This first class coach, one of only two built, is painted in maroon for the African Train Lodge and has a sheathed wooden body with tapered roof peaks and a closed vestibule at each end. Side A is the compartment side and its interior layout is, from the right, a toilet, a shower, three four-bed compartments, two two-bed coupes, two four-bed compartments, and a toilet. .....oo....oo.....
