I received an email from PiRATA this morning regarding the FS Car Carriers Offs 60 – S.I.T.F.A. FS Pay (serie 535 900-924). (Roco)

I can recall seeing unit trains with these cars running north and south on the Gotthard and there are a lot of photos of these trains in the 1968 and 1971 editions of "Die Gotthardbahn" by Marti and Trueb (Orell Fuessli).

These long unit trains made up of car carriers could be seen transporting loads of German cars south to the Italian market while also being used to transport Fiat cars north to the German market.

These would make a very typical consist pulled by an Ae 8/14, Ae 6/6 or Krokodil for the 1960s.
