Kazakhstania Civil Works has not been around for a great length of time. In fact, it was just created not long ago, when the taxes were cut and the planning for the new Civil Projects were created. And, immediately after their birth, we tasked the Works with planning, building and producing several new things. They have been involved in the building of Atryau’s docks, the planning and beginning of the new Airport and the construction of our new railway.

But the railway was only created for a new reason. The railway was built to accommodate then new train we are presenting to you now. So, with no further a do, we present to you now our new HISETT, High Speed Transport Train. Unlike our military products, we are not hiding anything from you, and these are the very trains used in Kazakhstania. So, here we are!

HISETT High Speed Transport Train

Designed to be quick, sleek and aerodynamic, but also nice to look at and provide a lot of space with minimum drag, the HISETT was very hard to design and create. But our civil works has done it, helped by Kazakhstanian Aerospace Initiatives. The slender design is attractive but serves its purpose well, as the train creates less drag that the classic “Bullet Trains”.

The line down the side channel the air, and most of it is funnelled away to prevent further drag. The design is also very stable, allowing for tight turns at high speeds. The weight is strategically positioned, to allow maximum stability. It also serves to create much needed area, and makes sure space is not lost.

The interior design is open and comfortable. Overhead lockers provide much needed storage, as well as under seat space. All is craft fully hidden, in attractive black lockers, themed to look much like the outside of the train. Plexiglas runs down the side, and roof. The seats are comfortably reclined , and with comfortable padding. Food carriages have comfortable seats and a buffet that looks nice. The whole interior of the train is in black with Plexiglas in places to make it all look attractive. The centre isles have plenty room.

Safety is still key. Doors are easily operable, and lights run down the isles. Fire alarms are automatic and there are flop down roof ladders to allow for easy evacuation, but are hidden to look nice. The safety features are all automated, ran by monitoring computers, it is by far the safest vehicle ever made.

The engines are all Hydrogen, and their are 2, high horsepower engines. This means the vehicle does not require to be hooked up to overhead electricity, saving costs on rails. They can make the train go up to 350km/h, which is the fastest any train has ever gone. This means the train can reach record speeds and cut journey times dramatically. The controls are completely automated, and linked to the safety feature. The follow the programmed route, and will keep to it unless one of the safety features is activated.

Each carriage allows for 50 passengers, 4 crew and baggage space for each. The buffet car has 12 tables and one buffet, with food for 200 people. The engine cars have 2 Hydrogen Engines in each, and space for the forward computers and one driver, if really needed.

this is exactly what nation states needs more of, public transportation threads. If there were passenger ships (hint hint) or passenger planes that would be great and you could be sure i would buy plenty of them.
