Classic design - historically inspired

The Ce 4/6 303 is presented in a revised look, as it was in service in the 1970s. Rivarossi has recreated this state of construction with great attention to detail: The angular body, the filigree roof equipment and the cleanly executed paintwork authentically reflect the appearance of the BLS locomotives of this era. A model that is not only impressive in operation, but also tells a story in the display case.

A BLS role model - tried and tested on mountain routes

The BLS (Bern-Lötschberg-Simplon Railway) used the Ce 4/6 series on demanding mountain routes. The 303 locomotive was one of the robust workhorses in mixed traffic. Its revised condition around 1970 makes it an interesting contemporary witness of technical development within the classic series - perfect for model railroaders who want to recreate realistic operating conditions.

Technically sound for analog use

The HR2999 is designed for the 2L direct current system and is ideal for analog model railroad layouts. It has a white light change and integrated interior lighting, which underline the charm of the locomotive. Thanks to the MTC21 interface, the model can easily be digitally retrofitted. With a running height of 163 mm, it fits perfectly into secondary and main line landscapes.
