That was in the "Spur I" (gauge I) part in the back? ;-)
I often use the Maerklin catalogue for inspiration too...

I never saw a face to face combination in any train modeller magazine.... But I
have to admit, that I have no idea about back-to-back or back-to-face
orientation: both seem to make sence...

If you drive with 60 km/h diesel power a commuter train, that has for sure
only been on very small routes. So I think you will have seen only small (and
oldfashioned) 4-wheel cars behind these engine. Waggons that had no brakes
for high speed main lines any more have been used for such smaller lines much
longer.
But this is more or less a "guess": - I'm far too young to have ever seen a
DM236 with a passenger train.
