These coaches will supplement the older coach sets as well as the similar "Thello" sets to reproduce the consists as they run from Rome to France via the Simplon and Rhone valley routes. They can also be mixed with my Roco SNCF couchettes to reproduce the Venice-Paris and Rome-Paris consists in traditional liveries (Pre-Artesia). The coaches can also be used to supplement my EN Roma Sets (55034/55035) and other consists as they ran on the Gotthard and Loetschberg lines. ACME 55082-55083 Thello Paris-Venice ACME 55033 - 55046 Treno Notte Couchette and Sleeper ACME 55146 Treno Notte Comfort T4 and WLABm ACME 55146 Closeup ACME 55146 WLABm Type MU refit Treno Notte Class Regular Treno Notte WLABm added to Thello consist: Treno Notte is the night train livery of Trenitalia. The T4 is the latest upgraded version of the UIC Couchette coach. It was not unusual to find combinations of newer and older coaches around 2004, but by today most of the older coaches have been upgraded or taken out of international service. Thello is a joint venture between Trenitalia and Veolia for trains between Italy and France (some through Switzerland) The consists that I model represent these trains as they run between Domodossola (IT) and Vallorbe (FR) on the SBB Simplon line.

		Ep. III (My layout is set in 1962). I collect mainly DSB, DB and SBB but I'm quite... Open minded. I'm quite a big collector of NOHAB lok :)

I don't think that the Night Trains to France (Thello) have changed livery. I can continue to use the XMPR Comfort livery coaches for my pre-Artesia (SNCF-FS) and for my combined FS-SNCF Pilgrimage Charters as well as for other trains. Since all of the models are available, I am sure that ACME will be happy to bring out the Intercity Notte versions. Regards Mike C
