The Leichtstahlwagen
of the Swiss federal Railways were unique in many ways, but most
people will recognise the sleek, aerodynamic, low-rider look, which is
the hallmark of the is wagon type.
The
Leichtstahlwagen project was the first attempt at a truly modern
standardised all welded all steel wagon and its successful outcome
became the spring board for a general update of all SBB rolling stock. |

Leichtstahlwagen in the make:
The meshes for the first flight of
Leichtstahlwagen have already been tested in-game, but they still lack
to be properly mapped and LOD'ed before they are ready to be released.
The only one still under construction is the cab control unit.
First planned release:
SBB Epoche IIIa (mid fifties) i.e.
following the "great revision" where the old 3rd class was abolished.
- 1st class
- 1st/2nd class
- 2nd class
- Bahnpostwagen (mail coach)
- Gepäckwagen (luggage coach)
- Steuerwagen (cab control unit)

Later on we will offer
the versions matching the times before and after as well. The first
Leichtstahlwagen were introduced in the early forties and the last
ones left SBB service in the late nineties, so we have quite a wide
timeframe not to mention the palette of different types within the
main wagon categories.
The mail and luggage coaches remained pretty much the same, but the
passenger coaches came in at least twenty different varieties. We are
looking at small varieties in the door arrangements over wooden tram
style seats to the exotic four and five axle Michelin bogies complete
with tires like the Paris Metro
