I have revisited this train design a few times since the original back in
1997 or 1998, I think. Here it is, an attempt to model a
German double decker
commuter train, revised one more time.
Viw Prior versions
for comparison.
This latest version 11 also introduces a new
locomotive design
inspired by the DB class 143.
Both the v11 double decker set and the DB class 143 locomotive are
purposefully intended to be simple and straight-forward in design. Nearly
zero SNOT. That which is SNOT is quite simple-- headlights, one-piece fuel
tank. The construction is anticipated to be more of a “table-up” build
process-- simplified for younger builders(?). But, at the same time, the
effort to create a recognizable and strong appearance drove the design.
Impossible-to-find elements do creep into the model. Favoured are the tall
arches in transparent gray/black (opt to solid black?) and the “train roof”
element in red on the locomotive (sub gray).
Regarding the double deck floor plan, figs below get chairs, while those
up-top do not in the effort to lower the height by just one-more (wafer thin
chocolate mint) plate.
The entire upper section of the double deck is intended to lift-off with a
unique split taking the top of the vestibule/diaphram along for the removal.
Thanks for looking.
later,
James Mathis

Wow James! I really love the lines of the new double-deckers. Much better than
the previous ones, in my mind. Only, I think the upper windows seems to be a bit
oversized? And of course - I wish they came in Danish DSB colours instead! ;-)
Great job.
Take care,
