managed to go on the cursed PKP Intercity + SKPL diesel TLK train (SN84 / BR 614) a while ago; here's some pictures!
a red blocky train approaching the station at night, with rain being illuminated by the train's headlights. it has a large "SKPL" logo in white letters on the front, as well as the train name ("Strapa") and its designation (SN84-002)
the same train, with its rear car viewed from the side. it has an even bigger SKPL logo on the side, with "shortlines.pl" next to it. the car is divided into first and second class, with separate entrances
train door from the inside, with the info board showing it's TLK 36102 "Sudety" from Kraków Główny to Jelenia Góra, with a lot of stations in between. the door comprises mostly of a glass pane in the middle, with the environment outside the train being completely dark.
UIC number sticker above a door inside the train: "D-SKPL 95 80 0 914 023-6"

the interior feels very much fitting the age this train was made for - they started rolling them out in mid-1970s, and it looks like SKPL just slapped some stickers on top of the previous owner's paint job
train corridor with light gray walls closer to the viewer and beige walls in a section for bikes + foldable seats a bit further ahead
the foldable chair / luggage / bike section, with some of the seats open. it leads to another narrow corridor in the middle
same open section from another angle, with all the doors between train sections wide open
second class seating section, with some seats being around a table. the train is mostly empty, but brightly illuminated by fluorescent lamps on the ceiling

@jeder oh, but did KŚ actually repaint the inside, or just the outside?
ilostan.forumkolejowe.pl/index.php?nav=lok&id=6852&title=SN84-002 suggests that the outside was painted by "VIS GmbH - Halberstadt" when KŚ was going to use it
