[quote user="longhorn1969"]I wander if this is what Anderson has in mind and is off the shelf.[/quote] It is a possible candidate but there are numerous trainsets available outside the USA. Off the shelf? I don't think so. As long as FRA and European crashworthiness standards are not harmonized there is no off the shelf. The Alternative Design for Tier 1 Passenger Equipment is still not part of the law so FRA has to grant a waiver from 49 CFR Part 238 Subpart C or parts of it. Guideline is: <a href="https://www.fra.dot.gov/Elib/Document/90">https://www.fra.dot.gov/Elib/Document/90</a> It requires measures the European standard EN 15227 doesn't contain. European equipment might by chance meet these but it isn't necessarily so One waiver was for the above mentioned Stadler DMUs on TexRail which only carries light freight traffic. We have to wait and see how the FRA acts when equipment for predominantly freight traffic is jugded. I think there is no off the shelf equipment available. Regards, Volker
