There are variations of this style vehicle, which is commonly known as a train throughout the [[Inner Sphere]]. Featured here in this article is a tractor & trailer which were produced by Buda Imperial Vehicles in the [[Draconis Combine]]. Produced during the [[thirtieth century]], the Buda's Pressurized Train design would be recognized as being a logical template for other companies trying to design similar systems for dangerous places to imitate. Buda's trains were designed be economic and easy to maintain during the terrible years of the [[Succession Wars Era|Succession Wars]], which provided many a Combine world with a most needed mass-transit system to move cargo and people when other resources were scarce. Uniquely, Buda Imperial Vehicles designed their trains similarly to [[w:Suspension railway|suspended monorails]].<ref name="TRO:VAp148"/><ref name="TRO:VArp142"/> == Equipment and Capabilities == A Pressurized Train's tractors (the engine) and its trailers are both designed with [[Environmental Sealing]], giving the vehicles their unique ability to continue operating in most environments. Each of the vehicle's tractor and trailer hulls were built with 1.5 tons of BAR 7 commercial armor. The Tractor is electrically powered through external rails, which effectively gives the train unlimited fuel range and allows it to move upwards of 180 km/h.<ref name="TRO:VAp148"/><ref name="TRO:VArp142"/> The Tractor features a single Mounted Searchlight to allow the engineer to better pilot vehicle at night.<ref name="TRO:VAp148"/><ref name="TRO:VArp142"/> == Cargo == While the tractor is not designed carry cargo, it can hold 4.5 tons of cargo while the trailer can hold nearly 30 tons. Trailers come in a variety of types, from typical cargo hauler, liquid tanker, and passenger car among other capacities.<ref name="TRO:VAp148"/><ref name="TRO:VArp142"/> * Tractor - 4.5 Tons * Trailer - 29 Tons == Design Notes == The Pressurized train's tractor has an [[External Power Pickup]] and Tractor Chassis Modifications, while the trailers have Tractor and Trailer Chassis Modifications.<ref name="TRO:VAp148"/><ref name="TRO:VArp142"/> == Notes == The Pressurized Train featured in both Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex and the revised editions was not given a name. The original article from the book mentions that Buda Imperial Vehicle's version was essentially a generic template for other versions of the vehicle. As of this writing, there is no listed Battle Value for either the Pressurized Train's tractor or trailer components. == References == <references /> == Bibliography == * ''[[Master Unit List]]'' * ''[[Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex]]'' * ''[[Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex Revised]]'' [[Category: Support Vehicles|Pressurized Train]] [[Category: Civilian Vehicles|Pressurized Train]] [[Category:Draconis Combine Support Vehicles|Pressurized Train]] [[Category: Rail Support Vehicles|Pressurized Train]]
