This us a limited special (Sonder-Zugpackung) from 1997 for the Swiss
railway 150 years anniversary. I bought mine in Oslo
the same year.
The locomotive and cars are unique to this digital set, and to the analogue
28471 set).
Two men comes with the set. we also see one of the special couplers.
The train length is 45 cm.
As far as I understand, some rich families in Zürich almost daily sent some of their staff to a famous bakery in Baden with the morning train, to pick up fresh rolls for breakfast. Therefore the popular name Spanisch Brötli Bahn, Spanish roll train).

The locomotive
26471-1 SNB 1/3 Limmat
Märklin Archiv v. 4.80 from 2004 lists this locomotive as item 0015 version 1. L
= 13,6 cm.
Version 2 is the locomotive from set 28471, with Delta decoder.
SBB restored this 1847 locomotive for their 100 years anniversary in 1947,
partly from the initial parts, but they had to build some new parts
It can be seen in the Verkehrshaus der Schweiz in Luzern

43471-6, S.N.B. C 66
L = 7,9 cm
43471-7 S.N.B. C 42

The metal sign:
I do like the scentence "Das Hochheben von Spazierstöcken und Regenschirmen ist
lebensgefärlich:
High rising of walking sticks and umbrellas is dangerous to your life.
I am not sure why; back in those days there were no catenaries. Maybe the
sign is newer than 1847?
