Hi Goerge

Happy Christmas to you & family

Been on quite a few of these in Latvia and Lithuania. Memories of trundling (at a good speed!) through forests, country villages and meadows on beautiful summer days!

The ones in videos 3 & 4 are Class DR1's (various variants/modifications of the class subsequently) and were built by Rīgas Vagonbūves Rūpnīca (RVR), originally in 1963, in Riga, Latvia. They were/are used quite heavily across various Eastern European countries. Estonia withdrew theirs in 2014 though after transference to their Stadler Railcars and the discontinuation of the Tallinn-St. Petersburg route.

They seem more heavily built than the 22000s, you get the impression there's a pretty heavy engine in the front rather than some hamsters being overworked the underfloor
