ÖBB first class open coach Ampz 73 81 18-91 242-2. This is one of the coaches with MD522 bogies. Another car, the 73 81 18-91 235-4, has been rebuilt in the same way, that one with SGP300 bogies. It is not clear whether all 50 Amz73 coaches will be rebuilt in the same way. ÖBB-EC 668 "Steirisches Thermenland", Graz Hbf, 2005-09-25. tobias b köhler

ÖBB first class open coach Ampz 73 81 18-91 242-2, interior. The entrance rooms and lavatories remain the same size, the seating area is one room of almost 21 m length without any partitions. The seats (of type Compin Auriga) are the same as in other refurbished Ampz and ADmpsz coaches - not very well aligned with the windows, so from some rows the view is not particularly good. ÖBB-EC 668 "Steirisches Thermenland", between Graz and Leoben, 2005-09-25. tobias b köhler
