by an equipment room and toilet, then by an entry platform, and finally, towards the middle end of that car body, by the second class compartment. Both vehicles had a drive shaft with angled axle drive. The transformer in each vehicle was mounted above the entrance platform. Service history The ABDeh 6/6 class was an operational success. In 1965, the BVZ therefore took delivery of the three ABDeh 8/8 class vehicles, as a similar follow up order. In 1981-82, the two ABDeh 6/6s were rebuilt, and, in light of the removal of their facilities for first class passengers, were reclassified as BDeh 6/6 class vehicles. From then onwards, until the introduction of the new BDSeh 4/8 class in 2003, the BDeh 6/6s were used to operate Zermatt shuttle trains. These trains linked, and still link, Zermatt railway station, which serves the car-free mountaineering and ski resort of Zermatt, with Täsch railway station, where there is a large parking station for people travelling to or from Zermatt by road vehicle. When the new BDSeh 4/8s joined the fleet, the BDeh 6/6s became surplus to requirements, were withdrawn from service, and scrapped.
