Back to the virtual drawing board then.
Love this one. Interesting 3 doors per side. As per the real PEP I thinkFrom the other (wrong

Aha so a Cravens 105 survived the asbestos cull and, with a slight reconfiguration of its passenger saloons, made it into this livery!
The Scotrail Enviro 100 was not showing last time I viewed this thread. That is brilliant. I like that the passenger door has been maintained. All it needs now is to have road wheels as well as the railway wheels and rural lines are sorted.
You beat me to it!
....not to mention the third rail on the platform side!
That junction makes no sense whatsoever! AIs often seem to assume trains are typically very long, probably due to US influence.
A modern pacer! At least it has bogies, so should be a better ride and less noisy on tight curves. The low floor is a challenge though. While there are no doubt substandard platforms at minor stops on rural lines, this wouldn't match 3ft platforms elsewhere unless the typical 'kneeling' suspension on buses was adapted to raise and lower the entire vehicle to match the particular station.
A closer inspection also reveals seats behind the doors. That would please people who like seats and constrict capacity in equal measure. A great plan.
Mind the gap between train and platform edge
It's like some horrendous adaptation of LMS speed signalling and a CLS/semaphore cross-breed...
Must be a continental loading gauge
I recall reading on Twitter that the idea was mentioned in a Transport Select Committee meeting discussing level boarding! It's clearly not at all realistic on lengthy mainline trains where it would add a lot of complexity, and add to dwell time, but it might be an option in certain niches for very light operation on branch lines. MOB gauge-changing trains used on the Golden Pass route in Switzerland also change height when they switch between metre and standard gauge to better match the platforms.
I've now added one of my own onto this linked page

and the track seems to "grow" a rail as the line curves away round the viaduct.
Looks not entirely unlike one of those Thai class 158 units in terms of appearance and livery, albeit one carriage too long.This 156 in Northern Rail dark blue (early 1990s) only looks like a 156 if you squint really hard
I rather like the Bo-Bo Baby Class 66! Perhaps that should be, proportionally, a Class 44!
I mean, I did say it was a very quick stab!
That gives a whole new meaning to upcycling
As someone who is fascinated by the historic reasons for provision of unusual elements in viaducts, the latticework section suggests something more important for those two arches. However, the housing suggests that there was limited space for anything to pass under them. There is also a curious third floor to the end terrace just above the "156" front carriage.I've now added one of my own onto this linked page
Show off your realistic AI railway images!
I don't think Gemini got the memo when I asked for a Lumo train in Kings Cross station with passengers clamouring to get on. It has kind of put it in an early FirstGroup livery, but the HST seems to be a bit weird at the front. Looks like a cross of a HST and an IÉ DMU. Kings Cross is OK-ish...

London Underground S8 Stock in Northern Livery?
That's very reminiscent of A Stock painted 1988, a precursor to LU standard house colours of red/white/blue.

Reminds me somewhat of the New Haven's (US) Roger Williams (a six-car Budd RDC set with loco-style cabs and noses at the outer ends).
There's a photo of the thing on the Wikipedia page; apparently both end cars and one of the intermediates survive in preservation.
I'm more worried about the position of the bridge relative to the train, maybe there's another arch. Less said about the driver the better. Owain Glyndwr's flag is a bit rubbish too.Y seren fôr goch instead of y ddraig goch?
