Swiss Express Passenger Car Set Model train

Prototype: Two Swiss Federal Railways (SBB/CFF/FFS) standard design passenger cars type Mark III. A type A open seating car, 1st class, and a type B open seating car, 2nd class. Pebble gray / blood orange basic paint scheme for the Swiss Express. Train route: Geneva–Lausanne–Bern–Zürich Main Station. Car assignment numbers 2 and 12. The cars look as they did starting in 1975.

Model: The Mark III car family is completely new tooling. The interiors are done in multiple colors. Both cars have factory-installed LED interior lighting. A buffer capacitor is installed in each car to bridge over short areas without current. The cars are equipped with operating, current-conducting close couplers. The interior lighting works in conjunction with the marker light car from the 42190 set and the assigned car order must be followed for this function. There are trucks specific to the types of cars, roof shapes, side walls, and underbodies with many separately applied details. The buffer height on the cars conforms to the NEM. There are separately applied vents, grab irons, control lines, and steps on the trucks. There are imprinted car route signs and car assignment numbers. Two crossover end doors are included with each car. These doors were installed on the prototype for crossovers. A decal set is included with the two cars with four additional car numbers and assignment numbers. Together with the 42190 set the use of five add-on sets can allow a prototypical 14 part consist to be made. Both cars are individually packaged in an additional master package. The minimum radius for operation is 360 mm / 14-3/16". Length over the buffers approximately 56.6 cm / 22-1/4".
