This is a weekly posting with GURPS vehicles (and the like) to the GURPSnet mailing list. I grant the permission for all non-commercial redistribution of my work, but I would like to know if you put it on a website or the like. My site is down for rebuilding, but sooner or later the old stuff should reappear at omeyer.gmxhome.de Onno Meyer, 2008-11-17
Mag-Lev Maintenance Car v1.0 (TL10) Copyright 2008 by Onno Meyer This specialized car is used to maintain magnetic levitation rails on worlds with little or no atmosphere. The Maintenance Car carries a work party, a supply of spare parts, and a workshop for on-site repairs. One airlock leads to the monorail track, the other has a telescoping ladder to get down to the ground (where the track is elevated on pylons). The car is designed to return at the end of each shift, so there are no living quarters. The mag-lev car might fit into Traveller games where contragrav is less effective (or more expensive) than described by GURPS Traveller. Subassemblies: Body +5. Powertrain: 48,000-lb. mag-lev lifter; 500-kW contact power; 360,000-kWs rechargeable power cell. Occ: 2 RCS, 8 RS.
