Technical specifications
The trains have aluminium and steel car bodies. Steel-bodied trains had a cream and blue two-tone livery, and now carry an ivory livery with a black and red stripe.[1] Most cars with aluminium bodies were unpainted with a red stripe. Aluminium cars which ran together with steel-bodied cars carried a livery.[2]
