Good model, I recoqnised it immidiately, but:
The cars have one small window in one end, all others are “normal” sized.
The pantograph are on the 2nd car and from there on on every 2nd car - for at
4 car train that is still 2 pantographs. The longest trains drving are 12
cars long AFAIK. Some Eestonian trains have been rebuilt with a new cap (they
were just cars before) to become an engine. The pantographs should be app 2
studs from the end to make it real. The through ways between the cars are
missing too, dont know if that is on purpose.

Sonnich,
Thanks for your comments, links and advice.
I’ll try to tak as many of these comments into account for version 3 of the
train. Looking at the pictures I can see the small window but can’t tell if it
is always to the front of the train or changes front/back carriage by carriage.
Knowing the panto is only on every second car also means I can fix that (very
easy to do thanks to the modular design of the train).
The through way is there but I could find no picture so I made it up based on
what Australian trains of similar age have as a through way (open to the world
with handles so you don’t fall off). Could you tell me what sort of through way
the real trains have? A simple description (like concertina with swing door)
would be quite enough as I will have to compress and Lego-ify everything anyway.
I’d really like to make the Lego model as accurate as possible (within selective
compression etc.) as I like the real thing very much. If you have any more
advice on it, could you please let me know (by email if you prefer).
Thanks,
Tim
