Comments

Wheels ⌀ 11 (should be 11.5).

Ref. 67503: exclusive T2M. Spoke wheels, not very pretty. Seems unpainted. The brown colour is the one before the UIC red, suggesting the very beginning of the renumbering, which confirms the revision date in 1969. This wagon is too light.

Modifications

  • Ref. 46618: ⌀ 11.4 wheels. Start loading (base + rust powder).
  • Ref. 67503: ⌀ 11.4 wheels, brakes, and buffers painted.
