Prototype
The "Freccia della Mela" (Apple Arrow) was a well-known overnight train operating in Italy. Its couchette cars provided economical overnight accommodations for travelers and were a familiar sight on long-distance services during the 1970s and 1980s.
This coach is ideal for reproducing authentic Italian overnight trains and can be combined with ACME sleeping cars, restaurant cars, and UIC-X coaches from the same period.
