The EC RABe –
A Gray Mouse in Cheese Land. After the end of TEE service and the
beginning of Eurocity connections in 1987, the 5 class RAe powered rail
car trains now operating as 6-car trains were rebuilt. Second class
seating was installed, and the class designation was therefore changed
to RABe. These powered rail car trains were given a light gray / dark
gray paint scheme in keeping with the EC look, but one that was rather
monotone compared to the elegant TEE paint scheme. These trains were run
on the routes Zürich-Milan and Zürich-Stuttgart and were soon known as
"Gray Mice". The trains' age however became increasingly noticeable, and
when transformer damage and axle breaks mounted up, they were reduced to
TGV feeder service between Bern and Frasne and were retired by 1999. One
of the trains was overhauled and restored in 2003 to the original TEE
paint scheme; it is now an historic, operational train belonging to the
group "SBB Historic".
This model can be found in an AC version in the Märklin H0 assortment
under item no. 37546.
