Rolling Stock of Wellington: The DM/D Class EMU

This is the first full video I've made with this style, so I'd love to hear your opinions/criticisms! Otherwise, I hope you enjoy learning about these weird little trains. Sources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14... Door thing: So the claim on wikipedia is that ‘The 36/42 stock had ventilation louvres in the doors; 46 stock had taller windows’ and the source is a book by Geofrey Churchman called ‘The Story of the Wellington to Johnsonville Railway’ which I was unable to get a copy of to verify. To the best of my knowledge, this just isn’t true. Here’s some photos of 36 stock in July 1938 (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi... https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...) as you can clearly see, they don’t have the Louvres on the doors, and they have to be 36 stock since that was in 1938. But, this photo of a 36 stock car in 1985 shows it with louvres on the doors (https://www.flickr.com/photos/dx5517/..., but this photo of a 46 stock shows them without louvres (https://www.flickr.com/photos/dx5517/..., but this 46 stock in the same year has them (https://www.flickr.com/photos/dx5517/.... What’s even more confusing is that the refurbished units in later years lost them (https://www.flickr.com/photos/dx5517/...) while the unrefurbished units that were returned to service had them (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi.... To the best of my knowledge, it appears that the 36, 42 and potentially some 46 stock were delivered without louvres, but later stock was built with them, and some older stock were retrofitted with them in the 50s or 60s, and then when the 46 stock was refurbished in the 80s the extended life sets had them removed, but the preserved and stored sets didn’t. My assumption is that it may have been true when Churchman wrote his published book in 1988, but just isn’t now, or a wikipedia editor misrepresented what he said. I did cross reference this with NZ rolling stock lists to verify what kind of stock each train was, unfortunately it’s only accessible via the wayback machine now (https://web.archive.org/web/202002262... https://web.archive.org/web/202002262...)
