Swiss Vans

[Gizzy]

Having brought a RhB Ge 4/4 II in green, with matching coaches, I'm now starting to find some heritage freight stock to run with it.

At Bressingham this weekend, I succumbed and brought this cheap Gk van from a trader. Swiss rolling stock is slightly larger than DR, as can be seen in the photo of the Gk van next to a DR Gw van. The roof profile is different and the buffers replicate the RhB ones. It has a metal door and a ventilation hatch. Very different to the German one....

This van is lettered for the MOB, which is not physically connected to the RhB.

So I've removed the MOB lettering with a fibre glass burnish pencil....

RhB transfers applied to the metal doors, as I've seen on several You Tube videos.

Just a spray of matt varnish now and it's a job done, my first proper RhB freight wagon....
