SBB Re 460 011 “Glas Trösch”—an elegant promotional locomotive with a distinctive character

The Re 460 011 electric locomotive belongs to the well-known Lok-2000 family of the Swiss Federal Railways. Since fall 2023, the locomotive has been in service with a special promotional livery for the Swiss company Glas Trösch, making a striking impression on Swiss passenger rail service.

The promotional design is characterized by a simple yet elegant appearance. It combines the distinctive shape of the Re 460 with a modern color scheme, making the locomotive a real eye-catcher on Swiss railways.

With the Roco Re 460 011, you can add this extraordinary promotional locomotive in 1:87 scale to your model railroad layout and recreate modern SBB passenger service with a specially designed locomotive.

Prototype-accurate design with separately attached front details

Roco has modeled the Re 460 011 with special attention to the characteristic features of the current prototype. The eye-catching “Glas Trösch” advertising design is complemented by numerous finely crafted details.

Particularly noteworthy are the separately attached windshield wipers, which lend the striking locomotive front a three-dimensional effect. The SBB logo is also designed as a separately attached component, underscoring the high-quality model design.

Another special feature is the additional handrail on the front. This detail reflects the current configuration of the prototype locomotive and contributes to the prototype-accurate representation.

The characteristic shape of the Re 460, with its aerodynamically designed front, gives the model an unmistakable appearance. Combined with the elegant advertising livery, the result is an attractive electric locomotive for modern Swiss long-distance rail service.

AC sound and digitally controllable lighting functions based on the Swiss prototype

The Roco 7520236 comes factory-equipped with a digital 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 headlight offers a light-switching pattern based on the Swiss prototype. In digital operation, the high beams can be switched on and off, allowing for the realistic representation of various lighting scenarios.

In addition, the headlight and tail light are digitally controllable. This allows you to specifically adjust the lighting to different operating situations, such as when pulling a passenger train or when stabling the locomotive at the station.

Imagine the Re 460 011 “Glas Trösch” waiting at Zurich Station with its lights on for its next assignment. After the passenger cars have been coupled up, the locomotive begins to move with appropriate sound effects and slowly leaves the platform. This brings modern Swiss long-distance rail service to life on your model railroad layout.

Two-axle drive with flywheel and traction tires

Technically, the Roco Re 460 011 also offers well-designed features for demanding model railroad operation. Two axles are driven, ensuring power is transmitted to the rails.

Two axles are equipped with traction tires, which support the locomotive’s tractive effort. An integrated flywheel further contributes to smooth running and harmonious motion.

For coupling with compatible passenger cars, the model features a NEM 362 coupler socket without close-coupling kinematics. The specified minimum curve radius is 358 mm.

With a length over buffers of 212 mm, the H0 model features the characteristic proportions of its Swiss prototype.

The Prototype—the Successful SBB Re 460 “Lok 2000” Series

The Re 460 series electric locomotives are among the best-known modern locomotives of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB). The locomotives were developed as part of the Bahn 2000 project, and a total of 119 units were built between 1991 and 1996.

With their striking aerodynamic design and powerful three-phase AC technology, these locomotives set new standards in Swiss rail transport. They were designed for high-quality passenger service and reach a top speed of 200 km/h.

The Re 460 has a power output of approximately 6,100 kW, making it one of the most powerful electric locomotives in the Swiss Federal Railways fleet. These locomotives have shaped the landscape of Swiss passenger rail for many years, particularly when pulling InterCity and InterRegio trains.

The Re 460 011, featuring the “Glas Trösch” advertising design, represents the modern operational history of this locomotive family and combines proven Swiss railway technology with an extraordinary advertising design.

The ideal locomotive for modern SBB passenger trains of Era VI

For example, combine the electric locomotive with matching SBB double-decker cars or modern Era VI passenger cars. The promotional locomotive looks particularly impressive at the head of a long passenger train set on an electrified Swiss main line.

The Re 460 also looks outstanding on model railroads featuring modern stations, spacious platforms, and typical Swiss landscaping. Complement your layout with matching overhead wires, signals, and period-appropriate station buildings to recreate the atmosphere of Swiss passenger rail service.

The distinctive “Glas Trösch” advertising design makes the locomotive a real eye-catcher within your SBB train formations.

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

A special collector’s model for SBB and advertising locomotive fans
