Summary
Note here if any serious issues are present. These are the issues that will hold up approval.
** Short description of the issue. If a longer explanation is needed, put it in Notes.

Status: ]Pending
- No general topic sentence
- No artwork/minimal description for the train cars
- Point Defense Phased Array Laser is listed as unapproved
- No DR capacity listed
- Nothing listed under price
- Standard Nomenclature system not used.


Notes
The cars lack detail; no pictures and 2 sentence descriptions (fixing one or the other would be fine). Are these cars powered by their own aether generators or do they draw power form the main car? How do all the cars connect? How would a second engine car be added (no apparent connection mechanism in the front)? Can the trains work on planets with no atmosphere? Is there any protection against backwash from the engine/what is used for propulsion (as the exhaust is pointed right at the cars that are being pulled)?

I intend to finish this review by: April 18
 
Fixed the topic sentence.

I was actually going to finish models for the cars after I completed a starship project I've been working on.

The PDPL is approved, Five seems to have been too lazy to remove the unapproved tag. I will rectify this.

I forgot about the Nomenclature

I need to figure out the DR and price I suppose.
 
Glad to see the multiple views and confirm, yes, it does look awesome. Good job on this one, Kai.
 
Added statistical information, clarified some systems, and made and uploaded images of the different cars.

Oh, and I double checked that the PDPL was approved (it was) and removed the unapproved tag.
 
Well, 6m is rather tall. The bottom deck's windows are about stomach height, and the top deck's windows are floor to ceiling. I simply used one panel for both decks because it was easier.
 
Well there is the door looking bit which seems to stretch from top to bottom like a single story door would.

That finishes the problems with this submission.
