Design & Workmanship

Exquisite engravings, precisely positioned windows, a realistic roof design, and a length over the buffers of 188.3 mm create a harmonious overall appearance. The high-quality printing also makes the car a visual highlight on your AC layout.

Historical Background

The IV-series standard cars were put into service starting in 1992/93 to modernize the RhB’s passenger services on long-distance routes popular with tourists. Car B 2496 was one of seven second-class cars in this series that were specifically procured for use on the “Bernina Express”. Together with EW III cars, this series enabled the operation of a second complete train set starting in 1995—on one of Europe’s most spectacular railway routes.

Compatibility & Expansion Options

The model is designed for 3-wire AC systems and can be ideally combined with other Unit IV cars as well as matching RhB locomotives. The minimum curve radius of 360 mm allows for use on medium-sized to large layouts. The proprietary coupler mount guarantees reliable train connections, even on tight curves or gradients.

What’s Included

The Unit Car IV B 2496 is delivered fully assembled in the “Bernina Express” design, ready for operation on analog AC layouts without digital functions.
