simon fisher Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Good afternoon All I am new to the Rhb and I have a few questions to all the experts out there. Coaching stock are there any diagrams Or some where to find the information on train formations. Further question I see hopefully that there has been an evolution of paint schemes for these coaches in red. So what and when have the different scheme been introduced? I see some stock from Bemo has light brown doors why? Lastly is there anything else a newbie should know about the coaching stock in general? Thank you in advance Simon.

jonhall Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 A HUGE topic, I think you will need to narrow down what era you are interested in, and we might be able to answer. In terms of rolling stock drawings, everything RhB has been drawn in a series of books published by Schweer and Wall, although they are now impossible to get and Uber expensive, they have been re-published on DVD, which makes them available, but like everything else Swiss, not exactly cheap if you want the whole series.

BokStein Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Before we get too immersed in the wrong RH/hB, are we talking Rorschach Heiden Bahn (RHB) beside Lake Constance or The Rhaetian Railway (RhB) in Graubuenden? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon fisher Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Rhb Around Chur. I am loosely trying to model the line up to st Mortiz. But have seen about four five slightly different schemes all in red on the coaches. Thanks Jonhall for the tip on the DVD’s.

Glorious NSE Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Current booked* train formations for the RhB (and lots of other places) can be found here: https://www.vagonweb.cz/razeni/?rok=2020 2019 formations are also on the same site, but nothing before that.

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted October 13, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) The RhB stock DVD’s are here https://www.buch-auf-dvd.de/?mobile=0 On the liveries there are three periods of red although there were extended periods of transition. 1980’s-90’s red with anodised ‘bronze’ doors and small RhB logo on the side, a few lasted until at least the late 90’s! 90’s -2000’s red with silver doors and narrow grey stripe beneath windows and Rhatische Bahn / Viafer Retica lettering plus logo on either side. Still plenty of examples in service. 2010 ish Neurot (New red) broad grey stripe on side with Graubunden on the stripe, stripe continues over doors in red.

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted October 13, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 13, 2020 Photo sites and dvds from the period you want to model are great for showing the booked and unique formations. Note it has been common to add extra coaches for hire or stock movement onto virtually any train in the loco hauled era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted October 13, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 13, 2020 1982 was the introduction of red to some railcars with the fleet coach rebrand from 1984. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
