The EW I and its successor the EW II
underwent a number of upgrades during their long lifespan, and the
wagons which initially were intended for internal Swiss use only,
gradually adopted a lot of the standard features laid down in the UIC
charter. Also a number of outdated components were changed underway.
Most noticeable the "accordions" which were exchanged for tubular
rubber fenders and a slightly longer end section, and the at least
four different liveries.
Einheitswagen I in the make:
The meshes for the first EW I's have
been tested in-game, but they still lack to be properly LOD'ed before they are ready to be released.
Presently only the 1st and 2nd class units are driveable, which leaves
luggage, mail and cab control units outstanding.
First planned release:
SBB Epoche V (nineties) New Look.
- 1st class
- 1st/2nd class
- 2nd class
- Speisewagen (dinner wagon)
- Bahnpostwagen (mail coach)
- Gepäckwagen (luggage coach)
- Steuerwagen three types (cab control unit)

Later on we will offer
the versions matching the times before and after as well. Especially
the early versions and the latest "self service" versions will be
different. The latter due to their revised doors and distinctive white
and blue livery. The earlier EW I's given the "accordions" and the non
computer numbering.
They will match the planned Einheitslokomotive Re 4/4 I perfectly,
enabling the user to create some of the more exotic consists that are
so uniquely Swiss, namely three or four coaches, a locomotive and then
three or four coaches and up front a cab control unit. Actually the
Swiss still did so after the "accordions" were exchanged for rubber
fender, so feel free to jumble the wagons around as you please.
Finally please note that the EW I can be mixed with more or less all
other Swiss passenger coaches as well, so do not stick to mixing EW
I's with their own kind.
