Model: Om gauge DC. 1:45 scale model with numerous details, detailed interior, functional bellows with magnets, interior lighting with energy storage. Equipped with Kadee couplings at the factory; spring-loaded center buffers are included as replacement parts, prepared to accept screw couplings. Metal wheels with printed wheelset markings.
In terms of detailing, the vehicles are in no way inferior to the Ge 4/4 II bogie locomotive or the freight car models. Numerous details on the floor of the car or inside the car body, right through to the elaborate interior design with storage boards or waste containers, are the special features of a car family that also sets standards for the model.

Prototype: The commissioning of the EW I standard wagons, which were purchased in three lengths, enabled the Rhaetian Railway to significantly increase the comfort of its train offering from 1962 onwards. For the main network (StN), 18.42 m long first-class cars A, mixed first-/second-class cars AB and second-class cars arrived until 1966. Slightly modified cars finally followed in 1969 for the Arosa line. Slightly shorter, 16.97 m long first-class A cars followed in 1968 for the "Glacier Express" trains, so that here too an increase in comfort could be achieved together with newly purchased carriage material from the partner railways FO and BVZ. In 1968, the fleet of the operationally isolated Bernina line was finally upgraded with the mixed class first/second class cars AB 1541-1546 and the second class cars B 2307-2314. In 1972, the delivery of the B 2451-2460 second-class cars ended the EW I's large passenger car modernization program. In order to be able to drive on the narrow 50 m radii, these cars were significantly shortened to 14.19 m. The new Bernina wagons were also used to connect train routes on the Bernina line to Chur or later to Davos without transfers and could therefore be observed almost across the network. They were the forerunner of today's popular "Bernina Express".
