NS couchette car ex TUI FerienExpress Bcvmz in the D 371 to Praha in Dresden Hbf.

NS sleeping-car type MU, No. 61 84 72 71 317-0 4747. It is painted in the latest NS livery for sleeping-cars (dark blue with yellow line and inscription "Slaaprijtuig * Schlafwagen * Voiture-lits"). It has no red lights, but instead two fold-up red/white end-of-train plates (compare to my photo of the 4758, which has no such plates and needs separate EOT signals).

Sleeping-car 61 14 70-90 202-8 2002 (Type MUs, 200 km/h, RIC, 26.4 m). These cars are owned by the CIWL and were previously rented to the NS, for the "OverNightExpress" Amsterdam - Milano. They are now in service for the ÖBB, but still have all original inscriptions, including the NS logo.
