Avelia Horizon (TGV M)

Description
Newest French high-speed passenger train

The Avelia Horizon, also known as the TGV M ("M" for modular), is an upcoming high-speed passenger train designed and produced by Alstom for SNCF, France’s national railway operator, with additional orders from other entities like Proxima and Morocco’s ONCF. It belongs to Alstom’s Avelia family of high-speed trains and features a double-deck, push-pull configuration with power cars at each end and articulated bi-level passenger cars, similar to the iconic TGV Duplex. Scheduled to enter service in early 2026, with deliveries continuing into the 2030s, Avelia Horizon aims to replace aging TGV models like the Duplex while offering improved efficiency, capacity, and comfort.

Fully recolorable, comes with 5 liveries:
- Base color, dark roof, seen in the test runs
- Decal color, monotone
- inOui livery by SNCF. To use this, set both the base color and the decal color to white #FFFFFF.
- Custom livery (fictional), light roof, magenta stripes
- Ouigo livery (fictional). To use this, set the base color to blue #0ABFE8 and leave the decal color as white #FFFFFF.

I'll take a look into it

I think one bit of feedback to give is that the performance (accel and braking) feel a bit...strong? Considering the TGV-M produces less power than the Euroduplex (8MW vs 9.28MW) it should have similar performance to it, not be significantly faster especially under braking.

I recommend looking at TKR's Euroduplex physics data and perhaps have it similar to that.

You're welcome :)

I was gonna ask about the coupled sets request too, but thanks for the addition!
JeremyRight  [author] 25 Mar @ 3:27am 
Yes, just added a coupled two-set composition!

There is only one set per train from what I can see. Would it be possible to combine two sets for one train?

Normally I try to minimize drawing manually, and render the train with an orthographic camera in Blender as much as possible. This one is an outlier since I didn't find any available 3D models of this train.
When a model is available, but I can't render it in orthographic view, I do indeed stitch several images of the same car. Perspective wrap tool helps here.
An example of a train made almost entirely in Blender is my Waratah B-set.
An example of a train stitched together from parts would be my AnsaldoBreda Marta CQ312. Thankfully, in the end you usually can't see a difference :)

Hi!
My main tool is Photoshop. Here's how I made this mod in particular.
For the loco, I used my Avelia Liberty asset. That one I lifted from Transport Fever 2: I used the in-game camera tool to screenshot the train from above, then masked it, made it symmetric and evenly lit, separated it into base/decal/top layers, etc. To remake it into Avelia Horizon, I shortened the loco, added a second pantograph and replaced some radiators with solid panels.
The carriages for this train were a more manual process: I took a part of the loco and stretched it into a rectangle, then drew windows, panels and doors on separate layers. The decals were made by masking painted parts of the train or just adding patterns.

Hi just wondering how you made it? is this handdrawn or is it 3d model photoed? If so is it multiple 3d model photos stitched together or just one per car?
