Details

Add modern Swiss freight character and advertising variety to your layout with this PIKO 2026 novelty 2-piece covered goods wagon set, featuring the striking “Starke Marken Saurer” branding for Schweizerische Bundesbahnen (SBB) in Era V. This set represents contemporary Swiss freight operations where wagons are regularly used as moving advertising platforms for well-known national brands.

The prototype covered wagons are part of modern SBB general freight traffic, used for transporting palletised and packaged goods across Switzerland and into wider European networks. The bold Saurer promotional livery gives these otherwise utilitarian wagons a distinctive visual identity, making them stand out in mixed freight consists and block trains.

PIKO has reproduced both wagons in HO scale with sharp, high-quality printing, fine surface detailing, and accurate Era V proportions, ensuring a realistic and visually appealing addition to any modern Swiss freight formation. The set is ideal for operators looking to add variety and colour to otherwise uniform freight rakes.

Engineered for reliable operation, both wagons deliver excellent running characteristics with smooth-rolling wheelsets for dependable performance across layouts. A NEM coupling pocket with close coupling mechanism ensures straightforward integration into existing HO scale rolling stock.
