Blue F-train coaches

Starting with the summer timetable in 1951, the Deutsche Bundesbahn reinstated the "Rheingold" using rebuilt pre-war coaches. These coaches got a new interior and a new blue livery. Normally such a post-war Rheingold train consisted of 10 coaches: a baggage coach, a dining coach (initially a CIWL coach, later DSG coach) and eight ABC4üwe-39 coaches. These rebuilt coaches were so popular, that the Bundesbahn rebuilt more and more coaches to use them in their new F-train network.
