Old ones actually The 5300 series doesn't have them anymore, but they used to have them for at the factory because there was no third rail there. They lack pantograph control though, from what I've heard they were controlled with a rope through the window

It's also based on MG2 but mainly on one of the SL (Stockholm) Cx series: https://www.flickr.com/photos/30389998@N03/44048053670/
The pantograph it uses has the same config as the one that was used for the MG2/1 but also the RET Duwag GT6 / GT8
Here you go, take a good hard look at both the rope and the pantograph

I see it... I didn't know 5300 had pantographs, I thought it only had 3rd rail, as these trains came from the MG2 (that's why they have that designation, MG2/1).
Thanks for the explanation and the pictures.

Two units also maintained their pantograph for testruns in Rotterdam, these 5300s make it all the way to De Tochten. Some other 5300s apparently made it to Schenkel once by accident but were quickly turned around there
Re: Screenshots & Videos
That's... Interesting
Are there any pictures of it? I really want to see what it looks like

I was still a kid when they did those testruns and didn't have a camera yet, I did see them go past my home a few times in the evening. Was 3x5300 but only the outer two had a pantograph. There is a photo taken at De Tochten somewhere out there from one of those testruns.

A single Randstadrail RSG3 on the way to Hageningen CS instead of Strandboulevard, due to track maintenance at Stadhuis station
