Product Information
Full details
This Roco 6200090 scale model set is designed for adult model train enthusiasts interested in replicating Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) InterRegio trains from Epoch V. It offers a high level of detail and historical accuracy for its featured IR 1617 composition. A key benefit is the preassembled nature, allowing for immediate display or use on a model railway layout. However, as a specialized model, it requires a compatible HO scale layout and may appeal primarily to those familiar with Swiss railway history.
