>>2017057The EN57 is around 64ish meters long, around 21-22 meters for the Ra and Rb wagons whilst the "s" engine wagon comes in a little shorter at around closer to 20 meters I think. Though I always thought the design was rather close to the American metro rolling stock (such as the Chicago "L" trains) they are actually quite long per wagon when viewed from the side.
Interestingly enough, they actually did plan for the first generation models to have doors at the front similar to the Chicago "L" rolling stock, hence the conspicuous window shape and division between the driver cabin that some of you may have noticed. You can see this better on the black and white blueprints/technical diagrams. They look even more similar to those railcars there, given the neutral color scheme. The trains bearing this more minimalist color scheme (such as KD's "Endolino" unit) can actually look pretty modern and retro-futurist almost similar to the 1960s concept art for the L rolling stock.
