The Rhaetian Railway in H0 standard gauge
The cars of the world-famous "Glacier Express" or "Bernina Express"
are also available for use on H0 standard gauge tracks of the
direct and alternating current system. For the well-known panoramic
cars, new standard gauge bogies with a standard pocket coupling
according to NEM 362 have been developed. The bogies are prepared
for the optional installation of interior lighting and feature
pre-assembled wheel wipers. If interior lighting is to be
installed, these wheel wipers only need to be adjusted to the inner
surfaces of the standard gauge wheelsets. For alternating current
operation, the ski wiper Art. 6545 601 must also be procured.
To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the "Glacier Express," which
has been in operation since 1930, MGB and RhB presented their new
train concept GEX 2006: Both railways put two six-car panoramic
train sets into service. In the following years, additional train
sets were acquired.
