Fleischmann 6260059 N 2nd class driving trailer for EW IV commuter trains, SBB, Ep. V: Modernity and functionality in perfection

The Fleischmann 6260059 N 2nd class driving trailer is an exceptional model of an EW IV type driving trailer from the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB). This vehicle is an indispensable part of modern intercity commuter trains of Era V and impresses with its detailed design and innovative technology. With an integrated function decoder for the light change (white/red) as well as the possibility of operation in analog and digital mode, this control car combines historical precision with contemporary model railroad technology.

The prototype of the Fleischmann 6260059: Control car of the IC Bt series

From 1996, the SBB focused on the commuting of its long-distance trains and procured 60 IC Bt control cars for this purpose. These vehicles, which were specially designed for use in intercity commuter trains, offer space for 62 passengers. In addition, a wheelchair, baby carriage and bicycle compartment as well as a closed WC system with bioreactor were integrated to increase comfort for all passengers.

The head shape and driver's cab of the control car are based on the design of the Re 460 locomotives, which ensures a uniform appearance. Together with intermediate coaches of type EW IV and locomotives of the Re 460 series, these driving trailers form modern and efficient train compositions that are used on both main and branch lines in Switzerland.
