Buying notes for the 120-Person Heavy Rail Train for Large Parks
The 120-passenger heavy rail train is the largest rail build we quote from a fixed drawing set: one locomotive, a water carriage and three passenger cars of forty, on 762 mm rail. It suits large parks and scenic areas where a single departure has to move a whole queue.
At this capacity the route leads the design. A 762 mm line, a 30 m turning radius and a 1.5% gradient are the conditions the site has to offer, and the locomotive runs on a 100 kW generating set rather than a battery pack.
120-person heavy rail train: the build
Everything below comes from the current factory parameter sheet for this model.
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Configuration | One locomotive, a water carriage and three passenger cars of 40 |
| Passenger capacity | 120 passengers |
| Locomotive dimensions | 5.8 x 2.0 x 2.6 m |
| Carriage dimensions | 7.0 x 2.0 x 2.6 m |
| Power | 100 kW diesel generating set |
| Drive motors | 8 x 5.5 kW, twin four-wheel drive sets |
| Gauge and rail | 762 mm on 22 kg rail |
| Speed | Up to 5 km/h |
| Turning radius | 30 m minimum |
| Gradient | Up to 1.5% |
Larger capacities are also built to order. The rail sightseeing train range lists every platform from 21 passengers upward, and the 54-passenger train is the build most shorter routes start from.
What the route has to offer
A 120-passenger train is a fixed installation, so the line is designed with the train rather than after it. These four conditions decide whether the site is ready for this build.
Where a 120-person rail train works
The capacity only pays where a single departure can be filled twice an hour.
One train, one long loop
A 3 to 5 km loop with two or three stations moves visitors all day on one locomotive and one crew.
Carrying visitors up a valley
Where the walking route is long and the view is the product, the line becomes part of the experience.
Between distant zones
Distant enclosures are connected without adding a road inside the park.
Arrival and internal transport
The train links the car park, reception and the activity zone, which keeps cars out of the guest area.
Questions buyers ask
Is 120 passengers the largest rail train?
It is the largest build with a fixed drawing set. Larger rail trains are quoted to order, up to 200 passengers.
What track does it need?
762 mm gauge on 22 kg rail, which is heavier than the 12 kg rail used on the 406 and 600 mm lines. Track is quoted per metre from the route drawing.
Can it run on batteries?
This build runs on a 100 kW diesel generating set. The 21 to 96-passenger trains are the battery platforms.
How many stations does it need?
Two or three on a loop is typical: one where visitors arrive, one at the far end, and one where the queue builds.
How many staff does it take?
One driver and one platform attendant per station, which is why the train suits a park that cannot staff a road train fleet.
How do we start?
Send the site plan, the route you have in mind and the visitors you expect per hour. We will come back with the line, the train length and the price band.
Next step
Send the site plan with the route and the stations marked, the gradient if you know it, and the visitors you expect per hour. We will confirm whether the heavy build suits the line, or whether a shorter train on lighter rail serves it better. The train range lists the trackless platforms as well.
