Description
Rail freight transport on each Rhaetian Railway line is an integral part of the lives of citizens who transport food, beverages and mail in the rugged mountainous regions of the Swiss Alps. Among them, the COOP refrigerated container, which is popular for its various design variations, and the container of Swiss Post, a state-owned company responsible for the Swiss postal business, are items that symbolize the lives of citizens found throughout Switzerland. You can see it being transported on a daily basis. Both Lb-v and Sb-t containers can be loaded.
The prototype reproduces the appearance of recent years seen in both freight cars and containers after 2012.
Model
This wagon will fit with the following items to create a realistic rake:

8202 - Swiss Post Container Wagon

The Kato RhB range expands a little more with this wagon! An excellent addition to the range! Although quite a small wagon the detail is excellent, smooth running, and of course when the containers (sold as separate items) are fitted they look superb,
These are often seen at the rear of passenger trains, sometimes just one, or sometimes 2 or 3,
I have observed on RhBs webcams these vehicles being uncoupled from passenger services in stations, the passenger trains departs, and a RhB Tractor ( Shunting Loco) removes the wagons to their unloading point

A nice little model. Despite the small size they run well. I purchased two and the pack of Containers which fit very well on them and look great.
Great service as always from Train Trax also. Arrived on time and well packaged.
