Our summative assignment was a Dream, Design, Build Project. The idea is simple, dream something up, design it and build it in SolidWorks. I chose to build a Luxury Diesel-Electric Inter-City High-Speed Express Train. In the past I have watched documentaries about millionaires that own train coaches and travel cross country being towed by commuter trains. The idea has always appealed to me but rather than building just a few coaches I wanted to try building the whole train. I designed the train to be a 5 car manifest with a cab and prime mover at either end and have drive trucks rather than a full locomotive. This layout allowed for more space inside the train and increases acceleration and top speed. The interiors of the coaches comprised of a dining car, a lounge/theater car, and a "sleeper" car for bedrooms. I chose to put the kitchen and crew quarters in the extra half coaches behind the prime mover since the space is much smaller and the ride may suffer from vibrations when running on diesel power, making the space less desirable for the guests. While designing the coaches I decided to make wrap around windows that curve up into the roof of the coach. This design will allow more light into the coaches, improve the view, and allow you to see the stars as you dash across the peaceful midnight countryside at 140 MPH (225 KPH).
