Weird looking train

[shaunbhoy]

I think the real answer here is much simpler than some are suggesting.
This train was designed by Scandinavians. The same simple folk that designed the traditional Volvo.
They actually believe it IS aerodynamic.
There are whole shoals of them who meet weekly to discuss just how aerodynamic the Breeze Block is...............apparently.
Mention concepts like Physics and Maths to them and you are likely to get an Axe through your head.

Gosh, someone who gets it.

I don't really want to get into a conversation about trains but wasn't there a rail disaster in Germany where the wheels were to blame? They had a rubber cushion in them and it failed IIRC?

Are you thinking of this crash?

It's rather harrowing reading.

.The restaurant coach, six, was crushed to a 15 cm (six inch) height

fatigue, just one of the failure modes that comes up in my analysis when trying to predict whether both engines on the plane will not shut down at the same time.

When no hear's about safety and reliability they don't complain, so pay my rate and ask no questions - that's what I tell em
