Model:
The control car has an interior with 24 seats and a large compartment for motorcycles.
A toilet is also included. Since the UIC train bus bar was omitted, the control car is equipped with a pantograph for power supply. An auxiliary compressor for raising and lowering this pantograph has also been installed. The driver's cab and luggage compartment are illuminated. Attention
has also been paid to the correct lighting: 2 red taillights and 3 white headlights. Even the flickering when the fluorescent lamps are switched on is simulated.

Prototype:
Between 1990 and 2004, the BLS procured Talbot-type car-carrying wagons in three batches. The first series was delivered with square roofs. Subsequent deliveries from 1996 onwards received the characteristic rounded roofs. Later, the wagons of the first series were refurbished and also fitted with rounded roofs, so that all wagons now have uniform roofs. To complete the sets, four BDt control cars (942-945) were simultaneously ordered from Schindler in Pratteln. These cars were later numbered (956-959). The driver's cabs were largely based on those of the RBDe 4/4 railcars. The control cars are equipped for remote control by Re 4/4 and Ae 4/4 locomotives.
