I found this update on the swissinfo site today.

Apparently if you have good timetables and comfortable trains you attract passengers

A seriously good transport policy helps to.
Trains/buses/trams all arrive at the same time giving you connections we can only dream of here.

That's good to hear! More passengers means trains become a slightly bigger part of the Swiss peoples' lives and hopefully it will lead to a slight increase in modelling the SBB, therefore slightly more demand for models and so a wider range will be produced.

This may even trickle down to a model of the ICN (RABe500) in N scale in a few years time...fingers crossed!
A very comfortable train...

I wonder who might produce it? Fleischmann or Lemke/Kato/Hobbytrain most probably.

That's not totally true. Sometimes the replacement bus service actually makes the connection with the train it was replacing...!!!
