There’s so little trans guys on here. I guess they don’t go on into the depths of the internet as much as us.
i’ve seen quite a few transmascs in the wild across lemmy, but hardly any of them seem to actually interact with any of the trans communities on here. i honestly don’t know what causes it, and i don’t think it’s restricted to online spaces - the very few transmascs i know irl have all complained about the lack of any cohesive transmasc community, with most of them only knowing one or two others irl, while local queer and trans community events have a regular turnout of dozens of transfems and probably at least 200-300 of them having shown up to least one event in the last year since i’ve been out.
That’s unfortunate. Although, I have known a lot more transmascs IRL than I know transfems.

Which train models are those and where do they drive? Asking for a friend…

I would also like to know. If I had to guess I think the one on the right is a part of the Stadler FLIRT family, but that’s about as much as I know.

The one on the right does look like some of the Flirt trains, but it seems smaller. Maybe https://www.sbb.ch/en/travel-information/services-on-train/our-trains/gtw-seetal.html
That one has a white “B pillar” or whatever it’s called in train terminology, but the one in the picture looks like it could be the same structurally, just that part is black.

I’m sure it’s Thurbo, that red t fits the beginning of the branding
And the train is called Wil, so that’s RABe 526 730

Not sure how it comes across in German but for us English speaking folks “Thurbo” sounds like a portamenteau of “Throbbing” and “Turbo”.

Haha well it is actually a portmanteau of “Turbo” and “Thur”, the name of a regionally significant river, or perhaps the canton of “Thurgau” named after the river. I think that’s the association people in its service area will generally make.
