Re 436 114-3 “Stahl Gerlafingen”—a Swiss Iconic Locomotive

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 an eye-catching full-body advertisement for the Swiss steel company Stahl Gerlafingen.

For many years, the locomotive operated with this distinctive design and was used far beyond the routes of the Swiss Mittelland. Thanks to its unmistakable appearance, it became a true cult locomotive among Swiss railroad enthusiasts.

With the Roco model, you can bring this extraordinary advertising locomotive to your model railroad layout in 1:87 scale and recreate an interesting chapter in the history of Swiss private railroads.

Elaborate advertising design with characteristic private railway details

With the Re 436 114-3, Roco places special emphasis on a faithful reproduction of the striking “Stahl Gerlafingen” advertising design. The elaborate design makes the model an extraordinary eye-catcher and underscores the special character of this well-known Swiss electric locomotive.

A characteristic feature is the large round headlights, typical of the Re 4/4 locomotives operated by various Swiss private railroads. The front is designed true to the prototype without a coat of arms, thus reflecting the unique features of this advertising locomotive.

The roof equipment has also been carefully designed. The pantographs feature an innovative mounting system that contributes to the model’s delicate appearance and complements its high-quality finish.

Whether pulling a freight train on a Swiss main line or serving as an eye-catcher at the depot—the Roco Re 436 114-3 draws attention with its striking advertising design.

DCC Sound and Digital Lighting Functions Based on the Swiss Model

The Roco 7510214 comes factory-equipped with a DCC sound decoder and features a PluX22 interface. The integrated sound functions provide appropriate acoustic accompaniment and make operating the Swiss electric locomotive particularly varied.

The LED lighting offers a light sequence based on the Swiss model. In digital operation, the headlight and tail light can be switched on and off, allowing for realistic depictions of various lighting situations.

In addition, the locomotive features digitally controllable LED cab lighting and engine room lighting. These functions create impressive operating scenes, especially when the layout lighting is dimmed.

Imagine the Re 436 114-3 waiting for its next assignment at the freight yard with its cab lights illuminated. After the train set is coupled up, the locomotive begins to move with appropriate sound effects and slowly leaves the station. This brings classic Swiss private railway operations to life on your model railroad layout.

Four-axle drive with flywheel for smooth operation

Technically, the Roco Re 436 114-3 also offers extensive features. All four axles are driven, ensuring reliable power transmission to the rails. One axle is equipped with traction tires to enhance the locomotive’s pulling power.

The integrated flywheel contributes to smooth running and ensures harmonious motion. This makes the model ideal for varied runs with suitable Swiss freight and passenger train formations.

For coupling with suitable cars, the electric locomotive features a NEM 362 coupler housing with close-coupling kinematics. The specified minimum radius is 358 mm.

With a length over buffers of 177 mm, the H0 model features the characteristic proportions of its Swiss prototype.

Z21 Cab for a Special Digital Driving Experience

A matching Z21 cab is available for the Roco Re 436 114-3. With a compatible Z21 digital environment, you can control the locomotive via a virtual cab display and thus enjoy a particularly immersive operating experience.

The prototype-based control interface complements the extensive digital sound and lighting functions and opens up additional possibilities for varied model railroad operation.

This offers an interesting expansion option, particularly for model railroaders who enjoy operating their locomotives with a realistic cab display.

The Prototype – Regionalverkehr Mittelland and the Re 436

Regionalverkehr Mittelland (RM) was one of Switzerland’s major private rail companies. In addition to regional passenger service, freight transport also played an important role in the company.

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 were also used beyond 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.

Ideal for Swiss freight trains and private railway scenes from Era V

Would you like to assemble a typical Swiss private-railway freight train or recreate the diverse rail traffic of the Swiss Plateau? The Roco Re 436 114-3 offers numerous possibilities for this.

For example, combine the electric locomotive with matching Swiss freight cars from Era V. The eye-catching promotional locomotive looks particularly impressive at the head of a long train on an electrified main line.

The Re 436 also adds a special touch to model railroads focused on Swiss private railroads. Complement your layout with typical Swiss station buildings, overhead wires, signals, and matching freight facilities.

The model is designed for digital operation on H0 two-wire DC layouts. To use the sound and light functions, you’ll need a compatible DCC digital controller.
