    - Our today’s plan is to bring to a conclusion the story of the Spanish railways - by discussing the development and evolution of the AVE trains (of course, we did not miss the opportunity to mention other trainsets that also operate on the AVE network).
    This episode is interesting because we talk about different manufacturers that produce the rolling stock for the Spanish market, but also the open architecture of the Spanish HSR tracks and structures, that allow the use of those different manufacturers.
    This is actually quite different from the approaches of the majority of HSR countries, where the infrastructure is designed to work with only one, or a specific type of manufacturer.
    As we pointed out in the last episode, most of the HSR network in Spain is covered by the ERTMS system, so almost all trains, in addition to the Spanish train management system, also have an onboard ERTMS device. Some of them also operate in France.
    We spoke about the design and performance of the Renfe Classes 100, 101, 102, 112, 103, 106, Avant S-104, S-114, S-121, Alvia S-120, S-130, and S-730.
    Do you think we managed to present the main aspects of the Spanish AVE trains? Tell us in the comments below!

    It’s a bit sad that talgo didn’t follow the duck nose trend on the final design of the talgo avril.

    • @kaekae4010
      @kaekae4010 2 роки тому +11

      I suppose that one of the reasons is that the new tractor is more compact than the previous one, and there was not much aerodynamic gain by sticking out the nose.
      The new set is not more attractive because of that detail, but on the other hand it looks really compact and integrated throughout the set. One of the most compact and light in the world. For me that is also a very characteristic sign of a Talgo.

    • @El-Mengu
      @El-Mengu 2 роки тому +12

      The S/102, S/112, S/130, S/730 and prototype S/107 Avril's characteristic nose shape is patented by Bombardier and Talgo didn't reach an agreement to keep using it, hence the new, uglier shape.

  • @juanfrancisco9417
    @juanfrancisco9417 2 роки тому +67

    Just one clarification:
    The locomotive of the AVE S-102/-112 (Duck) and S-130 (Duckling) are also designe and manufactured by Spanish company TALGO, but the traction system of the locomotive is from Bombardier company.
    As I understand it, the TALGO Avril is completely Spanish (I personally liked the previous desing with the shape of ducks's bill better).

    There is also the RENFE class 107. They are dual gauge, dual voltage using new Talgo Avril locomotives with refurbished Talgo VII carriages modified for dual gauge and 300km/h. These carriages were previously used in the cancelled Trenhotel service. Talgo calls these units "Serie-107"

      @@MEGATBLAZER The Talgo S-106 (Renfe class 106) are 100% new. The Talgo S-107 are new locomotives with refurbished carriages. This is from Talgo's page:
      En junio de 2018, Renfe adjudicó a Talgo la reforma de más de un centenar de coches de viajeros de la serie 7 de Talgo, plataforma tecnológica de la que también forman parte las series 130 y 730. Estas unidades habían sido operadas por Renfe inicialmente bajo la marca comercial “Trenhotel” y estaban especialmente diseñadas para servicios nocturnos en líneas con ancho de vía tanto ibérico como estándar europeo, aunque con una velocidad máxima limitada a 220 km/h. Carecían además de tracción, al tratarse de ramas remolcadas.
      El encargo especificaba la necesidad de convertir esas unidades al tráfico diurno, elevando su velocidad comercial máxima a más de 300 km/h, pero manteniendo en todo caso su capacidad de cambio automático de ancho de vía. Tres años después del contrato inicial, Renfe adjudicaba además a Talgo la fabricación de 26 cabezas tractoras, dos para cada tren. Ambos encargos permitirán la creación de 13 trenes completos de muy alta velocidad que podrán operarse en la práctica totalidad de la red ferroviaria electrificada española, cantidad que se elevaría a 19 trenes en el caso de ejecutarse todas las opciones reservadas por la operadora

      Yeah but headaches for engineer and technicians, standardisation will be better in terms of maintenance issues
      If Madrid-Seville HSR (and maybe other HSR lines) constructed in Iberian gauge, maybe rollingstock will be much more standardized, because you don't have to deal with different gauge, except for international services to France
      Personally i like push pull type instead of EMu, they are just simple

    7:17 The S/102 and S/112 have better acceleration overall than the S/103. This is very noticeable if you've ever driven the 112 and 103 series in the Madrid-Barcelona line, which I have; the 103 struggles to pick up speed on ramps and doesn't top out at 300 km/h as quickly as the 112. I have to admit the driving cab and seat is more comfortable in the 103 than the 102/112, though.

    • @El-Mengu
      @El-Mengu 2 роки тому +7

      I don't know what that 186 is about, but the top speed is 300 in that line. Plus, your experience as a passenger is highly subjective. Driving conditions, ETCS, being way ahead of schedule... There are many factors that affect a train's speed, which is what you probably experienced. But when one drives both series it's apparent the 112 is more of a powerhouse than the 103.

    El tren hibrido, S-730, osea 173, puede funcionar en vía con catenaria, y también en vías sin catenaria, ya que entre las locomotoras y el corte de coches, lleva un manso en cada extremo, que realmente es un equipo electrógeno, osea una central de la luz rodante, es como en el caso de por ejemplo la serie 200 son locomotoras eléctricas, como son las 252 la 253 que son las de más modernidad, o el la serie 300 que son de combustión interna, la 333, las 334, las 335 por ejemplo pues son de las más modernas...
    Pues hay la serie 600, que se llaman bitrac ahora mismo solo existe una, la 01.1, 601, que puede tener tracción por catenaria, y también en vías sin catenaria, al tener dentro una central eléctrica movida por un motor térmico.
    Creo que esos mansos de la S-730 y esa central de la 010.1, tienen pensado en el futuro sean motores de hidrógeno.
