Fleischmann 7560010 - Electric locomotive Re 475 425-5, BLS Cargo

Electric locomotive Re 475 425 belonging to the Swiss railway company BLS Cargo.

■ For the first time in the new “Alpinist” design
■ Finely-detailed model with four pantographs
■ For use in international goods transport
■ Switchable headlight/tail light with DIP switch

In 2019, BLS Cargo decided to increase its previous Vectron fleet of 15 engines to 25 engines. The new locomotives are equipped with the country packages for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy and Holland, and also Belgium. These locomotives can mainly be distinguished by the new design along their sides. This design is closer to the “Alpinists” slogan, and depicts mountaineers high up in the impressive Swiss mountains. We have dedicated the selected locomotive number, Re 475 425, to the Re-425 fleet, which was replaced by the new Vectron locomotives and thus went into Swiss retirement.
