I`ve found this beautiful car parked in Mendrision in Ticino. It is in very good condition, also the interior. These cars were called "Leichtstahlwagen" because the cars body are made of aluminium. They were built in the 50`s and were used first on major express lines as Gotthard. At the end they were used in the 90`s on regional relations, for an example the "Seelinie" between Schaffhausen and Kreuzlingen. I Don`t know why this car is parked there but it looks that its future could be in a museum or something else - hopefully! picture taken at january 6th by Remo Habermacher (rhabermacher@freesurf.ch)
