Well I think something is definitely wrong. Whether it is the website or the
catalog, I don't know, since I don't know much about trains either. I get
the pictures on the website as follows (compared to catalog):
10022 Observation/mail/sleeping car
10025 Dining/bagage car
But perhaps someone knows better?
