■ Revised frame, in particular, the access and the plug-in

■ Model in “Sparlack” (simplified colouration) paintwork
■ Item 74694 with modified running number
The ÖBB had the Schlieren coaches delivered between 1965 and 1981
and for a long time they formed the backbone of the Austrian
domestic passenger train service. They are standard Swiss coaches
(type EW I) adapted to Austrian conditions. The name is derived
from the Swiss town of Schlieren, the location of the wagon factory
where this type of coach was built and designed. The wagons were
not only used in Austria but also, for example, on the
Salzburg-Rosenheim-Kufstein line, on the
Lienz-Brixen-Brenner-Innsbruck corridor and in Switzerland.
