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.
I think this car needs a secondary motive system as well. Because
sometimes the problem with the Mag-Lev track will be on the opposite
side of a non-trivial section of dead track. So add a set of
retractable wheels and powertrain, and possibly a larger rechargeable
power cell.
