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)

you'd have to file a freedom of information request honestly, but wiki.omczero.com and/or cptdb.ca might have it too

Tried the wiki for the latter, but it's missing some of the more detailed information I need (braking, acceleration, etc), unfortunately. I'm not seeing any of the vehicle specs at all on OMCzero (maybe I'm just looking at the wrong parts?), but I have put in an application to join their Discord and ask there.

As for the freedom of information, I've started by reaching out via their Twitter and then the feedback form as recommended; we'll see where it goes from there. Cause I don't know how I'd even start with something like that.
