Trans Polar Railways, a fictive operator operating in Scandinavia, Russia and Europe, for its City-link services has taken 
delivery of a large fleet of 5-car Diesel Multiple Units, the M5D.<br>
<br>
The M5D trains are equipped with a pasive tilting system for increased cornering speeds, with a top speed of around 170km/h, 
the 5-car M5D sets operate on the profitable short haul commuter routes into and around Trans Polar's European Hub in 
Copenhagen.  <br>
<br>
The driving cabs of the M5D sets are very modern, incorporating many of the latest features and electronics.  Passenger areas
get ambient lighting, rather than harsh lighting of older type trains, giving a more relaxed environment for the passengers 
who occupy them.  Each of the 5 cars in the set are equipped with two powerful engines, each of these 16 litre engines 
develop 750bhp, though this does not sound a lot, the M5D has 10 of these engines, giving 7500bhp of traction, making for 
rapid accelleration from a standing start.  EXtensive sound dampening systems have been installed, so even at full power, 
the noise levels in the passenger cabins is low and acceptable.<br>
