First static preview of the FIAT Materfer 7230 Series First-Class Coach in Cuba Train Simulator | Classic Edition.

Built in Argentina and delivered to Cuba between 1975 and 1978, these passenger cars became part of an iconic set that included first-class coaches, cafeteria cars, and baggage vans.

Shown here in its original livery, this first-class coach recreates the early appearance of the FIAT Materfer cars during one of the most recognizable eras of Cuban passenger railroading.

More variations are on the way, including additional paint schemes and the later modified versions with updated windows.

Cuba Train Simulator | Classic Edition
Preserving Cuban railway history, one detail at a time.

🥂🚂 A toast to two warriors that made history on Cuban rails 🇨🇺

Side by side: the Soviet TE114-K and the MLW MX-624 — machines built for hard work, long miles, and unforgettable departures.
Tonight we raise a glass to the golden era of the railroad, when steel, smoke, and horsepower kept the island moving.

To the crews who drove them… and to the stories still echoing down the tracks. 💨✨

Work in progress: FIAT Materfer 7230 Series coaches for Cuba Train Simulator.
Built in Argentina, these hauled passenger cars belong to the same family as the iconic FIAT Concord 7230 Series DMUs, bringing even more authenticity and historical depth to the Cuban railway experience. A new chapter of classic rolling stock is taking shape. Stay tuned. 🚆🇨🇺🇦🇷

🚆 WORK IN PROGRESS — FIAT Materfer 7230 Series 🇦🇷➡️🇨🇺

Straight from the workshop: our first 7230-series first-class passenger coach, inspired by the Argentine rolling stock that arrived in the 1970s.

These cars trace their roots to Materfer (Material Ferroviario S.A.), the historic builder based in Ferreyra, Córdoba, created under the FIAT Concord era—known for producing passenger coaches for Ferrocarriles Argentinos and exporting rolling stock abroad.

We’re recreating that classic first-class comfort vibe—preserved examples of Materfer first-class interiors show features like reclining seats, rotating seating, and individual reading lights, which we’ll be bringing into the final interior detailing.

🧳☕ And this is just the start: this collection will also include the baggage van and the café car.

Stay tuned—more updates, textures, interiors, and in-game previews coming soon. 🚉🔥

🚂 Next release incoming… TE114-k (Soviet legend) at Havana Central Station 🇨🇺🇷🇺

We’re now in the final testing stage and getting this beast ready for departure.
🎥 Video drops this weekend so you can feel the sounds — we engineered them like crazy, blending multiple recordings from different engines to get that gritty, authentic character just right.

So stay tuned… two horn blasts and we’re gone.
HOOONK! HOOONK! 💨🔥

🚧 Cuban Route Development | Línea Sur (Havana) 🚧

Development continues on the Cuban Route for Train Simulator Classic, now centered on the CUJAE halt area, located at the junction of CUJAE Road and Avenida Rancho Boyeros in Havana.

🗺️ One image shows the zone in Edit Mode, with Google Maps embedded into the terrain to ensure maximum accuracy in track alignment, road layout, surrounding buildings, and landmarks.
🌉 The second image features the railway bridge over the Almendares River, a structure deeply rooted in Cuban railway history.

🏛️ The large building visible in both images is the Center for Electroenergetic Research and Testing (CIPEL), part of the Technological University of Havana “José Antonio Echeverría” (CUJAE), a well-known landmark along this historic railway corridor.

This section of track is especially significant: it follows part of the original alignment of Cuba’s first railway, inaugurated in 1837. Although the current bridge is not the original one, it remains one of the oldest railway bridges still in active use on the island, bearing witness to nearly two centuries of rail operations.

Step by step, rail by rail, Cuban railway history is being brought back to life. 🇨🇺🚂
