Do they have any design lineage with the DB class 611 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB_Class_611)?Mine might look a bit like this, but longer than 2 coaches:

Hi there
Just want to know if anyone has designed their own DMU/Emu type in their spare time?
It would be rather like a Pacer (is that the answer you wanted?)
Such radical, passenger-centric thinking is verboten on the modern, dynamic, thrusting railway of today.For a DMU that would work IC type trains I would put all the underfloor engines in a big metal box that is separate from the passenger accommodation. Could call it something like, I dunno, a locomotive. This would mean the passenger accommodation would be quieter and have less vibrations and therefore much more pleasant for long journeys

For me
Restore the view out of the front and have non tinted big windows so all can see out. 158's as built came close apart from the air con and lack of a front view.

Quick! Give CrossCountry a call!Hang on! Imagine being able to easily add more of these "carriages" to meet demand on busy days. WOW these carriages sound like a great idea. Do they have them in Europe? I bet the Germans have them!
That would only work on our over crowded network if it had the same acceleration curve as a MU and didn't waste platform space (i.e. had the same number of seats as the comparable length MU).
