They look nice and seem comfortable.

Are the Chinese still building that HSR line in NK?
>>892747
Is the loading gauge on the Pyongyang subway actually that big? I never realized Soviet subways were so wide.
>new
we all know they just pimped the old ones a little
>>892992
I thought they were almost all built to 2.7 m wide, 3.6 hight, about 20 long and 3 car units with trailer in middle?
Nation wide standardization you see, as in "behold, this single megafactory (administred by good comrade Pjotrovich) will now produce all metro cars the soviet peoples across the globe will ever need, the product lines are as follows..."
I'm sure Pyongyang uses Russian standard units, whatever the exact dimensios would be. Any Russians here?
Also, wikipedia says Pyongyang uses former Berlin rolling stock. We know that is 2.65 meters and 3.6, which I suppose the Russians have broadened to 2.7-odd by tightening engineering rolerances. Something from that ballpark, essentially a tramway loading gauge excluding turning radius.

Like everything in the DPRK, it looks dated, but futuristic for the DPRK.

Surprise, mr. I-know-everything. Pyongyang uses old Berlin metro units.
"Since 1998, the Pyongyang metro has used former German rolling stock from the Berlin U-Bahn. There are two different types of rolling stock:
GI ("Gisela"), former East Berlin stock, built between 1978 and 1982.
D ("Dora"), former West Berlin stock, built between 1957 and 1965."

Well memed mate!
>>892747
Just to let you know, they are completely modernized D-stock units (ex. Berlin) >>893024
mentioned in his comment. The boggies and the underfloor aggregates are clearly telling it.
And for the reworked EMU itself, they might be somewhat okay for NK standards, but look cheap in the interior finish.
>>893069
That's clearly new cheap Chinese rolling stock. Why the hell would they rebuild antiquated Berlin rolling stock when the Chinese rolling stock builders are experiencing a boom right now?
>>893094
Just because their big neighbour has a boom in rolling stock production doesn't mean they can afford it.
The whole chassis is still 1:1 the same to the D-stock.
>>892747
They look pretty nice actually. 10/10 would ride in.
>>893177
Let me guess, you're the same person that thinks the Pyongyang subway is 'just for show', right?

You do realize the Chinese have been paying the railway modernisation program they've been going through, right? The Chinese are giving them new rolling stock as part of their welfare check.
>>893094
here you can see dear leader walking past the back of the car which clearly had windows in the front space but now the windows are covered
it's an old Berlin unit, period.

>herp derp in North Korea everyone is starving and they only run the subway for tourists, if you disagree you is North Korea internet defence force
dude, it's still a more or less functioning country, even if it's not a decadent shithole like the US where everyone drives gas guzzling SUVs while stuffing themselves with burgers

you're taking your inner marxism too far, better stick to your organic coffee and riding fixies

I'm going to go with "less functioning".
