Rail & Transit parts lists
BOMwiki maps 99 rail & transit products, each exploded into a recursive bill of materials: 1,762,448 parts in total, down to individual fasteners and cells. The largest is the high-speed trainset at 1,445,128 parts across 13 top-level assemblies; the simplest is the rail milling train at 35. Across the domain the same components recur: fastener set, ball bearing, bare PCB and microcontroller appear in most of these machines, and each is a single shared page here, so a correction to one fixes every product that uses it. Open any product for its parts diagram, the function of each part, and the full bill of materials.
