This is indeed a model of the Sprague-Thomson in use from 1926 until 1983 (with other versions dating from the early years of the last century), but it is not one of mine. In fact, I believe this is a model from Microsoft Trains Simulator. If you are interested in these old-timers, you will find my versions on the DLS listed as "Sprague CMP ....." under my KUID 275817, also some simulations of stations together with track, tunnels, station signs, etc. (these are named "Metro .....").Also available are two station entrance buildings based on a faded 1909 photo of Quai de la Rapee. "Metro test and demo" is a non-scenic layout showing how my various custom objects work together, and the whole project is described at

Sprague-Thomson stock in the other liveries (Line 1 and the Nord-Sud) are on the way.
Other than Brian Hardy's book "Paris Metro Handbook" (Capital Transport Publishing), I know of no other source material in English although an internet search will find a few books in French. The internet also has a good variety of photos of the Metro, and the Paris Transport Museum (well worth a visit) has its own site - search for AMTUIR. ADEMAS is another source also METRORAMA for panoramic photos.
I hope this helps. I spent over 50 years wanting to make Metro models, and over six months doing the research and modelling for TRAINZ models. If you make models of the modern stock, I for one would be very interested.
This is one of mine:
Best wishes, Ray
