made in April 2025.

She has quite a few stories to tell, even survived a drop to the floor (Telltale sign is the crooked pilot.)

Sound file is from @TrainStorm1225.

[Raúl Martínez @RaulTrainzGamer]

@SMcdevil @TrainStorm1225 If you're "This Boring Modern World", yeah.

The reason you got yelled at is likely because high speed trains in Spain have security checks and they don't let you on the platform until the train arrives

Sants track 7 is decent for taking pictures of the HSTs however.

[Raúl Martínez @RaulTrainzGamer]

@SMcdevil Yeah, back then the prices were quite a bit higher, I know tales of people paying 4000€ for the 5 and 6 car sets, so in that aspect I feel lucky that I didn't pay nearly as much for my 10 car set

[Raúl Martínez @RaulTrainzGamer]

I've been gone for a long time, but I figured it's time I post what I've been working on for Rails Unlimited now that they're released.

I'll begin with this general tweet, and then make a thread of each train in particular.

Let's begin with the TGVs

#ROBLOXDev

[Raúl Martínez @RaulTrainzGamer]

@SMcdevil I believe their RailStar is going to cost around 1300€, same price as the 500, I intend on buying it, same with their N700 P set

[Raúl Martínez @RaulTrainzGamer]

Following my last thread, I'm going to talk about the Shinkansen fleet I made for Rails Unlimited.

These had a very rocky development history, with the first prototypes being made all the way back in 2021.

I'll post these in the order they were originally built.

@SMcdevil I own two of the old Jouef Atlantiques myself, which are essentially the same as the Lima Thalys, one is a "Modelliste" version and the other one is the hobby version, they don't see much running since they're DC only.

Very old picture.

[Raúl Martínez @RaulTrainzGamer]

Deberia añadir que esta es una version ligeramente antigua del modelo de mi 440R, por eso algunos detalles no estan muy pulidos, pero es la unica version que tenia medio pintada

[Raúl Martínez @RaulTrainzGamer]

@entro_banda Existe alguna iniciativa por parte de terceros, pero el problema es programar, si no tienes experiencia, es muy chungo...

Y claro, aunque tengas el tren, luego no tienes ninguna ruta local para conducirlo. Yo mismo quiero exportar mi 440R eventualmente, pero solo se modelar.

[Raúl Martínez @RaulTrainzGamer]

@kristian_rector How did I not see this before? actually amazing, I actually remodelled mine a while back, using a Bachmann one instead, I'm pretty proud of it, haven't made the coaches yet though!!

I haven't run it in ages, with Christmas around the corner that will change though

And last but not least, the 800 series.

This one I don't really have much to talk about, but at the time I didn't really build the headlights/taillights right.

The extra tweets will be pics of the original versions and development history.

#ROBLOXDev

[Raúl Martínez @RaulTrainzGamer]

I originally built the N700S wrong, as I didn't have many references as they were brand new at the time, the "Kamome" also didn't exist.

I rebuilt the N700S, giving it the sharper nose and different headlights and also made the Kamome variant, which is full of logos.

#ROBLOXDev

[Raúl Martínez @RaulTrainzGamer]

As opposed to the 700, I was VERY happy with the N700 first try, even then I still modified it by giving it extra details, as opposed to the original 2022 version I built.

#ROBLOXDev

[Raúl Martínez @RaulTrainzGamer]

The 700 was a tough nut to crack, and even now I'm not super happy with it, it received many modifications, but after widening it I'm satisfied with it.

The Hikari Rail Star is one of my best friend's favourite trains, so I wanted to get it right.

#ROBLOXDev

[Raúl Martínez @RaulTrainzGamer]

This is one of my favourite trains in real life, the 500, so I was excited when it was time to make it.

My favourite is the W set, it was so technologically advanced for it's time.

I'm on the hunt for a Tenshodo set, and I want to ride the real deal before 2027.

#ROBLOXDev

[Raúl Martínez @RaulTrainzGamer]

Now we move onto the more modern Shinkansen, the 300 Series.

The original version of this was frankly pretty bad, and I'm still not super happy with this 300, but it's not bad either.

Fun fact: I tried to build a 300 back in 2019, along with the N700, it was a fail.

#ROBLOXDev

[Raúl Martínez @RaulTrainzGamer]

Afterwards, I focused on the Dream Express, the original Shinkansen, the 0 series.

I made the 1964 variant, and the 2002 variant, though frankly I should've made the 1976 variant as well, these are the slowest Shinkansen in-game, but I love them.

#ROBLOXDev

[Raúl Martínez @RaulTrainzGamer]

And the 200 concludes the Eastern trains, now we focus on the rest.

Instead of beginning with the 0, I started with the 100, since I used the 200 series, I made the Grand Hikari variant first, as I love the double decker cars.

I also made the 2002 variants.
