Only one RhB model was made by this company, the flat car for the transport of standard gauge freight cars Ua 8302. This perfectly detailed model was and is not made by any other manufacturer, and it is no longer available from HRF, either. Currently (February 2008), they don't make any RhB models. (I kept the company in this listing because you can still see the Ua 8302 on their → website.)

Pirovino offers finely detailed models of classic and contemporary RhB cars; for an additional fee, various stages of weathering are available.
Current information about news, release dates etc. are published in the Newsletter on the company website. Pirovino is listed again on the “Accessories”-page.

This company is not only interesting as a mail-order shop (ask for the “export price list”, i.e., without German VAT), but it also produces its own models.
Details are found on the website.
Motreno manufactures rolling stock of the RhB (many cars from the classic era), the Berninabahn and the Chur-Arosa-Bahn. In Switzerland, they are distributed exclusively by → Roger Suter in Meggen; the website informs about currently available models.

Attractively priced freight and postal service cars. Many variants of existing Bemo cars are available. A specialty of PR are the different goods for freight cars, available either separately or complete with the car. In addition, PR has different automobiles and trucks that are related to the RhB or Graubünden scenery.

No locomotives or cars here, but Sommerfeldt is a company that you will need sooner or later when you are seriously considering to build a RhB layout.
The RhB network is fully under catenary, and Sommerfeldt has been specializing in model catenaries for more than 45 years. They have it all: The masts, the brackets, the insulators, and all in the particular design of the RhB (which is markedly different from other Swiss networks). You will need two publications from Sommerfeldt to get started:
The current catalog which shows you all the parts that are available, but doesn't tell very much about what to do with them, and the instruction booklet (# 002). The latter, with text in German and English, gives detailed instructions about the construction of a working catenary system. Besides general considerations, each network, including the RhB, is presented in detail.
(company doesn't exist anymore)
The remainder of stock is sold by → Roger Suter. Some models are still available, please check the website.

Freight cars and coaches in all-metal versions, priced appropriately. Perfect detail, however, (nearly) makes you forget the price. Catalog and price list are available on the website.
