[Product introduction]
- The Bernina Express is a popular sightseeing train on the Rhaetian Railway, along with the Glacier Express. KATO has revised the product specifications and set configuration, and will commercialize it with the addition of an open panoramic passenger car that will be connected in the summer.
- The Bernina Express is a tourist train that connects Chur, Switzerland, to Tirano, Italy, and is a passenger train with a distinctive panoramic glass side window that curves gracefully across the shoulders of the car.
- This train is used by many tourists as it passes through the Albula and Bernina Lines, which were registered as UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 2008, and takes in the world-famous scenery before ending in Tirano.
- Since 2018, the logo painted on the panoramic passenger car body has been changed to a new design.
- In this product, the basic and add-on sets do not include a powered car.
- Enjoy combining it with the ABe8/12 Allegra, a reproduction with a different car number, as a towing engine.
- The basic set comes in a presentation box with a hanger that matches the KATO Rhaetian Railway series.
- The packaging makes the product look attractive and is also recommended for display purposes.
