Thanks, I think I went with "standard rail vehicle" (thanks syvie) but this seems safest for the glossary.

regulation rail vehicle --I found this in a German glossary:

Explanation:
Regelfahrzeug

Eisenbahnfahrzeug, das ohne Einschränkung den Regeln der Eisenbahn-Bau- und Betriebsordnung entspricht.

Eisenbahn-Bau- und Betriebsordnung (EBO)

Rechtsverordnung des Bundesministers für Verkehr über den Bau und Betrieb von regelspurigen Eisenbahnen des öffentlichen Verkehrs in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland.

I hope this might help, it seems not to be a type of train design, but a transportation type following these German regulations.

Of course, Regel can also mean standard (as Rebecca posted) or norm.
