Due to increased frequencies in intercity express train traffic, the class 4010 cars were used more on the western line from the introduction of the 1975 summer timetable onwards. As a replacement for these trainsets, locomotive-hauled coach trains with the then modern "Schlieren" coaches were deployed on the southern line. In order to offer passengers a higher level of quality, the "Schlieren" coaches used in these trains were equipped with velour-upholstered seats instead of the previous artificial leather seats. While already existing coaches were retrofitted to become 1st class coaches, the 2nd class coaches were initially mainly delivered directly from the 300 series that were delivered from the factory at that time. These trainsets were supplemented by newly purchased coaches equipped for a mobile buffet service - the so-called "Stamperl" coaches - from the same series. It was decided that the external appearance of these interurban express train sets should also make an impression. For this reason, EMU 4010 was used as a reference for the paintwork of these coaches, except that instead of blue they were painted blood orange to match the class 1042.5 which was to pull them. The coaches are marked "g. K." in train formation plans to signify that they are elevated comfort coaches. Such trains in their blood orange and ivory colour proved to be very eye-catching and far more attractive than the earlier shades of green paint which were predominantly used. They quickly gained the nickname "Jaffa-Express". After the delivery of 1044.01 and 02, these two locomotives were also used on these routes.
