You see, this is the level of unawareness about trains I have...


And that's the sign of a good refurb - indistinguishable from new for
everyone that doesn't know the detail.

The German Silberling coaches surprised me on that basis originally,

that they were 1960s body-underframe stock of a very primitive design
indeed. All it took was a full interior re-panel and re-seat.
