Schematic side elevations at one scale, 10 px per metre, from each train's recorded dimensions, standing on the same rail. Faded drawings are indicative: estimates where no dimensioned drawing has been published. Lengths are over couplers where published; “about” marks one added up from the cars, without the gaps between them. People are seats plus standing at five per square metre, where both are published; otherwise seats are shown where published, so sorting by capacity puts a seats-only figure among the people figures, and trains with neither come last.
