Special features contributing to enhanced performance

• In 2009, the company modified core model of the dining car. The modification was based on experience gained during continuous operation of «Russian Railways» OJSC premium service trains;

• Furniture in the dining hall is made of modern decoration materials instead of traditional plywood and wood. New decoration is wear-resistant and, therefore, has a longer life;

• Interior is decorated with thermoformed plastic elements. This high quality material is more practical. It belongs to the family of fire resistant materials, has low fire spreading and smoking coefficient, antiseptic and noise absorbing characteristics;

• The car is tinted with panes providing enhanced noise reduction and heat protection. There is a window for emergency escape on each side of the car;

• The interior of the dining car is illuminated with LED and luminescent lamps;

• The galley contains multi-function electric oven with six burners specially designed for railway cooking;

• The car has a special compartment for dish washing with filters for water purification and disinfection;

• Capacity of the battery used in the car (350 A•h) is sufficient to keep kitchen appliances working yet during layovers and low speed travel regardless of the generator operation. Diesel generator is used as a supplementary power supply, as well as for battery recharging;

•  High capacity diesel generator has an extended service life, it does not have to be serviced frequently. Diesel generator requires additional vibration absorbers and dumpers, which prevent vibration transfer to the car body;

• Unlike similar conditioning system mounted under the car, in this case air conditioning system has a built-in voltage adapter protected from external shocks, dust, stones, snow and water. As air conditioning system consumes 2.5 kW less than the previous model, it becomes possible to switch on more appliances at a time;

• The car is equipped with ecologically friendly toilet; the toilet is intended for maintenance staff, whereas car service personnel can use the shower.Basin mixer tap is combined with an expandable shower hose;

• The car was built with a lateral and frontal manually opened swing doors ideal for temperature range from –50 to + 50 ºС.By customer's request, our company can install automatic veener-sliding doors with electric drive and swiveling foot boards;
