Details

Add highly realistic Swiss freight detail to your layout with the Rivarossi HR6718 SBB Rilns sliding tarpaulin wagon, a finely detailed H0 gauge (1:87) model representing a 4-axle modern covered wagon with sliding tarpaulin system in SBB livery featuring repair patch weathering.

The Rilns wagon type is widely used across Europe for transporting palletised goods, packaged industrial products, and weather-sensitive cargo, where fast loading and unloading is required while keeping cargo protected. This model reflects Era V (1990s–2000s) Swiss Federal Railways operations, where wagons often showed real-world maintenance patches and operational wear, adding authenticity to everyday freight traffic.

With its sliding tarpaulin roof system and subtly weathered appearance, this wagon is ideal for building realistic Swiss mixed freight trains or modern European logistics consists.
