RhB ABe 4/4I No. 33

RhB Nr. 33

At the opening of the BerninaBahn in 1908 orders were placed at SIG and Alioth for two series of railcars for a total of 17 designated as class BCe 4/4 and BCFe 4/4. Between 1946 and 1953 these were refurbished and renumbered with the new class designation ABe 4/4I and ABFe 4/4. Number 33 (originally number 5) sadly burned down in 1962, but several of these railcars are still operational with a service record of over 100 years.

LGB No. 23390 is a green variant of the LGB produced ABe 4/4I model. Outfitted with Massoth XLS sounddecoder and 2 powerful Bühler engines making it very suitable for local trains.


RhB Ge 2/4 No. 203 & 205

Rhätische Bahn No. 205 with graveltrain

The RhB bought 7 lightweight electric locomotives in 1913.
Of these, 3 of them were rebuild between 1943 and 1946 to include a central cabine for switching duties, called "Bügeleisen" bij locals. A fourth locomotive (No.205) was re-equipped with central doors in the fronts, to allow personnel to step over into the carriages.
Of the remaining 4 locomotives one is still used for special occasions. The other 3 were transferred to museums, or used as a monument.

RhB Ge 6/6I No. 412 & 413

Rhätisches Krokodil No. 413 Rhätisches Krokodil No. 413

The most famous locomotive of the RhB is the Rhaetian Crocodile.
Built in 1921 after the example of the successful SBB Crocodile in use in the Gotthardbahn. By combining 2 powerful electric motors and an articulated frame this locomotive can take every tight curve on the steep stretches of the RhB. After more than 50 years of service, all Rhaetian Crocodiles were taken out of regular service, but fortunately there are still a few of these locomotives in reserve. Which are regularly used for special trips.

LGB No. 2040 is modeled after this special locomotive and I own two of these:
-The B-variant is dark brown and equipped with with a revised number.
-The D-variant is light brown and equipped with yellow grab irons.

Both models are equipped with new wiring and electronics. A possibility for the future, the installation of a wireless webcam in the cab.

RhB Ge 4/4II No. 619

Rhätische Bahn No. 619 with a Rp-W stake car

In 1973 the RhB bought 10 new modern electric locomotives to replace the aging ones, among those the Ge 6/6I. Following the success of this new generation of electric locomotives, this number expanded to 23 locomotives in 1985. Making it the backbone of freight and passenger traffic in the network of the RhB.
The original series was delivered in the old green livery of the RhB and each locomotive was named after a town allong the network in Graubünden. Nowadays the locomotives have all been equipped with the current red livery and have recently been refurbished, which makes them still contemporary on the track.
