The prototype of the Fleischmann 863962: FS UIC-X wagon

The UIC-X wagons were developed from 1952 and set new standards in European rail traffic. With over 6,145 units built, they were one of the most successful express train car series and quickly became synonymous with comfort and modernity. The Italian state railroads (FS) also procured coaches of this type, which were mainly used for high-quality long-distance services in Era IV (1965-1990).

Characteristic of these coaches was the elegant grey Ardesia paintwork, which emphasized their modern and functional design. Without aprons and with smooth sides, the FS-UIC-X wagons embodied the aesthetics and efficiency of international rail transport of this era.
