Intercity Europa

Electric Orbis class 766 operated by ficticious Europan carrier "Zwischenstadt Europa", capable of operating 
at speeds in excess of 400km/h, these railsets are powered on every axle, the two powercars that provide 
the motive power use a multi-voltage supply. These high speed trains operate on their own dedicated 
tracks, using the minimum of tight curves, allowing them to run at their maximum speed.

because the train uses 5 axle wheel sets, the axles are built in 3 sub sections, having a leading axle, 3 
mainaxles and a trailing axle, the 3 sections joined together to form an articulated wheel set, thus 
allowing the train to round steep curves when required.

Technology in these sets is more airliner than high speed train, lots of CRT displays replace the standard 
cockpit features. passengers sit in airliner seats as well, seat headrests contain video screens, like many 
modern day airliners.
