Prototypical unit
There were only 5 of those units and they were assigned to routes between Switzerland and Italy, with one route going to Paris - more details here:
- TEE Gottardo, Zürich – Milano
- TEE Cisalpin, Milano – Paris
- TEE Ticino, Milano – Zürich

I'm now trying to find the original sound decoder from LS Models:
