Trenitalia in HO: Riva E402b with Frecciabianca (c2012) vs Lima Expert ETR610 Pendolino (c2011)

Описание к видео Trenitalia in HO: Riva E402b with Frecciabianca (c2012) vs Lima Expert ETR610 Pendolino (c2011)

Having done a few videos of 2021 loco hauled Frecciabiancas, I thought I would go back to an original 2012 rake. I don't have a UIC-Z1 pilota in Frecciabinca colours, but in reality, FB services often ran without these. I can now create a full nine car rake of coaches though.
My Riva E402b (HR2805) E402.165 is hauling a mix of Projetto IC901 coaches (including some ex- 1st class coaches converted to 2nd class- something that occured less frequently in 2021 rakes).
Lima Expert 2nd series Gran Confort 1st class; a similar coach part repainted from XMPR/FB hybrid back to FB by me; ACME UIC-Z BHR; 2x ACME UIC-Z 2nd class coaches (one ex-1st class); Lima UIC-Z 2nd class repainted into FB colours by me between these; Lima Expert 2nd series Gran Confort 2nd class; 2x Rivarossi 2nd class UIC-Z. Unfortunately these last two coaches are in a much darker shade of white/grey than even the Lima Expert Gran Conforts. I have ordered the coaches to make the different shades of white/grey as inconspicious as possible!

To accompany this, I am running my excellent Lima Expert ETR610 pendolino ( HL1673 plus additional three car set HL4673)- probably the cheapest way you can buy a modern, full rake high speed train. This is the second release- Lima seem to have rectified all the minor quality control issues encountered in the 1st release (e.g. the lights have no bleed through and are nice and bright). It is in the Cisalpino livery the trains wore from approx 2008-2011, but with Trenitalia logos (poss from 2009). I do not think the trains ran in these colours from the December timetable 2011- they seem to have disappeared on the route until 2015. I think they may have been painted in Trenitalia AV colours and used on national services, possibly? So, this livery is from a very limited time period- I do not think that these trains could have run together in real life in these colours and that the introduction of FB conincided with the removal of the Cisalpino livered ETR610s. The only possiblity is that some trains moved straight to national services still in Cisalpino livery (though I have not really found evidence of that).
