Here are some additional photos of my RhB locomotives and rolling stock in 0m:
Photo 2: A Ge 4/4 II with two Fama passenger cars, an RhB B [ = 2nd cl ] and an FO A [ = 1st cl ]. These are two of the most common 0m cars to be found, as they, along with an FO B, came in the Fama Glacier Express sets.
Photos 3 and 4: A Ge 4/4 I in the rebuilt form, with a Roco luggage van, a van by Kiss, and an Alpin Line sliding sidewall van
Photos 5, 6, and 7: An Alpin Line Gmf 4/4 with another Alpin sidewall van, a Kiss cement car, and a Bemo container flat with a refrigerated container
- I am pretty confident the two Ge 4/4's are by Alpin, circa 2007, but am not 100% positive, as they were bought third hand. For that matter, with the exception of 90% of the Fama items, and a few Utz / Roco, all of my 0m purchases have had previous owners, although many were unrun or TRO. Alpin also catalogued the Ge 4/4 I in unrebuilt form in green -- that would have been the model I wished were available in1988 or so.
- The Alpin sidewall vans were produced circa 2005 in a variety of liveries; at that time they also made the modern RhB 4 axle ballast car, but I don't have one. The Kiss freight cars are circa 1993, I believe.
- The passenger cars Fama introduced stayed in production through all the various vendors, though with changes in livery and some details: Fama cars did not come with interiors, but they were offered for separate sale; Utz cars came either way, and again interiors were offered. Roco cars, with one exception, always had interiors. I think all Alpin cars had interiors, but am not sure -- I don't have that many [ or maybe I do -- they catalogued a lot of liveries I'm not sure they actually made ]. Fama and Utz cars had flexible rubber corridor diaphragms which could be inter-car connected; Roco changed to a solid rubber moulding with no connections.
- Of course FO and to a lesser extent BVZ cars ran through onto the RhB in the Glacier and other through trains, so one can legitimately use them within reason when modeling the RhB.
There will be another post with the two remaining locos and some more cars.
Best regards, SZ
