Liliput L344363 H0e 2-axle passenger car, ABI/s, AB 1, Zillertal Alps train, EP.III.

The 2-axle passenger wagon of the Zillertal railway, Epoch III.
In the years 1900 to 1903 (post-delivery 1914) the Zillertal railway acquired different variants of the classical, eight-year narrow gauge local railway passenger cars, which characterized many of the Austrian local railways. Over time, the vehicles originally finished in wood were undergoing some reconstructions. Among other things the wagons Bi/s 12, 13, 15, 18 as well as ABI/s 2 and 3 (and later also the Bi/s 20) were provided with a sheet metal covering and were fitted with aluminum window frames, which changed their appearance considerably.

The Liliput models show these cars in the condition of the epoch IIIb in the tuned Zillertal railway paint and old lettering, as they were still planned to be used in the 60s in the Zillertal. You will find the suitable locomotive under article number L141471. Interestingly, the wagons received different shades of brown, which were also implemented in the model. Later, the vehicles were allocated – initially still in the old paint – to the nostalgic steam train of the Zillertal railway. They are still on the road today in the Zillertal with new paint and lettering. These remarks are also available in the Liliput program.
