Which is the crux of most viewers here on SubChat...cars that have end vestibules, cars that have control cabs, cars that can be directly coupled to other cars are mostly discredited, thought of as "ugly.""flexibility is built into some of their designs such as end vestibules for Southern region EMUs such as Class 375, which personally I don't find them particularly beautiful even though that supposed to be the apex of British EMU design! " I don't know what JoeV wants. Vestibule doors are for function, not just for looks. The doors aren't needed for crew purposes when the control cab is on the upper level and you can only reach that cab from the stairwell in the middle of the car. "METRA was quite anal is making their MU's be just like gallery cab cars. They took this to the ridiculous extreme of leaving out the end vestibule door. At least NICTD (and the future Metra order) corrected that." D. Harrison |
