In 1984, the Deutsche Bundesbahn introduced the new “CityBahn” train type to make branch lines more attractive for local transport. To achieve this, 25 n-coaches (Silberlinge) were refurbished with a modern interior and received a pure orange/pebble grey livery. Additionally, ten class 218 locomotives were given the same striking colour scheme.
