RailPlan has been awarded by Rotem the Contract to construct a full scale Mock-Up of the newly designed SCRRA Metrolink Commuter Railcar. This Mock-Up will be modular in design to facilitate shipment. to SCRRA facility in Southern California.

The mock-up will incorporate all of the specification requirements of a Cab, Passenger Door Entry, Passenger Seats, ADA Toilet Room, Bicycle Storage, and support the interior design and equipment installation engineering task.

Four phases have been defined for this project which include carbody structure mock-up, “soft mock-up”, side door prototype mock-up, and the final mock-up.

Phase 1, carbody structure, will result in the structure being represented wood and steel construction to simulate necessary interface points.

Phase 2, “soft mock-up”, will utilize foam core in order to perform conceptual ergonomic studies of the cab and interior components.

During phase 3, RailPlan will install a complete functional side door assembly with emergency table for demonstration.

Phase 4, final mock-up will focus on removal of many foam core components, installed during phase 2, and installing actual production configuration equipment and components. Those items will include: Interior Linings, Lockers, Windscreens, Lightings, Sittings, ADA Toilet Unit and Cab compounds.

Following various engineering reviews and, RailPlan will disassemble the mock-up in 5 modules for shipment in the SCRRA designed location for re-assembling for SCRRA use.
