BalkanExpress,
I am NOT an expert on Britishness of rolling stock but all British stock is built with an amount of tumblehome (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumblehome). Does this occur elsewhere?

Sorry, I've been some days off. When I say that 'a train looks so british' I mean some parts that appears with no doubt in British stock, basicly those intercomunication doors mostly seen in UK and influence area
