Product Description
The Ge6/6-I is a six-axle, rod-driven box-style electric locomotive introduced in 1921 along with the electrification of the Albula Line. Commonly known as the "Rhaetian Crocodile," two units are still operating today and remain in working condition. During its service in the 1980s, it was frequently seen hauling green EW I passenger coaches, baggage cars, and freight wagons loaded with logs. A special set inspired by the era of the “Rhaetian Crocodile,” including the locomotive, a luggage car, and passenger car, is now available, allowing you to accurately recreate the classic formation.
Features
Modeled after locomotive No. 415 (differs from the standalone <3103-1>) with unique numbering and markings, packaged together with a baggage car and passenger car.
Replicates the distinctive rod-driven running gear, the bonnet that pivots with the bogies, and the asymmetrical body, with significantly different window and louver arrangements on each side.
The yellow handrails on the side of the crew room door are included separately as user-installable parts.
All three front lights illuminate, except for the central light between the front windows, which does not. The outer headlights feature silver rims as seen on the real unit.
Includes the large, uniquely shaped pantograph.
The baggage car features the green-painted exterior design from earlier years, from before the pantograph was installed and when part of the window was still covered.
The passenger cars reflect the design of the EW I coaches used on mainline services, with longer bogies and are painted in green as they were before refurbishment.
The first-class coach accurately recreates the configuration from before refurbishment, with toilets located at both ends on the left side.
The second-class coach also replicates the pre-refurbishment design, featuring a toilet at the right end of the car.
Compatible with LED interior lighting sets (clear) that are available to buy separately.
