749.006 ran round the stock at Tanvald after arriving with R942 from Praha on 29 April 2006. The first seven Class T478.1s were built with a rounded bodystyle before a more angular shape was adopted. 749.006 was the last of these to remain in normal service, based at Praha. By 2006 it was officially preserved in working order but it often worked normal services at weekends as well as being a favourite for enthusiast specials.
