History of Vande Bharat Express:
The Vande Bharat Express, also known as Train 18, is an Indian semi-high speed, intercity, EMU train operated by the Indian Railways. It was designed and manufactured by Integral Coach Factory (ICF) at Perambur, Chennai under the Indian Government’s Make in India initiative, over a span of 18 months.
The unit cost is estimated to be 40% cheaper than a similar train imported from Europe. The train was launched on 15 February 2019, and the service was named 'Vande Bharat Express' on 27 January 2019.
Vande Bharat Express is designed to be capable of running at a maximum speed of 200 km/h (120 mph). The Vande Bharat Express exterior is of aerodynamic design, narrowing at each end of the train, designed to combat air resistance. It also has a driver cabin at each end, allowing for faster turnaround at terminating stations. The train has 16 passenger cars, with a seating capacity of 1,128 passengers. Two of the center compartments are first class compartments that seat 52 each, with the rest being coach compartments seating 78 each.
Alternate coaches are motorised to ensure even distribution of power and to help in quicker acceleration and deceleration. The gangways are interconnected and fully sealed to allow better mobility between coaches and to reduce noise respectively. The train also features GPIS-based passenger information system, bio-vacuum toilets, and rotational seats which can be aligned in the direction of travel. Train 18 employs a regenerative braking system.
Making of the Scale Model
The scale model, built by designers and engineers to meticulous attention to detail is a combination of aluminium, acrylic and styrene materials. All the details of the bogie, the rails, sleepers of the train track, the windows, step and handrails rails and are meticulously re-constructed. The rails on which the train model rests are made of extruded nickel-cadmium material, built to the exact scales of the broad gauge rail system of India (1676 mm | 5 feet 6 inches). The design and manufacturing process involves 3 D drawings, 3D printing prototyping, laser cutting and other processes.
