As I was browsing the production from ACME, I came across very colorful sets for the "Saratov-Express".
Prototypical train formation
There is a decent number of pictures on Flickr, and videos on YouTube and even a playlist. The great website Trains World Expresses has also a section on this train.
The passenger cars have been released in the last couple of years by ACME in three sets:
ACME 55149 3-piece carriage set of the D 1248/1249 “Saratov Express” consisting of 3x WLABm of the RZD. The paintwork and lettering corresponds to the Ep. V
ACME 55150 3-piece carriage set of the D 1248/1249 “Saratov Express” consisting of 3x WLABm of the RZD. The paintwork and lettering corresponds to the Ep. V

I only found those 2 pictures of the models on Flickr:
And a couple of videos while waiting for my own videos 😁. The first video is in Polish but seems to contain a lot of detailed information. I'll look into it closer later on.
It seems those ACME sets are pretty hard to find ...
