Overview

This resource pack adds the CP ARCO coaches together with the CP Class 2600/2620 electric locomotives to the Minecraft Transit Railway (MTR) mod.

The ARCO coach textures were created by me using Soodari's EUROFIMA coach models as a base and adapted to accurately reproduce the appearance of the real coaches.

The CP Class 2600/2620 locomotive was created by combining parts of Soodari's SNCF BB 22200 and Korail Class 8000 models, which were then remodelled, retextured and adapted by me to accurately recreate the Portuguese prototype.

Rolling stock information

The CP ARCO coaches are a fleet of refurbished long-distance passenger coaches originally operated by RENFE (Spain's national railway operator) before being acquired by Comboios de Portugal (CP). Originally rebuilt from older conventional rolling stock, they entered service in Spain during the late 1990s, featuring refurbished interiors, air conditioning, improved bogies and enhanced passenger comfort.

In 2020, Comboios de Portugal purchased several ARCO coaches from RENFE to reinforce its long-distance and regional services, particularly on the Minho and Douro Lines. The coaches entered service in Portugal in 2021 and are compatible with the Iberian gauge (1,668 mm).

The CP Class 2600 and CP Class 2620 are two closely related classes of electric locomotives built by Sorefame between 1974 and 1977. Designed for operation under Portugal's 25 kV 50 Hz AC electrification system, they have been used to haul a wide variety of passenger and freight services throughout the country. Thanks to their reliability and versatility, many locomotives of both classes remain in active service today, including hauling the CP ARCO coaches on long-distance services.
