The role model: Re 460 078 - Sustainable on the move

Since May 2023, SBB's Re 460 078 has been promoting the "Swisstainable on the move" campaign, which was launched by Switzerland Tourism. This initiative promotes sustainable travel and makes the tourist resort of Nendaz in Valais known throughout Switzerland. The locomotive bears the advertising message "Nendaz and me" and brings the idea of environmentally friendly mobility to the rails.

The Re 460, also known as "Locomotive 2000", is one of SBB's most versatile locomotives. It is used for both passenger and freight transportation and stands for Swiss precision and reliability.

Era VI: Progress and environmental awareness

Era VI (from 2007) is characterized by modernization and sustainability. The Re 460 in the "Nendaz and I" design is an excellent example of the combination of environmental awareness and efficient rail transport.

Technical features and equipment

The model has an integrated sound decoder that provides realistic operating sounds such as engine noises and signal noises. In digital operation, the headlights and marker lights as well as the cab lighting can be switched individually, providing a prototypical representation. The light changes in red and white depending on the direction of travel and is realized by long-life LEDs.

With a length over buffers (LüP) of 116 mm and a minimum radius of 192 mm, the locomotive is perfect for N-gauge layouts. The delicate Faiveley pantographs and the enclosed closed front apron emphasize the model's attention to detail. An NEM651 interface enables simple retrofitting and adaptation.

Design and workmanship

The locomotive impresses with its high-quality printing with different side designs, which impressively represent the "Nendaz and I" design. The precise workmanship and intricate details such as pantographs and engravings make the model a highlight of any model railway layout.

Care and maintenance

The model is low-maintenance and should be regularly cleaned of dust and dirt to maintain its performance. Moving parts and axles can be easily oiled. Thanks to its robust construction and digital features, the locomotive remains durable and reliable even with intensive use.
