Abstract
Designing the new cars was a question of scale. With only 33 cars required, it was desirable to use established technology, but the tunnel diameter and track curvature decreed that no existing design was suitable. The article describes areas of the cars made special to the 'mini' system to overcome tunnel and track constraints.
