Given the early design an implementation of these Wagens, and the timeline of the commercialisation of fluorescent lights. Did the Wagens begin life with fluorescent lights, or was it a later retrofit, and if it was a retrofit, at what time period? Cheers….. Mike

I decided to use the 73400 (yellow) for the smoking section and the 73401 for the non-smoking section https://de.wikipedia.org...gen_Abteil_3._Klasse.jpg https://www.sbbarchiv.ch...amp;width=520&klid=9 https://www.bahnbilder.d...-am.html#google_vignette Regards Mike C

Most modern lighting kits from the various model manufacturers are much too "glaring whitish". Those light weight coaches of yesteryear were not mobile dental practices.
