Alstom TWINDEXX – SBB RaBe 502 ‘Gland’ (4Cars)
RaBDe 502 TWINDEXX, Intercity version, Swiss Federal Railways
[docs.google.com]TWINDEXX is a brand new double trains previously manufactured by Bombardier (now Alstom) for Swiss Federal Railways. They are also known as ‘FV-Dosto’ in Switzerland. There are 3 version of this train built on same mainframe with minor differences in terms of lenght and coach configuration.
RaBDe 502 – is long distance Intercity version, with 8 cars as default configuration. One set contains 1st class end car, family zone end car, restaurant coach in the middle and have the speed of 200kmph. These sets can also be coupled with another RaBDe 502 on demand. They are currently in use on almost all mainlines of Switzerland; from Geneva to St-Gallen or Zurich to Ticino, RaBDe 502 has become a common sight.
For shorter distance RaBe version is made; it is made with 2 basic configuration, 8 cars with no family nor restaurant coach for higher capacity, and 4 car version for Regional/RegioExpress use. These versions have 160kmph speed.
This asset was initially made back in 2016, it was one of the reasons why I started modeling for Cities: Skylines. After all these years I finally made a new version. This time, I also got the technical help of Alstom Switzerland to nail the accuracy of the model.
