@driverbod125 Serious Q if anyone can answer. I have an awful lot of experience of hauling EMUs with locos / translators BUT how does a 66 couple to and control the brakes on the Stadler fleets without brake translator equipment. Does the Stadlers have brake pipe & distributors ?

@driverbod125 @Clinnick1 The Class 231 and Class 756 that @tfwrail have ordered will look exactly the same but the Class 231 are diesel only and Class 756 are Tri-mode. Plus with the Class 398 Citylink tram-trains to be manufactured as well.
