A Train in Kerbal Space Program


 If it wasn't obvious already, I am a big fan of public transport... especially trains. 

In terms of the train I built, I based it off a bunch of different metro/commuter/suburban trains that I have ridden in the past. The most prominent are my local 3000 class diesel railcars and the Comeng Electric Train in Melbourne. Size-wise, however, the train is probably most similar to a Wellington FP 'Matangi' Class, and I definitely took some cues with the 'barrel-esque' shape of the cross section.

I went for longitudinal seats as there was limited space inside. I liked this seating layout and it is common in Japanese commuter trains in particular. I think it looks really neat.

Anyways, here are more pictures:







It is pretty simple to operate. Just decouple the train so it sits on the track. Switch to the train and throttle up and it should start moving. If you switch back to the track craft, action groups 1,2 and 3 cycle through the different signals.

I've loosely based them off the railway signaling system local to me, but they may be inaccurate.

DISCLAIMERS: Requires Infinite Electricity and it's also 3000 parts. IT WILL NOT RUN WELL!

it also includes the track as well as the train.
