As a basis the #96856 locomotive and cab control coach has my eye. The challenge I'm having is figuring out the part number(s) for the matching cars/car sets, and if any were even sold outside of Switzerland? Does anyone know how or where I can look to find the cars which compose a set?

I found the 96780 and 96781 sets in Italy. Now all EWI coaches in NPZ livery seem to be sold out everywhere, but sooner or later they will reappear.

As far as the coaches to go with the RBe 540 and BDt, it depends on how you want to construct your train. I have seen trains as short as RBe - AB - BDt and as long as RBe - B - A - B - B - A - B - RBe. Short: https://www.bahnbilder.d...del-bei-buerglen-tg.html https://www.bahnbilder.d...del-bei-buerglen-tg.html Long (RBe Sandwich - No BDt): https://www.bahnbilder.d...-bei-hindelbank-der.html but in reality, anything is possible: https://www.bahnbilder.d...rlaesst-am-24042014.html or even: https://www.bahnbilder.d...-540-038-7-kommt-im.html Let me know how many coaches you would like and I can help you find a recommended dealer in Europe if you can't find it in USA. Here is a complete list of the Piko EWI NPZ coaches for Arwico Switzerland: 96780 (AC) AB + B 2019 96781 (AC) A + B 2019 96784 (AC) B + B 2020 96785 (AC) AB + B 2020 AC wheelsets were available from the dealers for the 2019 models. For the 2020 models, they were available from Arwico with AC wheelsets, which was indicated by the letters AC after the model number on the box. Regards Mike C
