Historical prototype: The Ae 6/6 - pride of the Swiss Alpine lines

After the Second World War, the famous "crocodile" still dominated the Gotthard line in Switzerland. However, in order to cope with the increasing train weights and the requirements for higher speeds, the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) developed the Ae 6/6 in collaboration with SLM and BBC, which was regarded as the new technical benchmark for the Swiss Alpine railroads. The pre-series models 11401 and 11402 were put into service in 1952 and reached a top speed of 125 km/h with 4300 kW of power. With their characteristic chrome livery and the Swiss cross on the front ends, the Ae 6/6s became SBB icons and mastered the demanding Alpine routes for decades. From the late 1950s onwards, the chrome decoration was removed to prevent rust, which visually distinguished the standard locomotives.

The pantographs can be raised and lowered digitally, which further enhances the play value and realism of this locomotive.

A PowerPack storage capacitor ensures an uninterrupted power supply and guarantees stable operation even on difficult sections of track.

Flexible use on DC and AC systems

The ESU 31530 is suitable for use on direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) systems and has universal electronics with a plug-in slider and slide switch, which enables simple switching between two-wire and center conductor operation. The minimum radius of 360 mm allows the locomotive to be used safely on a wide variety of system layouts and makes the model versatile.

Authentic color scheme and high-quality design

The green paintwork with the characteristic chrome strips gives the locomotive its unmistakable look and makes it look like the historical original. Separately applied grab rails, steps and etched details on the ends make the locomotive a real eye-catcher. The high-quality finish of the bogie covers and the clear view in the engine room underline the attention to detail and the high quality of the model.

First-class workmanship and long-lasting quality
