Class Ge 4/4 I Electric Locomotive (Art. No. 22040)
Class Ge 6/6 I Electric Locomotive (Art. No. 26600, 26602)
Prototype Class Ge 4/4 I Electric Locomotive:
The first class Ge 4/4 I locomotives were delivered as early as 1947 – they were the first modern RhB electric locomotives with trucks and single-axle drive. Their prototype was the BLS class Ae 4/4, which had been delivered 3 years earlier. These RhB locomotives turned out to be marvelous. A sign of this is the fact that even today – after 74 years – a pair of these 1,600 horsepower and 80 km/h / 50 mph units are still in daily use.
At the end of the Eighties, these locomotives were modernized. They were given new cabs and later single-arm pantographs, which along with the red paint scheme greatly changed their appearance. Unfortunately, none of these locomotives has been preserved in their original condition.
Prototype Class Ge 6/6 I Electric Locomotive:
In 1921 – 100 years ago – the first RhB Crocodiles, the class Ge 6/6 I electric locomotives, were delivered by SLM in Winterthur. With a performance of 800 kilowatts / 1,072 horsepower and a maximum speed of 55 km/h / 34 mph, these 66 metric ton locomotives fully satisfied the requirements of the times so that 15 units all total were built. Starting in the Eighties, they were replaced by newer locomotives so that currently only 2 units – however very well maintained units – are used pulling special trains. They are also used in regular operation pulling historic cars.
One-time series for the anniversary "100 Years of the Rhaetian Crocodile".
Absolutely scale completely new tooling.
