This set reproduces the Vienna - Schwarzach-St. Veit coach group from the early 1980s and brings the charm of international express train service directly to your layout.

The prototype: The 'Arlberg Express'

The 'Arlberg Express' was one of the legendary express trains whose history goes back to the time of transcontinental luxury trains. While trains such as the Orient Express mainly served connections between Eastern and Western Europe, the route of the 'Arlberg Express' ran west-east across Austria. Originally conceived as a luxurious train, it developed over time into an international train with numerous coaches connecting cities such as Salzburg, Schwarzach-St. Veit or East Tyrol with the Vienna - Paris train line.

Detailed design and high-quality workmanship

The set consists of a 2nd class domestic passenger car of the class Bmpz and a 1st/2nd class Schlieren car of the class ABp. Both cars are equipped with black running gear, reflecting their operating condition in the early 1980s. The fine detailing and precise reproduction of the original lettering make these cars a highlight on any model railroad layout.

Technical features and possible uses

The cars are designed for operation with direct current (DC) and have NEM coupler shafts with close coupler kinematics to ensure safe and trouble-free operation. With a length over buffers (LüP) of 575 mm and a minimum radius of 360 mm, they can be used flexibly on H0 layouts. This set can be seamlessly combined with other 'Arlberg Express' sets to recreate various configurations of the Vienna - Salzburg - Schwarzach-St. Veit - Innsbruck - Buchs route.
