Baggage Car

Baggage Car

This is a model of an RhB baggage car, which was equipped with a pantograph several years ago, the pantograph now having been removed. Auxiliary boxes are on the roof, which were mounted on the roof of the original just a short while ago. The paint scheme and lettering are prototypical for Era VI. The doors can be opened. The car has metal wheelsets. Length over the buffers 62 cm / 24-3/8".

Around 2010 several baggage cars were equipped with a pantograph, a transformer, and the necessary relays to safeguard power supplies for longer express trains on the Albula Line. In the meantime, not all of these cars were needed any more since the new Albula articulated trains can no longer be run together with the Bernina Express due to the Albula trains greater weight. The pantographs were thus removed on four of the seven cars. The lowered roof area and several insulators still remain so that the cars can be recognized at a glance.
