    Dear all.

    I did some research in "Deutsches Wagen Archiv" and several other known sources and figured out, that when TSG does the ABm coach correctly, it should have the following features:

    1. Window width for the 1st class section should be 1.200 mm, while for the 2nd class it'll be 1.000 mm
    2. Compartments for 1st class of which there are five and six for the 2nd class
    3. Width of the compartments are 2.088 mm for the 1st class and 1.7367 mm for the 2nd class
    4. Boogies are MD-33 with a speed limit of 140 km/h or MD-36 with 160 km/h

    This brought me to my previous topic in which I highlighted the rolling stock for the upcoming Neckartalbahn 1974 route in which I mentioned the all 1st class Am 203 coach. It was replied that no such was planned, but I hope that the developers from TSG might change this, as the differences between the ABm and Am are minor. These are:

    1. Ten compartments with 2.088 mm width
    2. Windows are for all ten compartments at 1.200 mm
    3. Most importantly more then half the coach s built if one mirrors the first class section.

    Regarding the boogies, it might sound better to do the MD-36 boogies for future Bm235 conversions, by the way. That would have the way for a Intercity 79 consist, if there's such planned.

    Let me know how you feel about it.

    Kind regards.

    PS. Here's one online source: https://www.dm-toys.de/de/blogartik...eNDOWPRvCTpw6h60zS_a1HbtAiruYUXM4feP1x10GQLAW

    It confirms what I read elsewhere, including "Deutsches Wagen Archiv".
