The "E424 103" 3035.1
edited by Alberto Pedrini - technical advice by Franco Spiniello
The 3035 has been produced from 1960 to 1986 in four types:
the .1 from '60 to '67 with the buffer support dark brown e pantographs type 8
the .2 from '68 to '78 with the buffer support light brown
the .3 from '79 to '80 with pantographs type 9
the .4 from '81 to '86 with pantographs type 9.1
In the following pics the 424 pulls a train of 4063 coaches, produced from '72 to '76.
On the left side you can see the two italian freights: FS 4550, the brown is the .1 ('61 '70) while the grey is the .2 ('71 '75)
The boxes that I show are both original, the lighter is the classic azure from 1961, the darker is from 1969.
