With the quick retirement of steam trains on the main line it seems the stage is set for a diffrent type of train. introducing the speed liner this one train will revolutionise rail travel in the Croftien Democracy with tests showing these new units which require no locomotives, can reach speeds of up to 135mph and have strong brakes maximising the time they can stay at speed. these new trains will be powered by 2 jet turbines supplied by Aircroft Industries which will allow it to out accelerate the current loco hauled services along the main line reducing journey times while providing greater comfort for passengers. once this train is fully introduced into service the railway may as well be called the speedway. -Croftien news 18th june 1968.
Unfortunately due to the cost of operating a jet turbine service and issues with corrosion issues due to the aluminium body being unpainted all trains were removed from service by 1980 with one being preserved.
Stats:
Power: 1135hp combined

Note this train is built to work with Kakhikotchauri1 railway mods as such it fits that gauge and will NOT work on destroyerP railway mod ag1 for forwards ag2 for reverse

    In downloading this and not being able to install mods, I have discovered the importance of tracks for a train. I have also discovered that I should invest in a platform that will allow me to install mods. Good job on the train tho!
