Built in 1940 as a departmental wagon on old bogies from a tender from a Gotthardbahn steam locomotive, this vehicle was rebuilt in 1963 into a mobile workshop. On this occasion, the braking system was modernized, saving the old brake shoes.

We had the forethought to build a bar for the heavy set, with a compartment to carry cycles ... this car would be given to the Bahn Museum Kerzers which he reached at the 8th of March of 2008, together with the E 3/3 ex RVT 8.

A beautiful wagon…to be preserved and rebuilt. Interior of the wagon workshop on it's arrival at St-Sulpice.
