unverified seats: Hitachi's 2019 order announcement gave 453; Avanti gives 451, shown here, drawing: the cars are the Class 800's measured layout, which Avanti's own side view matches to a mean of 40 mm; the driving-car length and wheel size carry the 800's doubts, and Avanti's side view ends the driving car about 0.2 m shorter than the 800's drawings do, colours: sampled from photographs; no paint references have been published. The blue shades from the cab back; it's drawn flat, livery: traced off Avanti's small side view (about 56 mm per px); edges to about 150 mm. The black window band is as Avanti draws it, car height: the Class 800's drawn height, car types: which of the 807's intermediate cars are motored, and which is the trailer, isn't in a cited source; the composite next to the first-class driving car follows from its 49 first-class seats, Avanti's side view draws the sixth car 0.5 m longer than the others, an artwork slip; drawn as 25 m
