Kato 7074103 Container Coop Strawberry WAB26 & Lettuce WAB30

Kato is launching numerous RhB freight and refrigerated cars from Coop and the Swiss Post in various designs in the summer of 2022, thereby expanding its extensive Rhätische Bahn® range with additional freight wagons. The RhB freight cars are impossible to miss as they serve as rolling billboards on a rail network of 384 km throughout Graubünden. Each year, a freight car covers over 100,000 km and is in operation for up to 14 hours a day. The swap container system combines the commonly used road transport of swap containers with the advantages of rail transport. Depending on the type of swap container, it can carry beverages, food, packages, sensitive goods, general cargo, construction materials, and much more. The Coop cooperative, based in Basel, is one of the largest retail and wholesale companies in Switzerland. It was founded in 1890 as the "Association of Swiss Consumer Cooperatives" (VSK), renamed "Coop" in 1969, and is organized with around 2.5 million members. Under its own name, Coop operates supermarkets, department stores, restaurants, DIY stores, and much more. With the RhB refrigerated cars of type Lb-v, Coop supplies food distribution centers in Graubünden. These 20 containers can be flexibly transported on both narrow-gauge or standard-gauge wagons as well as on trucks, ensuring a constant cooling of the goods. Our models feature the Coop logo and each displays an image, such as a pineapple or potato. The Swiss Post advertises with striking slogans on swap containers in its four national languages: German, French, and Italian. The Post delivers the containers from the distribution center in Weinfelden via SBB. In Landquart, the container is transferred to the RhB and is transported daily to various regions in Graubünden. The Swiss Post has been the first long-term customer of the Swiss railway since 1857, shortly after it began operations in the 1850s.
