I'll never forget the day when the DB went on strike, and Swiss trains crossed the border to pick up passengers from Frankfurt.
Smoothest, quietest, roomiest train I've ever been in. Even the aesthetics were calming, with nice wide windows.
No random stairs or narrow corridors, no garish yellow or red colours, no speakers or beeping doors yelling at top volume.
Don't get me started with the aggressive light at night.
You're just describing the swiss old single level carriages.
I wonder if grandfather post means the Einheitswagen IV (https://youtu.be/u3unRLu2BXM?t=90) or if they were already impressed with the IC2000 (https://youtu.be/T1IdUgrIjR8?t=63).
Although the LED lighting in the newer IC2000 is too cold for my liking.
I think it was the Einheitswagen that I liked. The IC2000 seems pretty spacious compared to the DB's RB trains, though maybe I'm not comparing apples to apples
