H0 scale model of the electric locomotive Re 465 008 of
the Swiss railway company BLS. Elaborately printed in "Golden
Pass" design with extra attached windscreen wipers. Features a fine
depiction of the front grab rails and a headlight/tail light
switchable with a DIP switch.
The Bern–Lötschberg–Simplon Railway
(BLS) ordered an advanced universal
locomotive based on the SBBRe 460 from
Swiss manufacturers SLM Winterthur and ABB
Zurich, designated under the series Re 465. These
locomotives feature one inverter per axle, optimising tractive
power transfer to the rails. BLS primarily employs the 18
locomotives for freight transport and also for commuter trains.
