Hey there was a pretty neat writeup on Finnish made bi-level cars with interior pictures. They look similar to the Siemens brand and are 125 mph capable but they are a little more boxy and utilitarian on the insides. If anyone can find that link again via Google I lost the manufacturer name and link to the pics.
Apparently made by a Skoda subsidiary in Finland. https://www.skoda.cz/en/products/coaches/double-decker-cars/

Took me a minute to decode "Steering" cars, first thought was steerage class on ships but found it is what we call CAB Cars. How does one Steer a train?
Interesting that they have "sleeper cars". On the face of it, I wouldn't think Finland would have the distances to make overnight accomodations attractive.
I see that they offer auto carrier service at several locations, too.
Woluld these cars be NEC compatible?
Not likely, Finnish railroads are on 5-foot gauge.
