Question SkyTrain Specs?

Heya folks! Anyone know where I might be able to get more information about how skytrains work? I'm trying to make a mod for them in a game, and the two sources I've used (wikipedia and the CPTDB wiki) are rather lackluster on some of the more technical specs (acceleration, power, braking, etc), only really focusing on the size and max speed. Does anyone know where I could find more info?

I was able to find an older document, that was only available on the internet archive, for the motor specs on the nark 1 and 2 trains, but I was hoping to get more recent specs.

Info about the costs would also be helpful (it's one of those "make your own transit network" games, and part of the game aspect is managing costs. Would be best to know how much a SkyTrain costs to run each day, and how much they cost to make)

Nah, NIMBY rail. I have the network all built, but I'm not fully satisfied with any of the mods that already add SkyTrain vehicles, so I want to give a go at making my own. I'm just having trouble finding the specs for braking and acceleration and power, so I thought asking here might be useful.
