Sorry, had to do this in a rush and don't have any more info. Obviously this is diesel rather than steam, but hopefully it will cover the technical and financial difficulties of constructing a new type of train.
My personal opinion is that the HST/43 represents the heydey of passenger train construction when the only things that were bolted onto trains were the parts that made them go. The trains that are being built nowadays are full of unnecessary computers and sensors, which invariably prevent them from doing the job there were intended to do.
