This set fits seamlessly into Era IV with a precise reproduction of the large 1st and 2nd class coaches. The striking pebble gray/blood orange paint scheme, combined with innovative technology and detailed design, makes this model an asset to any H0 layout.

The prototype of the Trix 23691: A milestone on the Swiss railroad

The Swiss Express, which first went on the rails in 1975, was an innovative solution for long-distance transportation on the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB). With its eye-catching paint scheme and state-of-the-art technical standards, it represented the future of train travel. The large-capacity coaches included in the set, type A (1st class) and type B (2nd class), are typical representatives of this era and perfectly matched to the Genève-Lausanne-Bern-Zurich HB train route.

These coaches were specially developed to offer passengers a high level of comfort and efficiency. The car road numbers 2 and 12 emphasize the authenticity and prototypical character of this set.

Era IV: Progress and innovation

Design and paint scheme

The pebble gray/blood orange paint scheme of the Swiss Express is an unmistakable trademark of this train composition.
