Description

Introduction

The Bemo 3544109 H0 Standard Car IV “Bernina Express” A 1275 of the RhB, Era V is a stylish first-class car from the exclusive Standard Car IV series, which was introduced in 1993 specifically for long-distance and tourist service on the Rhaetian Railway. In this version for the 3-wire alternating current (AC) system, the model is ideal for Märklin-compatible layouts with an Alpine theme and authentic train formations.

Design & Workmanship

The car impresses with its bold RhB red paint scheme featuring the elegant “Bernina Express” lettering. The precise printing, intricate engravings, scale-accurate window frames, and realistic roof design make the A 1275 a visual highlight. With a length over the buffers of 188.3 mm, it pairs perfectly with other cars in the EW IV series.

Historical Background

The A 1273–1275 series cars were introduced in the early 1990s as first-class additions to the existing Einheitswagen III fleet. Starting in 1995, they were regularly used on the “Bernina Express” along the impressive route between Landquart and Tirano. These cars offered passengers enhanced comfort and a modern appearance—a milestone in Alpine rail transport during Era V.

Compatibility & Expansion Options

The model is designed for use on 3-wire AC systems and can be optimally combined with additional Class IV standard cars or matching RhB locomotives—e.g., the Ge 4/4 II or Ge 4/4 III. Thanks to a minimum radius of 360 mm, the car is also suitable for more challenging track layouts. The in-house coupler mount enables stable and prototypical train formations.

What’s Included

Included in the package is the fully assembled Standard Car IV A 1275 in “Bernina Express” design, ready for operation on analog AC layouts without digital functions.
