LGB 30681 RhB Radio Test Car (club member wagon 2025), metal wheels

Radio networks are currently indispensable in railroad operations. The RhB uses its own radio test car to find suitable sender locations for testing functions of radio networks and radio amplifiers when renewing them. To this end an in-house shortened standard design car was converted in 2017 to a radio test car. Externally, this Xak 96501 car can be recognized by its antennas on the roof for the different radio systems. This Club model for 2025 models prototypically the current test car for the Rhaetian Railroad in Era VI including the conversions such as the antennas on the roof.

The Xak 96501 test car of the RhB is the result of converting a previous former EW I standard design passenger car, briefly 2nd class, at the beginning of 2017.The radio intensity can be measured on the RhB network with this radio test car.When renewing or making changes in radio networks, the use of this test car is necessary to test the function or make tests.
