@[email protected] Jönköping ain't called Little Jerusalem for nothing. When I lived in Värnamo, some 60 kilometres south of Jönköping, I had an 800 metre walk between my flat and my office. During the walk I passed four churches. The most prominently placed church in the town is _not_ the Lutheran one.
@mcnknopp It's so it looks like a worm.
Oh, and to easily connect multiple ones. The window inside the rubber is actually an entire driver unit. It swivels out of the way to create a corridor: https://mastodon.online/@Pepijn/110745124929906800
Attached: 2 images Some photos for passenger #train enthusiasts :-) The #danish IC3 and electric IR4 trains have an design where multiple units can be connected into one fully walkable tube worm. For this the entire front of a train, including driver controls, can swivel into a wall. Like many components the front is a fully modular unit. Here's a unit that was in a fire. Before and after photo. Rest of the train took a bit more work but it was also fully restored :-) Yellow structure is a transport frame.

@larstransportworld Any audio recording of the frankly scary sound of the poor engines when it accelerates? It sounds as if the poor engine is close to giving its last breath.
Edit: Ah, I found one I recorded myself. The interesting bit starts at 0:20
@larstransportworld The IC3s are so nice. (If one ignores that they have diesel engines.)
After "enjoying" the old DB IC carriages hired by DSB between København and Hamburg for some years, it was a relief in June to use the RE to Flensburg and then an IC3 to Kolding (and then an electric rubber-nose to København.) So much nicer, especially in 1st class.
