Just uploaded pics of my rendition of a Russian EMU that runs one of the legs
of the Trans-Siberian railway. Not sure of the name and class of it as the
only railway fan pictures I could find were on a Russian site in Russian
(x-posted to .loc.ru just in case).
You can see the real thing here or here and as
you can see it is in fact an EMU but I could find no pictures of the
carriages so left it at the engine.
I really, really like the design of this train. It has that real Soviet
Commercial Design style that is such a fascinating design movement (I know it
has a name but I can’t find it off-hand). The nose is just fantastic.

Tim, your model is very nice. I live in Russia (and used to live in SU before).
When I was a student, I travelled with these trains a lot. Since Russian is my
native language I can help you to translate something to English with a pleasure
- just let me know, what do you need :)
I’m not a big train fan, so I do not know what “EMU” stands for. The train you
made is passenger train. There are a lot of these trains all over the country. I
think, that you made old-designed train. You see train with new nose design
here:

Train’s class is ER9P (transcribed from Russian), I think. Train you made is
#162, that new-styled one is #360. I think they do not have any special names.
All these trains were made in Riga (letter R in the class name). Since it is
capital of another country now, I’m not sure how many new trains are imported
into the Russia these days (not many, if any, I guess).
You may also see train with cars at these pictures (different class, ER2, but
with very similar design).

| (...) EMU - Electric Multiple Unit DMU - Diesel Multiple Unit These terms are not commonly used in the US I don't think(1). But the idea is that the train isn't "locomotive hauled" but rather more than one of the "cars" has a power truck, either (...) (19 years ago, 20-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
