Prototype of the Railjet: International cooperation on the rails

They offer travelers a comfortable and fast connection across national borders. The Piko Railjet set authentically recreates this modern and international travel experience and is perfect for depicting modern railroad scenarios on your model railroad layout.

Era VI: Modern trains on the H0 model railway

The Railjet set is based on the current state of the art and the design of Era VI, which begins around 2007 and continues to this day.
