The "TEE RAm" of the SBB or "NS DE IV" of the Dutch Railways was a luxury diesel multiple unit, which was developed for the TEE (Trans-Europ-Express) service by both railway companies in cooperation and built in 1957. A total of five of these diesel multiple units were built and stationed in Zurich. The diesel power cars were developed by "Werkspoor" in the Netherlands, while the intermediate cars and the control wagons were built by "SIG" in Switzerland. The maximum speed was set at 140 km/h, whereby the motor coaches, with their two installed traction motors, delivered an output of 1,350 kW. Each diesel multiple unit consisted of a motorised engine car, a compartment car, a restaurant car with kitchen, dining room and a large compartment and a control car, which also served as a large compartment car. The multiple units were, like all TEE units, in the typical colours red and beige.
 
The model is a breathtaking 247 studs long in its entire length, which corresponds almost exactly to a total length of 2m. The multiple unit consists, as in the prototype, of four completely different coaches, which are coupled short. The different interiors in the wagons have been adapted to those of the prototype in terms of content and colour.
 
The engine car has a total length of 62 studs and consists of approx. 1404 individual parts. The drive unit, consisting of two Power Functions XL motors, the IR reciever and the battery pack, is also installed in the machine car in the model. The power of the XL motors is transmitted to the two three-axle bogies via a gearbox. The wheel diameters are, true to the prototype, somewhat larger than the other ones used in the train, which is why the medium wheels from "Big Ben Bricks" were chosen here. Four of the six axles are driven. Furthermore, a front lighting can be integrated without much effort.
 
The compartment car consists of approx. 1198 single parts and has a total length of 60 studs. The roof of the compartment wagon can be removed. It is equipped with five compartments and some small details, such as the seats, which are in red like the original. The compartments are separated from each other and numbered.
 
The restaurant car is also 60 studs long and consists of approx. 1191 individual parts. The roof can also be removed. It has a small kitchen with interior equipment and a dining room with 12 seats and 6 tables. There is also a coffee machine and another compartment with 10 seats. These areas were also modelled on the prototype.
 
The driving trailer consists of approx. 1173 single parts and has a total length of approx. 62 studs. The roof of the driving trailer can also be removed in the area of the seats, here the large capacity coach of the original was reproduced. There is room for 20 passengers. A front lighting can be integrated here as well, but due to the distance to the power-supplying motor car, the cables either have to be extended or the car has to be supplied with power in another way.
 
 To increase the level of detail even more, you will receive a sticker sheet to print out yourself in addition to each purchased set of instructions. With this you can add the "TEE" logos to the front of the train, as well as the typical running plans and the inscription "Trans-Europ-Express" to the side of the train.
 
The model is available in the realistic version with four units as well as only consisting of the motor car and the driving trailer.
 
The model was specially developed for the 3D printed wheels available here.
