The Re 436 114-3 electric locomotive is one of the best-known advertising locomotives of Regionalverkehr Mittelland. This powerful locomotive of the Re 4/4 III or Re 436 class was given eye-catching full-body advertising for the long-established Swiss steel company Stahl Gerlafingen.
For many years, the locomotive operated in this distinctive livery and was used far beyond the rail network of the Swiss Mittelland. Thanks to its extraordinary appearance, it became a true cult locomotive among Swiss railroad enthusiasts.
The Roco model captures this unique real-life history and allows you to feature the distinctive advertising locomotive on your model railroad layout in 1:87 scale.
With the Re 436 114-3, Roco places special emphasis on a prototypical reproduction of the striking “Stahl Gerlafingen” advertising design. The eye-catching full-body advertising gives the locomotive an unmistakable appearance and makes it a real head-turner at the head of Swiss freight trains.
A characteristic feature is the large round front headlights. This design is typical of various Swiss private railway variants of the Re 4/4 and visually distinguishes the locomotive from numerous other versions of this locomotive family.
The locomotive’s front is designed without a coat of arms, in keeping with the prototype. As a result, the model faithfully reproduces the distinctive appearance of the well-known advertising locomotive.
The roof equipment has also been carefully reproduced. The pantographs feature an innovative mounting system that enhances the delicate detailing and complements the high-quality overall appearance.
Whether pulling a freight train on a Swiss main line or serving as an eye-catcher at the depot—the Roco Re 436 “Stahl Gerlafingen” draws attention with its extraordinary design.
Technically, the Roco Re 436 114-3 also offers high-performance features for demanding model railroad operation. All four axles are driven, ensuring reliable power transmission to the rails.
An integrated flywheel promotes smooth running and contributes to harmonious motion. One axle is equipped with traction tires, which further enhance the locomotive’s tractive effort.
For coupling with compatible passenger and freight cars, the model features a NEM 362 coupling shaft with close-coupling kinematics. The specified minimum curve radius is 358 mm.
With a length over buffers of 177 mm, this H0 model features the characteristic proportions of its Swiss prototype and can be used in a variety of ways on your model railroad layout.
The Roco 7500214 is designed for analog operation on H0 two-wire DC layouts. Via the built-in PluX22 interface, the electric locomotive can be retrofitted with a suitable digital decoder if desired.
The model features LED headlights with light cycling based on the Swiss prototype. This replicates the characteristic lighting of the Swiss electric locomotive even during analog operation.
The option for digital retrofitting offers additional flexibility for model railroading enthusiasts who wish to convert their layout to digital operation at a later date. A digital decoder and sound are not included as standard equipment in this analog version.
Regionalverkehr Mittelland (RM) was one of Switzerland’s major private railway companies. In addition to regional passenger service, freight transport also played an important role in the company’s operations.
The locomotive fleet included five powerful electric locomotives of the Re 4/4 III or Re 436 series. These locomotives handled various transport tasks and could also be found operating outside the original rail network.
The freight division of Regionalverkehr Mittelland was later incorporated into the development of Crossrail. As a result, these locomotives were part of an interesting phase in the history of Swiss private railways and freight transport.
The Re 436 114 was given a particularly eye-catching full-body advertisement for Stahl Gerlafingen. The locomotive bore this design for many years, making it a familiar sight in Swiss rail transport.
With the Roco Re 436 114-3, you can recreate this special advertising locomotive and its history on your H0 model railroad layout.
A matching Z21 cab is available for the Roco Re 436 114-3. After appropriate digital retrofitting, the locomotive can be controlled via a virtual cab display using a compatible Z21 digital environment.
This upgrade option offers a particularly immersive operating experience and enables prototypical control of the Swiss electric locomotive.
Model railroaders who enjoy operating their locomotives via a realistic cab interface, in particular, gain an interesting opportunity to expand their model railroad operations.
Would you like to assemble a typical Swiss private-railway freight train or recreate the varied rail traffic in the Swiss Mittelland? The Roco Re 436 114-3 offers numerous possibilities for this.
