The attractive design, optimum use of space and reliable technology make the GTW 2/6 a preferred vehicle for regional transport.

The Bern S-Bahn and the RM in Era V

The Bern S-Bahn, operated by RM (Regionalverkehr Mittelland), was an important part of local public transport in Switzerland in Era V. This era, which dates from 1990 to 2006, was characterized by the introduction of modern multiple units and the standardization of rail transport. The GTW 2/6 played a central role in this, as its efficiency and flexibility made it ideal for use in densely populated areas. The Piko model captures this era perfectly and brings the atmosphere of Swiss railroad history to every H0 layout.
