Description

Rivarossi HR4430 H0 Baggage Car, Type 1968 UIC-X – FS, Era IV

Are you looking for an authentic baggage car to complement your Italian express trains? The Rivarossi HR4430 UIC-X 1968-type baggage car brings an important element of Era IV train formations to your H0 layout—with an authentic design and classic FS color scheme.

Classic Italian express train in UIC-X design

This UIC-X baggage car was a staple of many Italian long-distance trains in the 1970s. With its original gray color scheme, it blends seamlessly into Era IV train formations. A distinctive feature of this model is the large panoramic windows, which provided more light and a better view not only for passengers but also for the crew.

Detailed reproduction with typical features

Rivarossi has reproduced this car with great attention to detail. In particular, the Type 24au bogies have been faithfully recreated. The window frames, doors, and side lettering also correspond to the prototype. The result is a realistic model that fits perfectly into existing FS train sets.

Technically proven and ready for operation

With an overall length of 303 mm, this car is ideal for medium to large H0-scale layouts. The model is designed for the 2-wire DC system and features NEM sockets with close-coupling kinematics—for safe and visually appealing operation. It does not include digital or sound features, which makes it particularly appealing to purists.

Compatible with FS trains from Era IV

This baggage car can be optimally combined with other FS UIC-X cars—especially with passenger and sleeper cars from the same period. Whether on Rapido services or international routes, it adds that special touch of realism and authenticity to any train set.

A perfect detail for Italian model railroad enthusiasts

With the HR4430, you’ll get a finely crafted model of a classic FS baggage car—ideal for collectors, FS enthusiasts, or anyone who wants to complete their Era IV trains with a realistic accompanying car.
