V. They aren't any thinner but two cars are permanently joined together which means you can walk the length of two cars. Seats are arranged differently, etc. Effectively each car is over 90 ft. long instead of about 40 ft. for the old cars. They feel much more spacious.
The new one does look slimmer - optical illusion? Maybe I should study that and learn..! I thought you'd like my crane. ;-) WV today is adorsen - seems appropriate in view of your love of machinery.

90kph, not bad for the inner city.
I'm a bit of a transit geek, so this shot made my day!
