ÖBB COMFORT- PASSENGER CARRIAGE only 4 axles
From 1977 to 1982 the ÖBB purchased comfortable passenger carriages for international travel as part of its renewal programme. These carriages which were financed through EUROFIMA were also bought by other European railways.
Austria received 100 passenger carriages of the type Z1, which could travel at 200 km/h and were fully airconditioned. The two Austrian companies SGP and Jenbacher built a further 275 carriages of the type Z1 and 130 carriages of the type Z2, which could travel at only 160 km/h and had no airconditioning. In addition 60 new Couchette Cars of the type UIC-X were purchased. Originally the carriages had orange-red paintwork with achat-grey trim. Later they were painted traffic red. The windows had an umbra grey band and the chassis and the roof were also painted umbra grey. The couchette cars were originally ultramarine-blue with a white-grey roof and trim, later achat-grey with a blue band round the windows and a grey roof. The service carriages were originally orange-red with achat-grey trim, later ivory with roof, band round the window and chassis of umbra grey. The restaurant car had the same paintwork as the passenger carriage. Double decker wagons, which could travel at 160 km/h, were acquired from Talbot/Aachen and Jenbacher for the transport of motor vehicles.
KLEINBAHN offers these vehicles both in the original orange-red paintwork and in the traffic red version for your express trains.
