The Rhaetian Railway (RhB) is renowned for its spectacular alpine routes, mastering steep gradients through tunnels, bridges, and spiral loops across the UNESCO-listed Albula and Bernina lines.

The versatile ABe 8/12 “Allegra” combines locomotive-class power with a low-floor EMU design and exceptional braking performance. This re-run edition faithfully reproduces the popular “Anna von Planta” unit.

The iconic Bernina Express, connecting Chur and Tirano, returns in its post-2018 new logo version. With panoramic windows and elegant red livery, this world-famous alpine train is beautifully recreated in N scale, with the add-on set enabling full formation expansion.

◆ This release is a reissue, with specifications unchanged from the previous production.
