www.roundhouse.ch is announcing a new Start Set for Switzerland, made up of a red Re 6/6 (37325) along with four hopper cars of type 46330 labelled for "Cementwerk Siggenthal"

The set comes with an oval of track and MS3 for CHF 499.00.

I LOVE this. Only problem is I really only need the cars. Maybe they will make an extension set?

Either way a must have for any swiss fan without an RE 6/6!

Upon some quick investigation, I was able to learn that the Zementwerk Siggenthal is owned by Holcim. For Era V, a train would have looked like this:

I wonder whether the livery as depicted by Maerklin is accurate for an earlier period. I have never seen Kieswagen with those "Siggenthal" markings before
and AFAIK Cementwerk would be spelled Zementwerk in German and the facility is known as Zementwerk Siggenthal by Holcim.

In any case, if you don't have the 37325 and are interested in having a typical (but perhaps not 100% prototypical) Swiss train to add to your collection, this is not a bad set.

@5Horizons:

Maerklin made the earlier sets with the green "Makies" cars. I bought two of those sets and I have one little shunter set to analog and the second set to Delta (Digital). I run the cars plus the additional car set (46331) as a unit train. I also have a few sets of the Weiacher Kieswagen cars which I run with my green crocodile.

I am sure that there will be some sellers on ebay who will break the new sets apart and may offer the cars by themselves.
Keep an eye on Joes-Modellbahnlaedle and other sellers.

Regards
