Canadian Vickers MR-63

The Canadian Vickers MR-63 was the first-generation rolling stock of the Montreal Metro. Based on the MP-59 of Paris, approximately 369 of them were built, of which most of them served for 50 years before their retirement in 2018. Even now, there's still a pair of work motors which haul the vacuum train around. They served on all lines save for the Blue, which used the newer, more musical but similarly-shaped MR-73 from the start. Only one motor car was preserved as a train, but in a couple of years, you might find the body shells reused in buildings around town.

In this mod, you'll find a new vehicle in your tram and train sheds, with four sub-options:

• A powered motor car (1963-2018)
• An unpowered trailer car (1965-2018)
• A full element of 2 motors and a trailer
• The cargo-carrying work train derived from the MR-63 (1966-2030)

More stats:

• Power: 500 kW / 500 kN traction (Motors & work train only)
• Weight: ~26 t
• Length: ~ 17 m
• Speed: 80 kph

I did say 'tram sheds' didn't I? Given the game's lack of true underground rail, this train has been built with tram-train capability. A three-car element can fit into a 60m station, while a hypothetical four-car set can fit into a full-length underground tram station. The insane traction from the rubber tyres also helps with the harsher slopes of tram tracks. (There's a train version for those who want to stick to the steel wheels, don't worry)

I created this model from scratch. It shows, but on the bright side, there is halfway-passable rust and grime, and full colour blending support. Feel free to suggest any improvements. 

Mk 3 Update: Almost Decent!

• Trains finally appear in the train shed rather than merely being tram-trains
• Better, more detailed modelling with proper lights and display boards
• Synthesized sound effects, most of which almost sound passable
• More realistic materials
