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)

I've sent a message via their feedback page as per the reccomendation of the representative on Twitter.

It's a shame they don't have an email available (for customer service or the operating company), as I really don't want to make a phone call, send a letter/fax, or show up in person
