SBB First Cargo Consist

[MichaelE]

My whole railroad is passenger trains from SBB, DB, and ÖBB. I thought it was time to add a cargo consist, so I chose SBB Cargo International. This is a Roco locomotive and the rolling stock are all Roco save the yellow water tank car which is a Brawa. I was told after the fact that this was a maintenance water tanker for the SBB but I don't know how it is used on the railroad. That's a lot of water for a track or train crew.

 

I still have included details to add to the wagons and the locomotive, but I wanted to get it on rails and run it when it arrived, so the details are waiting until later.

 

It runs very well like all Roco locomotives I have and it sounds good too. Very happy with my purchase from MSL in Germany. 

 

Sorry about the slightly fuzzy photos. This camera phone ain't the greatest...

Hi,

 

Very nice! Look like you have a suitable refreshment to enjoy while watching the trains go by too!

 

Best regards,

Rather prosaically, the water might be for drain clearing, or for washing the tunnel interior during works possession after works (we used to do that at the Channel Tunnel).

That makes sense. Thanks.
