Product Features and Details
Prototype: Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) class Ce 6/8 I "Köfferli" / "Little Suitcases" electric freight locomotive. Fir green basic paint scheme with gray running gear. Cab doors with windows at the ends of the locomotive, and with walkover plates, with sanding equipment, with an oncoming train light, and with inductive magnets. Road number 14201. The locomotive looks as it did at the beginning of the Fifties.
Model: The locomotive has an mfx+ digital decoder and extensive sound and light functions. It also has controlled high-efficiency propulsion with a flywheel, centrally mounted. 3 driving wheels axles and a jackshaft powered in each truck by cardan shafts. Traction tires. The locomotive frame is articulated to enable the locomotive to negotiate sharp curves. Triple headlights and 1 white marker light (Swiss headlight / marker light code) change over with the direction of travel, will work in conventional operation, and can be controlled digitally. When the locomotive is running
"light" the lighting can be changed to 1 red marker light. The oncoming train light can be controlled separately in digital operation. The headlights at Locomotive Ends 2 and 1 can be turned off separately in digital operation. The locomotive has the double "A" light function. The cab lighting
and engine room lighting can also be turned off separately in digital operation. Maintenance-free warm white and red LEDs are used for the lighting. There is a buffer capacitor. This locomotive is highly detailed metal construction with many separately applied details, such as cooling pipes for the transformer oil. The cabs and engine room are modelled. Sanding equipment is included on the groups of driving wheels. The roof equipment is detailed with heating resistors, roof conductors, insulators, and roof walk boards as well as double-arm pantographs with double contact strips. The minimum radius for operation is 360 mm / 14-3/16". Brake
hoses, imitations of prototype couplers, and access ladders are included.
