Description
Prototype information
The trolley-shaped open panoramic passenger cars that are connected on the Rhaetian Railway in the summer are distinctive for their bright yellow color, which stands out on the Rhaetian Railway, which has many red cars. It is popular because it is connected mainly to the Bernina Express, local trains on the Bernina Line, and special trains, and can be boarded without any additional fees or reservations.

A beautifully detailed model at extremely competitive pricing. This latest version is (I believe) a different running number that earlier versions. It was also another perfect transaction with the highly recommended Train Trax, and the 'Pre-Order' facility that is available is a first rate option.

Although the Rhaetian panoramic car is a lovely model it is not for the model railway beginner .
The couplers to suit Kato stock are not fitted , they are bagged separately for you to fit .
It is a most fiddly job and with my hand tremors and failing eyesight I have already lost one of the springs !
Perhaps the advert could have explained this potential problem

Another excellent Kato item, well finished and smooth running they are fitted as supplied with the correct couplings to immediately couple to other RhB Kato rolling stock, ( the close couplings allow RhB models to traverse quite tight radii down to 150mm) In reality the Rhb does have some very tight radius curves on their system which can be observed occasioanally on RhB Webcams (Goto Rhb/livestream) I can see no reason for changing the couplings on these cars to Rapido N gaige couplings , unless of course they are to be used on a layout which uses rapido couplings
