The are standard level of comfort. I have ran many of them and I think they perform well given their history and age.

I remember something about the bag toilets in NS units.
I hope that has been squared away!

The general consensus on the big orange railroad is that NS motors are some of the filthiest worn out piles out there running the rails.
