DOLFMEISTER PAPER MODELS SPANISCH BRÖTLI BAHN 1847 LUGGAGE VAN F94

The first railway in Switzerland, the Schweizerische Nordbahn (SNB), opened to traffic on August 9, 1847. The line was built to connect the cities of Zürich and Baden, a distance of 23km; it is still in use today.

The colloquial name ‘Spanisch Brötli Bahn’ came about because of the delicious Spanish pastries that were the speciality of a Baden bakery. The wealthy residents of Zürich insisted on having these delicacies on their breakfast tables, so their servants were asked to fetch them on foot! Once the railway came into operation, it brought the goods to Zürich, hence the name.

Sadly, none of the original rolling stock survives intact, but a faithful replica was constructed to celebrate the railway’s centenary in 1947. The engine and seven coaches are now on display at the Swiss Transport Museum at Lucerne and occasionally are brought into service for special events and excursions.

During the 1980s, the ‘Pädagogischer Verlag des Lehrervereins Zürich’ (teachers’ union) published paper model kits of the locomotive ‘Limmat’, its tender and the first class coach A 1. The models, designed for school children, were drawn to a scale of 1:29. In all the time since, none of the remaining six coaches has ever been published.

In 2015, it was decided to discontinue the three kits and dolfmeister received permission from Paedag to use parts of their designs to develop the missing coaches. The model offered here is one of the coaches needed to complete the historic train. Based on kit No. 313 of the first class coach, it has been entirely re-drawn to improve accuracy and a new superstructure has been designed. Printed on quality paper, it is similar in style to match the original Paedag kits.

The matching locomotive and 1st class coach are available in our other items .
