1988
The coaches interior is modified by removing all interior walls and fittings and re-fitting as an open saloon, in line with modern passenger taste, in the style of the SBB's EW IV standard coaches. One bay at the coach end has folding seats to allow for a passenger in a wheelchair. In the vestibule, luggage and ski racks are provided, and one of the small windows on the former corridor side is replaced by an equipment cabinet.
The prototype is delivered in an experimental livery: dark brown over grey.
1991
These units are painted in the EW IV livery of dary green over grey, with the addition of a dark green stripe along the lower bodyside as an aid to recognition.
