A little history:
The type EW IV standard wagons were delivered to SBB from 1981 and constitute one of the largest Swiss vehicle fleets with more than 500 units. The coach body is made of lightweight welded steel. The cars are very popular with passengers thanks to their spacious interiors with opposite seats and their quiet operation even at high speeds. Thanks to a number of modernisations, EW-IV coaches are still in service today almost everywhere in Switzerland.
Printing by Fleischmann:
The brand of model railways originating in Germany, Fleischmann was founded in 1887 by Jean Fleischmann. But it was in 1949 that the company created its first model train, which was built on an O:1/45 scale. The company was subsequently acquired by Modelleisenbahn GmbH in 2008.
In 2017, Fleischmann decided to specialise in the design of products based on the N: 1/160 scale railway model. Henceforth, the production of HO: 1/87 scale equipment will be carried out under the Roco brand, which currently belongs to the same group.
