Historical Background

The Furka-Oberalp Railway connected the Swiss mountain towns of Brig and Disentis/Mustér, forming a vital link through the Alps and serving some of the most dramatic railway scenery in Europe. The line became internationally famous as part of the route used by the Glacier Express, one of the world's most celebrated scenic trains.

During the 1990s, standard-design FO passenger coaches such as A 4064 provided comfortable accommodation for travellers crossing the Alps. Combining reliability, passenger comfort and stunning panoramic views, these coaches became a familiar sight on both regular passenger services and prestigious Glacier Express workings. Today, they remain an important part of Switzerland's rich narrow-gauge railway heritage and a popular subject for G Scale railway enthusiasts.
