Fleischmann Re 4/4 II 11181 – the famous Bourret locomotive of the SBB

The electric locomotives of the Re 4/4 II series are among the best-known and most successful rolling stock of the Swiss Federal Railways. For decades, these versatile locomotives were in service in both passenger and freight transport and shaped the appearance of the Swiss rail network.

With their four-axle design and versatile capabilities, these locomotives proved their worth on both major trunk lines and challenging sections of the Swiss rail network.

The Re 4/4 II 11181 locomotive has a particularly interesting history. In 1983, it received an extraordinary artistic design that differed significantly from the standard color scheme of the Swiss Federal Railways.

The artist Daniel Bourret from Wettingen was responsible for the colorful design. His design transformed the electric locomotive into a rolling work of art that attracted attention from railway enthusiasts and travelers alike.

Elaborate Bourret Design as a Special Eye-Catcher

A major highlight of the Fleischmann 7560108 is the elaborate printing in the authentic Bourret design. The unusual combination of various colors and graphic elements gives the locomotive a distinctive appearance.

While most electric locomotives of the Swiss Federal Railways operated in the familiar standard color schemes, the Re 4/4 II 11181 stood out with its artistic design.

The Fleischmann model captures this eye-catching design in 1:160 scale, making the Bourret locomotive an extraordinary showstopper on any N-gauge model railroad layout.

Whether leading a Swiss passenger train, a freight train, or as a special one-of-a-kind piece in a collection—this colorful SBB locomotive immediately draws attention.

Delicate pantographs and fine etched parts

In addition to its distinctive color scheme, the Fleischmann Re 4/4 II impresses with numerous prototype-accurate details.

The delicately crafted pantographs emphasize the characteristic appearance of the Swiss electric locomotive. The windshield wipers, which are made of etched parts, are also particularly finely detailed.

Closed rail cleaners are also included, offering another way to customize the locomotive’s appearance to match the prototype.

The combination of intricate printing, delicate components, and the distinctive design of the Re 4/4 II makes this version particularly appealing to collectors of exceptional Swiss electric locomotives.

Analog Electric Locomotive with Next18 Digital Interface

The Fleischmann 7560108 is available as an analog DC model. Power is provided by a motor with a flywheel, which ensures smooth operation and pleasant running characteristics on an N-gauge model railroad layout.

All four axles are powered. Two traction tires enhance traction and provide excellent performance when hauling longer passenger and freight trains.

The locomotive features LED headlights with Swiss light-switching patterns. This reproduces the prototype’s country-specific signaling system in the model as well.

For future digitalization, the model features an electrical Next18 digital interface. This allows for the retrofitting of a suitable digital decoder.

A Z21 cab is also available for the Re 4/4 II, which, when paired with the appropriate digital equipment and a compatible control system, offers a particularly engaging operating experience.

Item number 7560108 refers to the analog version. The factory-equipped digital sound version with additional switchable lighting functions is available under item number 7570108.

Close-coupling mechanism and versatile applications

The Fleischmann Re 4/4 II 11181 features NEM 355 coupler sockets with close-coupling kinematics. This allows the locomotive to be combined with compatible N-gauge passenger cars and freight cars.

With a length over buffers of 96 mm and a minimum operating radius of 192 mm, the electric locomotive is also suitable for more compact N-gauge model railroads.

With its four powered axles and flywheel, this model is well-suited for regular use on your layout.

A special collector’s model for Swiss railroad enthusiasts
