EuroNight / EuroCity / InterCity

 

While creating the train formation from Vagonweb or from other sources, there are many formations from EuroNight or EuroCity, or even "named" trains.

DB research: Bcm 243 / Bcom 246 & logo

 

A couple of notes as I'm doing research on various European formations ...

 

Bcm 243 / Bcom 246

How to distinguish those two passenger cars? The Bcm 243 is an older variation and doesn't have air conditioning, so the roof is completely flat. The Bcom 246 is newer and equipped with A/C, so there's a ventilation grille on the roof above the 2nd window - see below

Bcm 243 - ACME 90145

Bcom 246 - ACME 55296

 

Old DB / New DB AG logos

In 1994, DB changed - almost overnight - all the logos on its rolling stocks. The old DB logo refers to the West Germany national company, whereas the new one is after the merge of DB and DR, resulting on DB AG. Therefore, it is very very rare to see cars mixed with different logos - there should always be consistent!
