Do you want to buy a Maglev?
Yeah,
Would you like the Geisler G Series, GX-1, GZ-1 or GZ-2, or the Nosek KN065?

Formation: 12 Cars
Operators: Gehrig (Planned)
Train Length: 456 m (1496 ft 1 in)
End Car Length: 48 m (157 ft 6 in)
Intermediate Car Length: 36 m (118 ft 1 in)
Width: 3.4 m (11 ft 2 in)
Height: 3.2 m (10 ft 6 in)
Maximum Speed: Design: 1,040 km/h (646 mph)

Record: N/A
Power Supply: Electric with Onboard Batteries for Levitation
4 Hydrogen Jet Engines for Thrust
Electric System(s): 33 kV AC
Current Collector(s): Electromagnetic Induction
Track Gauge: NewStart Standard Maglev Track (NSSMT)
The GZ-1 also use induction charging to power the battery while moving, this means that the batteries do not have to take up as much space, allowing more space for the jet engines and passengers. The jet engines are mounted on the end cars, each one having two jet engines. The jet engines fold into the cars when not required. The Maglev can be used in a full-electric mode where no jet engines are required, this decreases the top speed to 520 km/h (323 mph).
The GZ-1 is manufactured in Geisler's Munich Plant, the interior will be assembled by Gehrig in Frankfurt. The cost per km of track is set to be 13.8 million Euros ($15 million NSD), and when asked, Geisler stated that the Maglev comes with the track, they wouldn't sell it otherwise, with the exception of returning customers, who would be quoted when required.
Specifications
It will be available in 4 cabin specifications, all of which utilise 12 cars. There will be a choice of 2 first class cars (1 end and 1 intermediate) plus 4 business class cars (all intermediate) with the other 6 cars (5 intermediate and 1 end) being economy class. The next choice is 1 cabin car (1 end car) plus 1 first class car (1 intermediate), 4 business class cars (4 intermediates) and 6 economy class cars (5 intermediate and 1 end). The third option is 5 business class cars (1 end and 4 intermediate) and 7 economy class cars (6 intermediate and 1 end). The final choice will be an all-economy layout, with all 12 cars being economy class. Cars may also be converted to cargo cars, and Geiser has unveiled a cargo version of the GZ-1.
The GZ-1's cars are designed for efficiency, speed and comfortability, they are 3.4 m (11 ft 2 in) wide and 3.2 m (10 ft 6 in) tall. The end cars are 48 m (157 ft 6 in) long, whereas the intermediate cars are only 36 m (118 ft 1 in), this means that the vehicle is a total of 456 m (1496 ft 1 in) long. The end cars can accommodate either 4 suites, 8 first class passengers, 32 business class passengers, or 64 economy class passengers. The intermediate cars can accommodate either 32 first class passengers, 108 business class passengers, or 200 economy class passengers.
Planned Operations
7 Trees:
Gehrig has stated that most of its focus will be on the better GZ-2, however, the GZ-2 is only set for production in May and will be operational by August. They also hinted at the use of the GX-1 over the GZ-1 on smaller city route, most likely due to lower noise pollution. Gehrig has however, announced the use of the GZ-1 on its Warsaw to Kiel line, Budapest to Munich line, Frankfurt to Poznan line, and the Dubrovnik to Ljubljana line. All lines are set to finish construction in April, with service starting in May.
The Warsaw to Kiel line is already constructed, with the opening ceremony to take place on the 11th of April 2024. The line is around 800 kms in length and is set to cost Gehrig 11.04 billion Euros ($12 billion NSD). This line makes use of the Geisler Wind Assisted Tunnels to hit speeds of up to 1,000 km/h (621 mph).
China (New Chinese Federation):
Gehrig China announced the opening of only one line using the GZ-1, this line being the Yinchuan to Shanghai line. They stated that, like Gehrig, they would favour the use of the superior GZ-2 for its better speeds. The Yinchuan to Shanghai line is approximately 1,650 kms and is set to cost $790.94 billion New Chinese Dollars (22.78 billion Euros/$24.75 billion NSD).
Sarkovitz:
Sarkovitz has ordered 2,930 kms (1821 miles) of track to go from West Kazakhstan to East Kazakhstan, the line is set to be operated by Gehrig for 50% of all profits made. Gehrig announced that this line would make use of the 1,000 km/h (621 mph) operational speed limit. However, neither Gehrig of the Government of Sarkovitz has disclosed whether the line will use a lot (or any) Wind Assisted Tunnels.
Nuevina:
Nuevina showed interest in potentially purchasing a Maglev to go from Nuevapolis. No further details were disclosed.

