It is a must for collectors and fans of N scale who value quality and historical accuracy.
The RBe 4/4 is one of the best-known electric railcars in Switzerland. It was introduced in the 1960s to modernize regional and express train services. With an output of 1,620 kW and a top speed of 125 km/h, it was a reliable and versatile railcar that could be used alone or in combination with driving trailers or other carriages.
Its flexibility made it particularly popular, as it was suitable for both short regional connections and longer express train routes. Characteristic of the RBe 4/4 are its aerodynamic front, the large panoramic glazing and the striking green paintwork, which made the railcar an unmistakable part of the Swiss railroad image.
Era IV (1965-1990) was a time of change and innovation for the Swiss Federal Railways. During this phase, the rolling stock was modernized and new vehicles were added to meet the increased demands of passenger transport. The RBe 4/4 was a symbol of this modernization and was built in large numbers. It set new standards in terms of comfort, flexibility and reliability.
Typical of this era was the green livery with white decorative stripes and the old SBB lettering. Vehicles such as the RBe 4/4 characterized the appearance of Swiss local transport and were regularly seen on the tracks until the 1990s.
