Beppe/Behind the Scenes

Television series
Beppe is a fictional Italian coach created by Becky Overton and Ian McCue.

In 2019, Beppe made his debut in the twenty-third series double-length special episode, All Tracks Lead to Rome.

Beppe is voiced by Vincenzo Nicoli (UK/US) in the CGI series in both sides of the Atlantic, respectively.

Beppe is based on the Turkish Sultan Abdulaziz's private coach, built in 1866 by the Metropolitan Railway Carriage & Wagon Company. The carriage was found abandoned in a shed and was restored by the Rahmi M. Koç Museum in Istanbul, Turkey.

Unlike his basis, Beppe does not possess a rear balcony, his roof is lowered and his front is made up of a 4x2 grid as opposed to a 5x2 grid.

CGI model
In 2009, the series introduced Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) as a replacement for the show's long-standing live-action models. Beppe was created from scratch in CGI by Jam Filled Toronto for the twenty-third series. The model was "hand-sculpted" in Maya, a 3D animation and modelling software.

Beppe's bufferbeams are altered from Henrietta.