Track Gauge: Nosek Maglev Track (NMT)
The KN065 utilises the Nosek Maglev Track (NMT), this uses electrodynamic suspension to propel the vehicle. NMT also integrates induction charging (Electromagnetic Induction Charging) to power the train while it moves, increasing its range. The NMT is designed for speeds of up to 800 km/h (497 mph) and has used by Nosek since 2019.
The KN065 will have its chassis, electronic components and other system features produced in Nosek's Innsbruck Plant. The assembly of its exterior and interior will be in Nosek's Salzburg Bodywork Facility.
Specifications
It will be available in 3 cabin specifications, all of which utilise 15 cars. There will be a choice of 2 first class cars (1 end and 1 intermediate) plus 4 business class cars (all intermediate) with the other 9 cars (8 intermediate and 1 end) being economy class. The next choice is 4 business class cars (1 end and 3 intermediate) plus 11 economy class cars (10 intermediate and 1 end). The final choice will be an all-economy layout, with all 15 cars being economy class. There will also be an option to convert economy cars to cargo cars. Nosek has also unveiled a full-cargo version of the KN065, allowing high-speed cargo transport, however, the vehicle may not be able to carry extremely heavy loads.
The cars are designed for the best possible aerodynamics, this means that they are only 3 m (9 ft 10 in) high and 3.2 m (10 ft 6 in) wide. The end cars are each 38 m (124 ft 8 in) long and the intermediate cars are each 28 m (91 ft 10 in) long. The end cars can accommodate either 54 economy class passengers, 32 business class passengers, or 10 first class passengers. The intermediate cars can accommodate either 116 economy class passengers, 72 business class passengers, or 22 first class passengers.
Planned Operations
7 Trees:
NosekTransportation has announced its plans to build three new lines in 7 Trees, each making use of the new KN065 coupled with NMT. These lines are Innsbruck to Tree City Direct, Tree City to Duisburg via Munich, Stuttgart and Frankfurt, and Tree City to Split via Zagreb. Nosek hinted at a 630 km/h (391 mph) operational speed on these routes, and has said that these routes will be serviced with the three-class trains. The project is already under construction and Nosek has received a 2.3 billion ($2.5 billion NSD) grant from the government for just the Innsbruck to Tree City route. The Innsbruck to Tree City route is set to cost 9.2 billion ($10 billion NSD), the Tree City to Duisburg route will cost 20.7 billion ($22.5 billion NSD), and the Tree City to Split route will cost 13.8 billion ($15 billion NSD). These prices are only for the track.
Nosek has said that the Innsbruck to Tree City route will take only about 1 hour and 5 minutes. They said that construction of the line will finish in September, with the other lines finishing in October and December. Nosek also stated that they will commence operation as soon as possible.
China (New Chinese Federation):
CTC, a publicly listed Chinese railway operator, has expressed its interest in using the KN065 Maglev. CTC announced in a press statement that they had discussions with Nosek over potentially building a Beijing to Guangdong via Shanghai line, as well as a Taipei to Shanghai line. Neither Nosek or CTC disclosed whether an agreement had been made. Experts that no agreement was made, citing that it's a joint venture between Kami0iane Railways and Nosek.
Oskifinj:
The Oslokpolis Metro Rail (Maglev) in Oskifinj has began construction, 55 kms of the project will be built, with a further 65 kms awaiting approval. The Oskifinj government has approved and payed for the first stage of the project, costing 825 million, and the line is set to be operational in October.
Albend:
The government of Albend have expressed their interest in potentially building a Maglev line that utilises the KN065. However, none of the planning or routes have been disclosed to the public.
