Historical Background

The Rhaetian Railway operates an extensive metre-gauge network through the Swiss canton of Graubünden, serving towns, villages and scenic Alpine routes. Its passenger trains are recognised for their ability to negotiate challenging mountain terrain while connecting communities and popular tourist destinations.

The Einheitswagen I (EW I) passenger coaches formed an important part of the RhB's conventional passenger fleet. Built for everyday regional services, these coaches were used in locomotive-hauled formations alongside the railway's electric locomotives. The traditional green livery represents an earlier period in RhB passenger operations and provides an authentic subject for Swiss railway modelling.
