Add Hospital TGV #30

Open gpcf opened 4 years ago

gpcf commented 4 years ago

As you might know, the French have been modifying TGV trains as ambulance trains, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Do you know any further details on that? Is that just a normal TGV, or a special one? did they end up changing the livery? Should we do that?

Probably no changes to the livery, although we could change it for differentiation purposes.

(also has been done to Talgo 250 trains) :)

Makes me wonder if I should use an ICE 1 car instead. Would have the advantage that I "just" have to change a single car, which is kind of up to date in graphic style as well.

I have tried to modify the duplex cars, while trying to make them look quite makeshift. I think that the prototype has little to no external modification. hospital

I'd like to avoid the red cross emblem, as it is protected by the geneva convention. Otherwise, it would make more sense to me to use ICE cars if we want high speed hospital wagons, as their livery would already be a perfect fit, and they don't need any facelift in the first place.

Then again, the whole point of the chain was to require road vehicles, if it was to require a complete high speed train to cope with all the sick people the balance is probably way off.
