Price 1966: FF3.00

The shape corresponds to the Elo 3.11 wagon, but neither the body length (82 instead of 88.6) nor the wheelbase (46 instead of 57.5) match.

UIC registration: 01 87 513 1 000 to 8 099. These wagons were not braked.

Another copy offered by a friend. Little used but rusty enough. Registered TTww 52368.

Modifications

• Ballast and new buffers.
• Assigned to the Track service: transformed into a “tachometer” wagon: an axle carries a cylindrical magnet. A bicycle odometer is placed into the body. See article on this topic.
