Re: 4GT/Millenium Trains and the DKT's, DKM's

Hopefully nothing will ever quite be like the DKMs/DKTs.  Without doors
between paired cars the smell of effluent from (what must be full) effluent
holdover tanks, as the train climbs the Mountains, can be quite off-putting.
Aside from that the cars are fine.
