Prototype: Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) class Ce 6/8 II "Crocodile"
freight locomotive. Design from the first production series in the
version as a switch engine with one pantograph, brakeman's
platforms, brakeman's steps, older design buffers, and oil cooler
housing. Fir green basic paint scheme. Locomotive road number
14282. The locomotive looks as it did at the end of the
Seventies.
Highlights:
- Prototypical tooling changes as a switching Crocodile.
- Locomotive powered with 2 high-efficiency propulsion systems,
each with a flywheel.
- Pantograph that can be raised and lowered in digital
operation.
- Telex coupler at each end of the locomotive, each coupler can be
controlled separately in digital operation.
- New oil cooler housing.
- Figure of a brakeman included.
- World of Operation mfx+ digital decoder and extensive operation
and sound functions included.
Model: The locomotive has an mfx+ digital decoder and extensive
sound functions. 2 controlled high-efficiency propulsion systems
with flywheels, 1 motor for each powered truck. 3 axles and
jackshaft powered in each powered truck. Traction tires. The
locomotive frame is articulated to enable the locomotive to
negotiate sharp curves. The triple headlights are built into the
brakeman's platforms with a closed sheet metal housing. The triple
headlights and 1 white marker light (Swiss headlight / marker light
code) change over with the direction of travel, will work in
conventional operation, and can be controlled digitally. When the
locomotive is running "light" the lighting can be changed to 1 red
marker light. The headlights at Locomotive Ends 2 and 1 can be
turned off separately in digital operation. When the headlights are
off at both ends, the double "A" lights are on at both ends.
Maintenance-free warm white and red LEDs are used for the lighting.
The pantograph can be raised and lowered as a separate digital
function. There is a Telex coupler at each end of the locomotive
and each coupler can be controlled separately in digital operation.
The locomotive has highly detailed metal construction with many
separately applied details. The oil cooler housing is located
between the two groups of driving wheels. The locomotive body comes
in 3 parts with hoods that swing out separately. The roof equipment
is detailed with safety grills beneath the pantographs. A figure of
a brakeman for the brakeman's platform is included. Length over the
buffers 22.3 cm / 8-3/4".
