    Product Features and Details
    G Scale Era V 

    In 1965, when the Rhaetian Railway added hoppers to their fleet of cars, they resorted to the considerable experience of the Waggonfabrik TALBOT in Aachen, Germany. TALBOT delivered 10 wagons listed with the numbers OS 8656 to 8665 at the RhB.

    As from December 1969 these hoppers were assigned new numbers (Fd 8656-8665). Wagon Fd 8658 is one of a kind vehicle because it received an oxide-red livery with white lettering at the occasion of an exhibition. As from June 2003 these wagons were employed as service and maintenance vehicles with the new numbers Xc 9416-9425. One can find them on the entire network of the RhB.

    Originally these wagons had a beige livery. Today, the livery appears faded on most of them, which is due to the weather conditions and the operational service. Therefore their “livery” is now a mix of rusty streaks and the faded beige paint finish.

    These hopers have a very low centre of gravity and can load 9m³.

    The company Schindler Waggon manufactured several more hoppers identical in construction for the RhB and also for other railways. They are in service at the AB (Appenzellerbahn), MGB (Matterhorn-Gotthard-Bahn (ex FO/BVZ), the MOB (Montreux-Oberland-Bernois), SBB (Brünig-Bahn) and the TPF (Transport public fribourgeois (ex GFM)).
