CZ 1001-1006

After the fleet of first-class bogie coaches entered service, in 1933 the third-class coach fleet also gained a series of 6 coaches that were a departure from the classic 2-axle platform style. These were coaches with an all-metal body mounted on TIBB bogies under licence from Brill, numbered 1001 to 1006. The structure immediately brings to mind that of the contemporary E 700 electric railcars and E 800 trailers recently delivered. Its robust structure with exposed bolts and the use of bogies allowed a coach of greater length and capacity to be produced. Built by OM in Milan in 1933, they originally featured 92 seats and one toilet. The bogies were fitted with primary suspension with coil springs on Isothermos bushings. The secondary suspension was still the double leaf spring type clamp-mounted in a series of three, resting on a frame suspended from the main bogie frame. This meant a far more comfortable ride even for 3rd-class passengers. Five of these coaches are still in existence.

    The interior was divided into two third-class sections, smoking and non-smoking. Both were furnished with wooden benches divided into rows of two and three seats, providing a total of 10 seats per module. There were 92 seats overall. Large, simple windows with metal frames. Round brass ventilators between the windows. Battery-powered electric lighting, and wooden slat luggage shelves above the seats, later replaced with luggage racks running lengthwise above the windows. The toilet was accessed from a platform at the end. These platforms were now the enclosed type with hinged access doors. Heating via steam radiators positioned under the seats as on the Az coaches. In 1955, they were included in electric train compositions and were therefore fitted with cables and pipes as well as high-voltage overhead lines on the roof. They were also equipped with electric heating.
    They continued to operate until the early 1990s. Three of these coaches are in use by the SAFRE in Reggio Emilia. A fourth by a plant nursery in Saronno. A fifth is at the locomotive depot in Novate.
