The Class WH17 NMT001 & NMT002 is the first generation New Model Technology rolling stock to be used on the WolvHaven Metro (5th Haven).
A total of 3 different types of trains were built by FAD, named the class WH17, WH17A and WH17B. While the three types of trains look similar, they are distinguished by the different type of gangways which are used. The design of the WH17 is heavily based off the GEC Seoul Subway 2000 series.
History
Server member lookitsbenji proposed to manufacture model-based rolling stock for the server in 2019. Discussions would lead to the design of the rolling stock to be based off the GEC Seoul Subway 2000 series. The trains would be manufactured under the then brand name Benbardier. However, delays and a loss of interest would cause the original design to be scrapped. A test train with consisting of 6 cars was produced, but was not released to the public as it was largely incomplete.
Bokbokobama tried to take over the project, producing his variant of the trains but it did not last long.
In 2021, FAD; led by jotch took over the project, producing the final versions of the class WH17
Variants
There are 3 different types of Class WH17. Namely they Class WH17, WH17A and WH17B. The trains are similar except for their gangways, and are classified as such in accordance with the Rolling Stock Classification.
WH17 is the original train model with no gangway or articulation.
WH17A is the more common train model with retrofitted gangways that allow passengers to walk from 1 carriage to the other.
WH17B is an experimental train with retrofitted double-gangways. The double-gangway design was to see whether the trains could negotiate tighter turns, very similar to the Paris Metro's BOA train.
