9453 112 Fd 8663 Ballast wagon ochre/rust
Self-discharging wagon NEW DESIGN
In 1965, the RhB procured ten two-axle self-discharging wagons OS
8656-8665 from the company Talbot. The wagons, designated as Fd
from 1969, have a loading weight of 15 t. They can be used in
smaller and thus model railway-friendly complete trains in several
eras. They were eventually renumbered to railway service wagons Xc
9416-9425, and some vehicles were taken over by the MOB. Similar
vehicles were later delivered as licensed constructions to other
railways, such as FO, MOB, and SBB Brünig.

interchangeable cargo insert that can be covered with model
ballast.
